WikipediaVision (beta) - Realtime wiki update map (lkozma.net)
WikipediaVision (beta). Anonymous edits to Wikipedia (almost) in real-time. Note: WikipediaVision was my little project started back in 2007 that displayed a real-time map of edits to Wikipedia. Whenever someone would edit an article, a little popup would show up on the world map, indicating which article was edited from where. After keeping it running uninterrupted for 15+ years, unfortunately I no longer find the time to do so.

Mt. Everest has around 200 dead bodies (pics) Mt. Everest has around 200 dead bodies on the mountain. It is nearly impossible for recovery of a body off the mountain.

Chromebook: 'Father of Google Apps' Raises Second Child | Wired Enterprise Google's Rajen Sheth and his new baby: the Chromebook. Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.com. Rajen Sheth was grinning from ear to ear. It was 2004, and Sheth was interviewing for a job with Google’s enterprise division. Google enterprise vet Matt Glotzbach remembers Sheth’s immediate response as a lighthearted moment. Seven years later, Sheth is widely known as the “father of Google Apps,” the online office apps suite he built around Gmail and grew into a service that 4 million businesses now use in lieu of traditional desktop packages such as Microsoft Office and Lotus Notes. Late last year, Sheth left the Apps business to lead a new charge into the enterprise, urging businesses to move away from traditional hard-drive-equipped machines running local applications and embrace a new breed of stripped-down laptop that runs all apps inside a web browser: the Google Chromebook. Running the company’s Chrome OS operating system, the Chromebook is an even more audacious gamble.

Les alliés de Sarkozy renfloués dans l'urgence Infographic of the Day: Subway Map Morphs Based on Travel Times | Co.Design The iconic London Tube Map is endlessly inspirational to other designers. Here's another one for the pile: Tom Carden's "Time Travel Tube Map" uses the Processing visual programming language to warp London into different shapes that display the travel time required to get to any station in the system from one central location. The clever twist is that the "central" station can be any one you choose: the map reshapes itself to focus on whatever point you happen to be at. It's like that old saw: "wherever you go, there you are"--but powered by Java. What London looks like to God. What London looks like to someone stuck way the #&^@ out in Chesham. But hey, it's still better than coming in from Heathrow. Ffffuuuuu..... Carden says that his travel-time estimates are still a little off.

Top 10 Lesser Known Mysteries - Top 10 Lists | Listverse Mysteries It was Einstein that said ‘The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.’ For me, mystery is the fabric of Life, and since I discovered Listverse a few years ago I have noticed it’s a sentiment many people share. I have tried to avoid the usual topics of ghosts, ufo’s etc., and tried to opt for the niches and gems of the unexplained genre. The Brentford area of London is a peculiar place in terms of the names. There have been no other sightings since, and the Legendary Griffin has drifted into local folklore. Amphibians in Ancient Iraq In ancient Mesopotamia, the world’s first academically ratified, fully functioning civilizations of Babylon, Sumer and Akkadia emerged. Those who saw the animal dismissed claims it was a Hyena, due to its large hind legs. “Sign that parchment!

False memory syndrome False memory syndrome (FMS) describes a condition in which a person's identity and relationships are affected by memories which are factually incorrect but are strongly believed.[1] Peter J. Freyd originated the term, which the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF) subsequently popularized. The term is not recognized as a mental disorder[3] in any of the medical manuals, such as the ICD-10[4] or the DSM-5;[5] however, the principle that memories can be altered by outside influences is overwhelmingly accepted by scientists.[6][7][8][9] False memories may be the result of recovered memory therapy, a term also defined by the FMSF in the early 1990s,[10] which describes a range of therapy methods that are prone to creating confabulations. Definition[edit] False memory syndrome is defined as: [A] condition in which a person's identity and interpersonal relationships are centered around a memory of traumatic experience which is objectively false but in which the person strongly believes.

Manger BIO c’est meilleur La science confirme enfin ce dont tout le monde se doutait : les produits biologiques sont plus sains que ceux issus de l’agriculture intensive. Si l’étude menée sous couvert de l’Union Européenne au titre du volet «Qualité et sûreté alimentaires» du sixième programme-cadre (6e PC) n’a pas encore aboutit à des résultats définitifs les premiers données semblent probantes. Dans le cadre de ce projet, d'une durée de quatre ans, les chercheurs de l'université de Newcastle ont élevé du bétail et ont cultivé des fruits et des légumes, notamment des choux, des laitues, des carottes, des pommes de terre et du blé, dans des exploitations agricoles biologiques et non biologiques en Europe. Ils en ont ensuite comparé le goût et la qualité nutritionnelle. Selon eux, les fruits et les légumes biologiques contiennent 40 % d'antioxydants en plus que les produits non biologiques.

Places in the city emotionally 'closer' visualised and sonified by Kitchen Budapest #foursquare #openframeworks SubMap is a project by Dániel Feles, Krisztián Gergely, Attila Bujdosó and Gáspár Hajdu at Kitchen Budapest. The project visualises and sonificates data pulled from one of the biggest news sites of Hungary, origo.hu. One frame is one day, and on one day many things can happen. The project developed from the idea to draw a subjective map of Budapest that represented their preferred places or memories in the city. Kitchen Budapest, opened in June 2007, is a new media lab for young researchers who are interested in the convergence of mobile communication, online communities and urban space and are passionate about creating experimental projects in cross-disciplinary teams.

PODD (1) : une nouvelle approche analytique du développement dur Mardi 6 novembre 2007 2 06 /11 /Nov /2007 00:00 Par Dominique Valck Dominique Valck et Hélène Pauly de 3D Territoires nous proposent une approche analytique originale pour caractériser ce qui est, ou non, du développement durable. Un schéma sémiotique très simple, que nous diffuserons en trois parties... avant de l'illustrer d'exemples animés ! Pour observer valablement le développement durable, identifier une bonne pratique et contribuer à son déploiement à l’échelle des territoires, il convient de recadrer le concept et même de lui redonner un sens trop souvent dévoyé, se limitant régulièrement soit à des approximations arrangeantes, soit à des non-sens particulièrement toxiques.Le Programme d’Observation du Développement Durable (PODD) mis en place par3D Territoiresetblog-territorial, en partenariat avec les acteurs des territoires, appuiera son travail sur une méthode d’analyse a priori, ainsi qu'une grille de lecture la plus pertinente possible.

These amazing pictures were taken by Anatoly Beloshchin in the cave Cenote Angelita, Mexico. Here’s his description: “We are 30 meters deep, fresh water, then 60 meters deep – salty water and under me I see a river, island and fallen leaves… Actually, the river, which you can see, is a layer of hydrogen sulphide.” Calvin and Hobbes Snow Art Gallery Snow Art in ColourSend Calvin and Hobbes Postcards Online!
