      I'd like to hear what Prof. Burton would say about this list.  I don't know if Twilight is really a literary masterpiece worthy of #3.

      This is the author's blog about crowdsourcing, so this will give you relevant, up to date information.
  • Crowdsourcing: A Definition I like to use two definitions for crowdsourcing: The White Paper Version: Crowdsourcing is the act of taking a job traditionally performed by a designated agent (usually an employee) and outsourcing it to an undefined, generally large group of people in the form of an open call. The Soundbyte Version: The application of Open Source principles to fields outside of software.

    This site talks all about the color yellow and pulls an interesting quote from Wassily Kandinsky. I've listed it below: "A yellow circle will reveal a spreading movement outwards from the center which almost markedly approaches the spectator; a blue circle develops a concentric movement (like a snail hiding in its shell) and moves away from the spectator." --Wassily Kandinsky
  • Kristi Koerner on 28 Oct 10
     
    What about the use of the color yellow to represent cowardice and illness?

    Encyclopedia entry on "California". The entry on America said that more specific information was given under the different regions. I decided to look up California, since that was one of the regions the entry listed. This is quite an entertainging description of California and it makes me wonder what their sources were.

  • Over 13,000 exhibits were displayed and viewed by over 6,200,000 visitors to the exhibition.
  • The London Borough of Bromley, who own the park today, together with the Crystal Palace Foundation, have recently submitted an outline proposal the National Heritage Lottery Fund to restore much of the park to its former glory.
  • The Crystal Palace itself was destroyed by fire on  November 30th 1936, following which the area lost much of its focus and began to decline. But many of the most important events in the history of the Crystal Palace took place in the grounds, which retain much of their original overall layout today and are a Grade II listed historic park.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The park also contained unrivaled collections of statues, many of which were copies of great works from around the world, and a geological display which included a replica lead mine and the first attempts anywhere in the world to portray life-size restorations of extinct animals, including dinosaurs.
  • This "bigger and better" building was divided into a series of courts depicting the history of art and architecture from ancient Egypt through  the Renaissance, as well as exhibits from industry and the natural world.
  • The Crystal Palace was originally designed by Sir Joseph Paxton in only 10 days and was a huge iron goliath with over a million feet of glass.
  • The Great Exhibition of 1851 in London was conceived to symbolize this industrial, military and economic superiority of Great Britain.
