NCDOT: I-40 Rock Slide News & Information - 1 views

  • This video provides a view of the I-40 rockslide project set in the geographic terrain of the Pisgah National Forest. The video begins with a view of Interstate 40 as it winds along the Pigeon River gorge, shows the rockslide happening, shows rock debris being hauled away last month, and then ends with an illustration showing where steel rock bolts will be installed to shore up the mountainside.

  •  
    This rockslide along I-40 west of Asheville NC has caused several months worth of transportation delays as this narrow mountain pass is a primary East-West route. Travellers and truckers have been forced to make a 3-5 hour detour to get around this roadblock into Tennessee. Construction continues to clear the debris and shore up the cliff-face, but it is taking a long time to complete.

  • This short Disney segment, Magic Highway USA from the Disneyland TV show, throws around some ideas about how people will get around in the future. Some of them look a little more like something that might happen in 2200 AD perhaps, but it doesn’t really set a date necessarily ^_^

The Price of Apple MacBook Pros Around the World - Macbook pro prices - Gizmodo - 1 views

  • Brazil is one of my favorite countries. Cool people, great music, heavenly beaches, and caipirinhas. But if you have to buy a Mac, you are screwed. And like this graphic shows, it's the same in other places in the world. Brazil wins, however: The price of one MacBook Pro 17" there buys you two identical models in the US. It's the same with other Apple products, so if you can't live without your Apple fix, you better move to another country. I'd take the caipirinhas and the beaches, thank you very much.
  •  
    and this is why the cult of mac will never take over the world.

Sketchpad in HTML5: Why Flash is no longer relevant - 1 views

  • Back in the old days when the Web was young the the solution to the problem of rich interaction with an online resource fell to Adobe’s Flash. Thanks to HTML5, however, the browser does all the business and in a way that is open and accessible to all. Case in point: Sketchpad. I can’t embed it here, but feel free to check it out with any major new browser and report back how amazing it is. Go ahead and check it and let me know what you think. As you see loading is instantaneous and the ability to create rich interfaces all within the browser is amazing. I’m sold.
