1958-era Disney Predicts Transportation's Future « Ablestmage.com - 1 views

  • 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 ^_^

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.

Tub-E bathtub adds automation and style to your bathing ritual | DVICE - 1 views

    Tub-E bathtub adds automation and style to your bathing ritual Does anyone still take baths these days? While the speed and efficiency of a quick shower is hard to beat, there is something to be said for a long soothing hot soak in the tub. I'm just not sure I'd want to do it in the Tub-E. Looking like a triumph of form over function, the undeniably cool looking Tub-E includes several high tech functions to make your bath time a bit more luxurious. A thermostatically controlled heater under the seat keeps the water at a constant temperature, so you won't be adding hot water to reheat the water every few minutes. Add to that its auto fill, auto empty, and auto clean cycles, plus the ability to inject various bath oils during the fill process, and you certainly have a few improvements over the centuries old basic tub. My main issue is that it just looks incredibly uncomfortable. The Tub-E is available from Wild Terrain Designs. No word on the price."

100 incredible and educational virtual tours « Bits & Pieces - 1 views

  • One of the wonders of the Internet is that it can bring the world to you instead of you needing to find the time and money to explore the traditional way. Explore cities, famous landmarks and buildings, museums, college campuses, and even outer space. You can learn how things are made, explore the human body or that of a life-sized whale, and visit ball parks and theme parks. 100 Incredible And Educational Virtual Tours.

    Love this! This is going to be one of the ways forward as traditional universities lose their grip on student's imaginations!

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.

4of7 architecture: pediatric clinic, east africa - 1 views

  • the idea behind the modular configuration is to define a spatial solution which would be able to grow and adapt according to the changing need; or according to varied conditions at different locations. notionally, if more and more modules were to be added, the clinic facilities could grow infinitely but always confined the circular matrix, defined by three differently sized courtyards.

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.

Evri Ties the Knot with Twine - Twine CEO Comments and Analysis « Nova Spivac... - 0 views

  • Evri Ties the Knot with Twine — Twine CEO Comments and Analysis March 11th, 2010  Share Today I am pleased to announce that my company, Radar Networks, and its flagship product, Twine, have been acquired by Evri. TechCrunch broke the story here. This acquisition consolidates the two leading providers of semantic discovery and search. It is also the culmination of my long and challenging venture to pioneer the adoption of the consumer Semantic Web.
  • The Twine team is joining Evri to continue our work there. Twine.com’s data and users are safe and sound and will be transitioned into the Evri.com service over time. This process will be done in a manner that protects privacy and data, and is minimally disruptive. I have great faith in the team at Evri and believe they will handle this with great care and respect for the Twine community.
  • Twine was well-received by the press and early-adopter users.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • At the time of beta launch and for almost six months after, Twine was still very much a work in progress. Fortunately our users and the press were fairly forgiving as we worked through evolving the GUI and feature set from what was initially just slightly better than an alpha site to the highly refined and graphical UI we have today. During these early days of Twine.com we were fortunate to have a devoted user-base and this became a thriving community of power-users who really helped us to refine the product and develop great content within it.
  • These losses meant we could no longer create compelling content or to manage the Twine community. So we put Twine.com on auto-pilot and let the traffic fall off. While painful to watch, this at least had the benefit of reducing the pressure to scale the system and support it under load, giving us time to focus all our energy on getting T2 finished and raising more funds.

    no direct mentions, but at least some recongition

box vox: Packaging Signs - 0 views

    "2889654402_d20acdae3a_b A sardine-can-shaped sign from vw4y's Flickr Photostream While looking for cross-categorical, sardine-can-shaped packs, I happened upon this sardine-can sign. Which reminded me that I had, for some time, been planning to eventually feature a round-up of package shaped signs. (See below) Similar to the architectural "roadside packaging" and the "packaged water towers." With these packages, however, there's no secondary function, aside from just being rather attention-getting signs."
