by sbrothier
Around ancient pools fed by thermal springs in Israel’s verdant Gan Hashlosha National Park, 11 of the men and women who have made some of the most compelling photographic images of the past 30 years are gathered to celebrate the final stages of a unique undertaking.

Over the last cou­ple of weeks, I’ve looked at avail­abil­ity of movies and TV shows that came out in the past year. But what about movies that came two years ago? Are those more avail­able today than they were a year ago? Let’s look at the data.

Kev, they released a BETA version that they didn’t even load on Windows. The MENU didn’t work. Not some advanced feature throwing a bug, the fucking MENU didn’t work. I can’t test our themes and software against that. Lets be honest mate, how did it get past their tester and release procedure? Oh, thats right, they dont have a Tester. They just load it on their MacBooks and presume it works for the other 95% of the world. It’s a fucking shambles, and clearly they’ve learnt nothing since the 3.0 fuck-up.

Tout est dit.

Predicting the Future of Computing - Interactive Feature - NYTimes.com

by sbrothier
Since no supercomputer can yet predict the future, we need your help. Readers are invited to make predictions and collaboratively edit this timeline, which is divided into three sections: a sampling of past advances, future predictions that you can push forward or backward in time (but not, of course, into the past), and a form for making and voting on predictions. The most prescient prophet might receive an iPad 2 in 2050. But if the past is any guide, this prediction will almost surely be wrong.

Winter Quilts on Vimeo

Create a cool wax seal with an engraved eagle — Tutorials — gimpusers.com

by bebs (via)
You maybe know this: In the very past important letters have been sealed using a so called wax seal. This is a hot wax drop on the opening of the envelope - then a seal ring containing the unique emblem of the empire was pressed on the wax to harden the wax. So the letter was secured from spys from now on - because any opening would have breached the original letter. This tutorial shows how to create such a wax seal in GIMP! Have fun ;)

Mototaxi Junket | The Adventurists

by karlcow

Individuals who have taken part in past Adventurists' adventures have been permanently disfigured, permanently disabled or even lost their life.  These adventures are not glorified holidays. They are unsupported adventures and so by their very nature extremely risky. You really are on your own.

Bricoleurbanism » Demolition of Tianjin’s old city

by karlcow

Mass demolition of old districts is something of a “normal” thing in China, but to people who imagine that the large-scale destruction of historic city centres is a thing of the relatively distant past, the fate of Tianjin’s old chinese city serves as a sobering case.

How To Steal Like An Artist (And 9 Other Things Nobody Told Me) - Austin Kleon

by srcmax
With some mobile web sites when visited on the iPhone, you may want to skip past the url bar (something I'm not sure if it's possible, or even worth doing on other mobiles). There's a simple solution to doing this, but doing it right is the real trick.
