Carlsbad Caverns National Park. Location: New Mexico Established: May 14, 1930 Size: 46,766 acres The Chihuahuan Desert, studded with spiky plants and lizards, offers little hint that what Will Rogers called the "Grand Canyon with a roof on it" waits underground. Yet, at this desert's northern reaches, underneath the Guadalupe Mountains, lies one of the deepest, largest, and most ornate caverns ever found. Water molded this underworld four to six million years ago. Cave scientists have explored more than 30 miles (48 kilometers) of passageways of the main cavern of Carlsbad, and investigation continues. Some visitors think the park's most spectacular sight is the one seen at the cave's mouth.
How to Get There The park is off US 62/180, 20 miles southwest of Carlsbad and 164 miles east of El Paso, Texas. When to Go Year-round. How to Visit One full day allows you time to tour the main cavern and take a nature walk or a drive before watching the bats fly at sunset. Zion National Park. Location: Utah Established: November 19, 1919 Size: 148,733 acres Rising in Utah's high plateau country, the Virgin River carves its way to the desert below through a gorge so deep and narrow that sunlight rarely penetrates to the bottom. As the canyon widens, the river runs a gantlet of great palisade walls rimmed with slickrock peaks and hanging valleys. A million years of flowing water has cut through the red and white beds of Navajo sandstone that form the sheer walls of Zion. The geologic heart of the canyon began as a vast desert millions of years ago; almost incessant winds blew one dune on top of another until the sands reached a depth of more than 2,000 feet.
You can still see the track of these ancient winds in the graceful crossbedded strata of Zion's mighty cliffs. Unlike the Grand Canyon where you stand on the rim and look out, Zion Canyon is usually viewed from the bottom looking up. Within the park's 232 square miles lies a landscape of remote terraces and narrow gorges. Geekologie - Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome. NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC’S CARTOGRAPHIC TYPEFACES. Our maps have long been known for their distinctive typefaces. But few outside the Society know little of the history that lies behind them. Until the early 1930s, most of our maps were hand- lettered—a slow and tedious process requiring great patience and even greater skill. An alternate process—that of setting names in movable type, pulling an impression on gummed paper that was then pasted down on the map—often yielded less than durable or clearly readable type.

We Copy Like We Breathe: Cory Doctorow's SIGGRAPH 2011 Keynote.
When Cory Doctorow started his Keynote speech at this year's SIGGRAPH conference he started bravely by granting the audience "unequivocal permission to record video, audio, and to use those recordings ... in all media now known or yet to be invented throughout the known universe. " This past Wednesday, two days after the speech, the Keynote was available on YouTube.
In the speech, Doctorow, co-editor of Boing Boing, outlined copyright and digital rights management's current state of affairs by providing details and examples that took the conversation far beyond the typically polarized copyright debate that divides the analysis into two mutually exclusive parts - either bad or good. In warming up to a proposal of his own set of laws he outlined an important issue that affects those experimenting on multiple portable platforms such as the iPhone, iPad, Android, and other emerging devices.

Clay Shirky. Fifteen years ago, a research group called The Fraunhofer Institute announced a new digital format for compressing movie files. This wasn’t a terribly momentous invention, but it did have one interesting side effect: Fraunhofer also had to figure out how to compress the soundtrack. The result was the Motion Picture Experts Group Format 1, Audio Layer III , a format you know and love, though only by its acronym, MP3.
The recording industry concluded this new audio format would be no threat, because quality mattered most. Who would listen to an MP3 when they could buy a better-sounding CD at the record store? Then Napster launched, and quickly became the fastest-growing piece of software in history. The industry sued Napster and won, and it collapsed even more suddenly than it had arisen. If Napster had only been about free access, control of legal distribution of music would then have returned the record labels. How did the recording industry win the battle but lose the war? Letter. My car radio broke. I turned it on and all I got was static. Now my friend Jeff says it’s because I started my car with the a/c on, but I’d never had a problem previously. And then I realized I could get FM, but the tuner skipped over Sirius, and on XM I got the aforementioned static. Yes, I have both in my car, it’s a legacy from when the outlets were different.
I haven’t had that spirit in my car since 2003, when I first got XM. Oh, I tried. And this was bad timing. But then I decided to drive to the car stereo place anyway, just for a reading, because the fact that the tuner just skipped over Sirius was so strange. Now you’ve got to know, car stereo places are going out of business in droves. Now, no way. So the place I go to, on Wilshire in Santa Monica, is now called Al & Ed’s. And when I got into the driveway, I called out for Robert, and he was still there! I mean it was a major installation. But that was about five years ago. And he started to smile.
