Barcode Yourself by Scott Blake Barcode Yourself is a complete, interactive experience in the series of barcode art, created using the personalized data of participants. Enter an individual's gender, weight, height, age and location, and the barcode is formed using real-world data. The individualized barcode can then be printed, mapped, scanned, even depicted on a t-shirt or coffee mug. Uber-geeks can even test out their barcodes on their next grocery run. It is in scanning a barcode that the project reveals its humor, like a banner that reads: Disclaimer! Human beings are not merely worth somewhere between one cent and 10 dollars. It is here, within the confines of an American obsession with "worth," in which the fun begins. The data entered into Barcode Yourself takes a topsy-turvy twist to its personalized end numbers, with the exception of the hard-data that correlates with "location," which tallies up in the Gross Domestic Product of each country.

La increíble fotografía de una secuoya Realizada por encargo de National Geographic al fotógrafo Michael Nichols, esta espectacular fotografía completa de una secuoya gigante de 1500 años de antigüedad es una inmensa composición de 84 imágenes. Para conseguirla Nichols pasó un año entero en los bosques californianos del Parque Nacional Redwood, un lugar donde gastó 3 pares de zapatillas caminando entre gigantes. Necesitó tres cámaras, un equipo de investigadores y científicos, un robot, un giroscopio y un montón de paciencia. Y aunque quizás la foto no sea la del árbol más alto del mundo sin duda es un impresionante mosaico fotográfico de estos gigantes de la naturaleza. Aquí puedes ver un maravilloso vídeo de la serie documental 'Las fotos más increíbles de NatGeo' de como se logró fotografiar este coloso:

most beautiful river on earth Cano Cristales - Crystal River. River of five colors, as the locals call it, originates in the south of the mountain chain Macarena, Colombia, and flows eastward to its confluence with the Guayabero river. In the Cano Cristales found five colors: yellow, blue, green, black and red. All of them are waste product of many algae and, depending on time of year, color saturation, or weakened or strengthened. Share on Tumblr DJ Tips I strongly recommend a mix of both. Every group of dancers is different, so this isn't an absolute rule, but most dancers prefer a mixture of familiar favorites and new music. Everyone has their favorite tunes that make them happy. And people love having a chance to dance to popular tunes they've heard. Then new music is always exciting for most people, including the experienced dancers, so also include those in your mix. DJ's more often err on the side of not enough familiar favorites (or worse, none). This recommendation is specifically for social dance music.
Treehotel...Sleep in Nature! The Mirror cubePhoto © Peter Lundstrom, WDO | Treehotel In a heavily wooded country like Sweden, it comes as no surprise when one comes across a hotel deep in the forest. However, the Treehotel is something beyond the ordinary. Designed by some of Scandinavia’s leading architects such as Martin Videgård and Bolle Tham as well as Mårten & Gustav Cyrén, the hotel promises to reconnect its guests with nature.

Wind Map An invisible, ancient source of energy surrounds us—energy that powered the first explorations of the world, and that may be a key to the future. This map shows you the delicate tracery of wind flowing over the US. The wind map is a personal art project, not associated with any company. We've done our best to make this as accurate as possible, but can't make any guarantees about the correctness of the data or our software. Please do not use the map or its data to fly a plane, sail a boat, or fight wildfires :-) If the map is missing or seems slow, we recommend the latest Chrome browser. Surface wind data comes from the National Digital Forecast Database. If you're looking for a weather map, or just want more detail on the weather today, see these more traditional maps of temperature and wind.
Greenest Countries The Environmental Performance Index (EPI) is a method of measuring the performance of national governments related to environmental policies. Yale University and Columbia University release the EPI every year during the World Economic Forum, ranking 163 countries according to 25 indicators. The final mark shows how close the country is to accomplish the environmental goals. Here are the top ten green countries on the list which have made most, officially the greenest in the world. 1. www.metrolic.com Iceland is considered to be one of the world’s most beautiful countries because of the breathtaking nature, but they can still enjoy that due to the high level of accomplishing the environmental policy goals. 2. Switzerland was leading the EPI list years ago, but now has fallen to the second place just due to incredible Iceland performance. 3. www.thundafunda.com Costa Rica government is strongly committed to following the Icelandic example for use of renewable energy sources. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Cinco minutos de la Tierra vista desde la Estación Espacial Internacional Una de las cosas que nos comentó Douglas Wheelock (@astro_Wheels) a los que tuvimos la oportunidad de participar en el TweetUp que organizó la NASA con el motivo del lanzamiento del Atlantis en la última misión de los transbordadores espaciales fue el esfuerzo que tienen que hacer durante los paseos espaciales para concentrarse en el trabajo que tienen que hacer y no quedarse embobados mirando para la Tierra. Y la verdad es que viendo este vídeo es perfectamente comprensible: Earth | Time Lapse View from Space, Fly Over | NASA, ISS por Michael König en Vimeo. Se trata de un time lapse montado por Michael König a partir de fotos tomadas por los miembros de las Expediciones 28 y 29 a la Estación Espacial Internacional entre agosto y octubre de este año, convenientemente procesadas por él. Absolutamente impresionante, para ver a pantalla completa y con las luces bajitas. (Gracias por avisar, José Luis y Alfonso).
