Welcome to the University of iTunesdelicious LONDON, England (CNN) -- The wisdom of business professors, once only available to MBAs and business students, can now be accessed by anybody with an Internet connection. At HEC Paris, MBA students are given an iPod Touch so they can download podcasts of lectures. Hundreds of universities, and a growing number of business schools, are making recordings of lectures, seminars and conferences available to the general public via Web sites such as iTunes and YouTube. Leading business schools including University of Cambridge Judge Business School, Fuqua School of Business, and Yale School of Management make course content available for download through iTunes University (iTunes U), part of the of the iTunes online store. That means those whose budget won't stretch to a two-year MBA can simulate the experience at home -- or at work, in the gym or anywhere else they choose.
BIGADDICT - StumbleUpon "Panic Room" by Tilt Hôtel "Au vieux panier" Tilt featuring Tober / Grizz / Don ChoMarseille January 2012graffitilt.comauvieuxpanier.com Blick Premier Gallery 1-1/2" Profile Cotton Canvas 1) The corners are cut so there is an exposed lap at each corner. The cut goes to the very edge of the front of the canvas. That is a little unsightly, but more importantly if you needed to re-stretch onto a new or higher grade stretcher for a collector you would almost certainly have to use a smaller stretcher and lose part of the original painting.
Glasses With HUDs Just Became A Little More Affordable Remember seeing those futuristic looking heads-up displays that soldiers and, well, Iron Man gets to have fun with? Well, Olympus and NTT Docomo are planning to bring something like that to consumers who have lost their way with AR Walker. It’s a pair of glasses, a smart phone, and a retina display all combined in one package to enable the user to acquire information in their peripheral vision. In other words, it blasts images and text to one of the user’s eyes without having the user become distracted and run head-first into a wall (as always, safety first). AR Walker has an acceleration sensor and direction sensor, and it provides information that is relevant to your location and situation. Think Google Maps for people without any sense of direction (that would me be).

The term ‘geek’, once used to label a circus freak, has morphed in meaning over the years. What was once an unusual profession transferred into a word indicating social awkwardness. As time has gone on, the word has yet again morphed to indicate a new type of individual: someone who is obsessive over one (or more) particular subjects, whether it be science, photography, electronics, computers, media, or any other field. A geek is one who isn’t satisfied knowing only the surface facts, but instead has a visceral desire to learn everything possible about a particular subject. A techie geek is usually one who knows a little about everything, and is thus the person family and friends turn to whenever they have a question.
Carved Book Landscapes by Guy Laramee (click images for detail) For the better part of three decades multidisciplinary artist Guy Laramee has worked as a stage writer, director, composer, a fabricator of musical instruments, a singer, sculptor, painter and writer.

Of these works he says: So I carve landscapes out of books and I paint Romantic landscapes. Mountains of disused knowledge return to what they really are: mountains.
