10 Animation Blogs That Inform, Teach, & Inspire Wikipedia tells me that the first animation film was made way back in 1917. We perhaps link the history of animation more with Walt Disney. Even then, from the days of Snow White to today’s cutting edge CGI powered flicks like Avatar, the world of animation creates a fantasy bubble which lately adults too have found captivating. But what’s rendered on the screen takes hours of toil and painstaking detailing. Cartoon Brew This animation blog takes a look at the industry as a whole and covers animation news, views and lots of teasers too. ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive Currently, it has gone into a bit of a temporary limbo because of lack of funding, but this long-standing animation resource deserves a spot because it’s a rich source of historical information on animation. Animation World Network The Animation World Network is the largest animation-related publishing group on the Internet. TAG Blog Animated Views The informative animation site has a community and a cool contest corner.

Yellowstone Volcano: Is "the Beast" Building to a Violent Tantrum? StandardNET August 30, 2001 When the volcano in Yellowstone National Park blew 6,400 centuries ago, it obliterated a mountain range, felled herds of prehistoric camels hundreds of miles away and left a smoking hole in the ground the size of the Los Angeles Basin. Modern Yellowstone doesn't dwell on its cataclysmic past—or its potential for another monster eruption. Rangers tell people to keep their distance from bison and steaming geysers. "This is a geologic park, and not many know it," said Robert Smith, a geophysicist at the University of Utah who has spent his career piecing together the story of the Yellowstone volcano. New sensors have allowed researchers to confirm a suspicion that Smith has held for a long time: that the ancient volcano scientists dub "the beast" is a living force. Stepped-Up Monitoring This summer, Yellowstone was added to the nation's handful of official volcano observatories. It's just too big.
Creepy Gmail Welcome to GeoWind GeoWind is an open source GIS platform that integrates OGC as implemented in GeoTools within NASA's WorldWind The vision of this effort is the creation of an open geospatial system that enables the scientific modeling process to be closer to a 'real world' experience. Some of the planned and anticipated use cases are querying and mapping available data for modeling problems using OGC web services, stepwise delineation of model parameter, embedded execution of an environmental model and its direct mapping of state variables into a world view, or simply the mapping of spatial/temporal model results in a realistic way that was never possible in the past. GeoWind leverages the following technologies: A Geotools/Worldwind integration library and an API that allows the adaptation of simulation models or modeling frameworks such as OMS. GeoWind is in early development! Feature Overview Resources Usage Note Many features such as saving/loading a view configuration are not implemented yet...
Exploring Weather Hurricanes Tornadoes Thunderstorms Floods Winter Storms Forecasting Little eco footprints: eco play I stumbled across a pile of plastic toys dumped in bushland a while back. The scene clearly illustrates one of the problems with cheap plastic toys. They never ever go away. Every molecule of synthetic plastic ever created is still in existence somewhere on the planet, unless it was incinerated. Long after plastic toys break (and sadly that’s often shortly after they were purchased) the plastic is still here. A few years ago Little Eco really wanted Santa to bring her a pink plastic battery operated toy cash register. Thankfully, Santa took the time to search for a safe, durable, ethically made timber cash register. This very loved toy is still in perfect condition three years later – and will last long enough to be played with by Little Eco's children and grandchildren or to be passed on to numerous other children. Choose quality over quantity when it comes to toys Before you head out for that last minute shopping spree, stop and consider the true cost of those cheap toys.
How to Memorize - Learn to memorize and increase memory If you are visiting from StumbleUpon and like this article and tool, please consider giving it a thumbs up. Thanks! Memorizing does not have to be as hard as most people make it. In this article we are going to focus on a technique that will let you easily: Memorize a speechMemorize the BibleMemorize linesMemorize Scripture At the end of this article is a Javascript tool that makes it easy to implement this method. Synapses and Neurons and How to Memorize In the simplified model of the brain in this discussion, we’ll be looking at neurons and synapses. When you remember something neurons fire signals down particular synapse pathways to other neurons which in turn fire signals to other neurons. Strong Pathways Synapses appear to exhibit plasticity. For example, consider remembering your home telephone number. Now consider a number that you will have trouble remembering. How to Memorize – Practice Recalling not Repeating This is the crucial concept of any type of memorization.
Search and Rescue Help Panels and Controls There are three panels in the application: The main graphics window. See Viewing Controls below for interaction controls. The Tracks panel, listing the currently loaded tracks and the points of the current track. Any field of the displayed track can be edited by double-clicking it and entering a new value. A menu bar and a tool bar located at the top of the window provide access to the application functions, tools and options. Menu bar description From left to right: File - provide options for managing tracks and downloading imagery and elevation data for a particular sector. Tool bar description Track managment - See Track Management. Track Management Loading and saving tracks To load a track from a local file either click on the 'folder' icon in the tool bar, or select the File->Open track file... menu option, or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-O.

Grathio Labs - worldwindrcp - World Wind Geo: A browser for the Geo Web Welcome to World Wind Geo: The Eclipse Geo browser. The Geospatial Web or Geoweb is a relatively new term that implies the merging of geographical (location-based) information with the abstract information that currently dominates the Internet. World Wind Geo is an experimental geo browser built on top of: World Wind Java SDK - : Allows developers to embed World Wind technology in their own applications. Eclipse - : Eclipse is an open source community whose projects are focused on building an open development platform comprised of extensible frameworks, tools and runtimes. Our goal is to close the gap between GIS & SIS (Scientific Information Systems) by incorporating low/med/hi resolution GIS datasets from multiple sources: NASA, MS Virtual Earth, and others with the java NetCDF library for plotting/subsetting capabilities of scientific data. World Wind Geo has the following fetaures: Interactive 3D navigation.
The Best Websites for Downloading and Playing Classic and New Text Adventure Games Before computers could handle graphical games, there were text adventure games. The games are interactive stories, so playing a text adventure game is like being part of a book in which you affect the story. Text adventure games are also referred to as “interactive fiction.” Interactive Fiction (IF) is actually a more accurate term for text adventure games, because these games can cover any topics, such as romances or comedies, not just adventures. Even though computers can now handle intensely graphical games, playing text adventure games can still be fun. We’ve collected some links to websites where you can download classic and new text adventure games or play them online.
