Free yoga video everyday. Good looking, outdoor shoot. Free. I used the iTunes link and it worked well and downloaded fast via a cable modem.

Visualizing Digg

Digg is interesting

http://digg.com/

It's people putting up stories or links to stories. Then voting on whether they are interesting. The stories that get more votes or "diggs" get to the top of the pile aka the front page.

People have been curious as to how that math works exactly.

The makers of Digg created these facinating flash interfaces on the math of calculating the Diggs.

ova



Linda, I thought you might like these. Not as beautiful as your translucent work but the size differences are interesting.

lovely papers

Such exquisite paper sculptures. The link is to a nice slide show on Flickr. It's worth checking out the link just to see how nice the slide show feature is on Flickr.

the underwater behavior of humpback whales




Just really fun looking. I wonder what my behavior visualized would look like?

Rider Project


in new york in september...i'm in this show.

strange man

HEre is a wonderfully creepy and strange man. I am so interested in this intersection of science and magic and this guy seems to fit the bill along with F. A. Mesmer. What'da ya think?

"real" creepy



The artist's name is Ron Mueck. And his sculptures have the same sticky feeling that his last name does. Definitely creepy. But I kept thinking about them so I thought I'd go ahead and post it.

Family photographs themselves every year since 1976



On June 17th, every year, the family goes through a private ritual: "we photograph ourselves to stop a fleeting moment, the arrow of time passing by."

I love looking at this family change over time. Tim and I have to do this.

white diamond

I love what this guy is doing. He's really experimenting with curatorial space. It's a very thoughtful "doing" and not just discussing the notion of the experiment.

The Long Tail

http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.10/tail.html

This article from a few years ago seems to be all the buzz in the tech community. The author just published a book on the idea. It's a new economic model for commerce in the digital age. The idea is that there is just as much profit in selling small quantities of lots of items rather than selling huge quantities of a few items.

They Rule



It's a really interesting site that shows the connections between people and companies.

http://www.theyrule.net

I went into the menu that says "Load Maps." Then I chose "Popular" for a premade map. I liked a lot of them. The
Haliburton and the Media was interesting. So was Apple vs. Microsoft and 2004 election party supporters.

A few tips on this site: The scroll bars are in gray along the sides within the window. Right click (or Control Click for Macs) on people and tables to see more. Like other affiliations.

Interesting.
