Coffee-table Computer

Lately, I've been checking out all the cool technology coming out. This is one of the better things. Watch that video.

Photosynth Demo

From the TED website:
"Using photos of oft-snapped subjects (like Notre Dame) scraped from around the Web, Photosynth creates breathtaking multidimensional spaces with zoom and navigation features that outstrip all expectation. Its architect, Blaise Aguera y Arcas, shows it off in this standing-ovation demo. Curious about that speck in corner? Dive into a freefall and watch as the speck becomes a gargoyle. With an unpleasant grimace. And an ant-sized chip in its lower left molar. "Perhaps the most amazing demo I've seen this year," wrote Ethan Zuckerman, after TED2007. Indeed, Photosynth might utterly transform the way we manipulate and experience digital images."

This idea is amazing.

Buffalo vs. Lion vs. Crocodile

One of the more amazing videos that I have seen in a while.

Ecological Footprint

Check out this link: www.myfootprint.org

It asks you a few questions and then determines your ecological footprint. It is pretty interesting.

For me, it said:

CATEGORY ACRES

FOOD 4

MOBILITY 1.7

SHELTER 7.2

GOODS/SERVICES 8.2

TOTAL FOOTPRINT 21



IN COMPARISON, THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS 24 ACRES PER PERSON.

WORLDWIDE, THERE EXIST 4.5 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE ACRES PER PERSON.

IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 4.7 PLANETS.


My ecological footprint is smaller than that of the average American, but 4.7 times bigger than it should be.
