The Story of Stuff

"From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever."

Khronos Projector

"[a video time-warping machine with a tangible deformable screen]"

http://www.k2.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/members/alvaro/Khronos/Khronos_Projector.html

"The Khronos Projector is an interactive-art installation allowing people to explore pre-recorded movie content in an entirely new way. A classic video-tape allows a simple control of the reproducing process (stop, backward, forward, and elementary control on the reproduction speed). Modern digital players add little more than the possibility to perform random temporal jumps between image frames.

The goal of the Khronos Projector is to go beyond these forms of exclusive temporal control, by giving the user an entirely new dimension to play with: by touching the projection screen, the user is able to send parts of the image forward or backwards in time. By actually touching a deformable projection screen, shaking it or curling it, separate "islands of time" as well as "temporal waves" are created within the visible frame. This is done by interactively reshaping a two-dimensional spatio-temporal surface that "cuts" the spatio-temporal volume of data generated by a movie. "

Tufts Open Courseware - Blender 3D Design

"In this course we will explore basic mesh modeling, applying textures and materials to 3-D objects, lighting, animation and rendering. This course should provide a good basis for further independent study in architectural, engineering, and theatrical modeling and game design. This course is self-paced, meaning that you can pick and choose the Learning Units, Video Tutorials or PDF tutorials as you see fit. The sequence of Learning Units are a suggested path of learning Blender but you are welcome to use this material in any way that suits your purposes."

Still shocking

"In the days when answerphones were machines that contained twin cassette decks, one for outgoing messages and the other for incoming I pushed the envelope a bit. I wrote a novel that consisted of chapters that when spoken would fit onto the 30 seconds of the outgoing tape. I created new episodes weekly. My phone line was jammed with fans ringing in to hear the next episode."

Peak renamed after Welsh princess

"A mountain has been renamed in honour of a Welsh princess who spent most of her life confined to a monastery. Carnedd Uchaf in the Ogwen Valley, Snowdonia, will become Carnedd Gwenllian following a campaign by the Princess Gwenllian Society.Her father Prince Llywelyn ap Gruffydd was killed in battle with Edward I in 1282 and Gwenllian was later captured and taken to a Lincolnshire monastery. "

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/north_west/8275729.stm


"The Society was founded to commemorate Gwenllian, the daughter of Llywelyn the last ruling Prince of Wales ("Llywelyn The Last"). After Llywelyn's death, the whole of Wales came under the control of King Edward I of England. Edward ordered Gwenllian, a 1-year old baby, to be imprisoned in an English convent so that she would not have children who might restore Welsh independence. There she remained until her death 53 years later."

Publishing Dharma: Struggle of A Passing Paradigm

"In the publishing world, pure dharma -- and here I mean translations of core texts, sutras, etc. -- doesn't make money: it loses money. It is a prestige item supported by sales from commentaries, pseudo-commentaries, new age pap, cookbooks, coffee table books, and what have you."
