As a sunset photo it was arleady beautiful.
The fishnets and the vanishing series of poles that support them give it another dimension, a guide to the sight. Superb.

Amazing. I’ve found 3 abandoned tube stations in my area.
A fascinating site with many pictures detailing disused and ‘lost’ stations on the London Underground Network.
All the World’s a Controller
Sunday, July 30, 2006
And I thought the Nintendo Wii would be this year Innovation in the gaming world.
This stuff reminds me the Sound Bug, a portable gadget that allow you to transform any plane surface into a loud speaker.
All the World’s a Controller: “Control Freaks are devices that attach to everyday objects, turning them into controllers for video games. When the Control Freak device clamps onto a host, sensors on the device can detect movement or vibration when the host object is manipulated. Watch a video where someone plays pacman by rolling in an office chair.” (Via digg.)
Windows for new Mac users, switching from Windows…
Sunday, July 30, 2006
It’s amazing what one can find in a bog amidst the midges Windows for new Mac users, switching from Windows…: “Windows users switching to Mac get confused with the shortcuts and little details of the new operation system. There are 10 tips in the form of shortcuts and tweaks that are presented in this bog. Better than searching the Internet for each solution separately, as they are gathered it together.” (Via digg / dig.)
Cats and ripples
Saturday, July 29, 2006
An interesting shot found on Flickr.
Beautiful and relaxing.
There’re many things going on here, the ripples, the shadows, the cats’ attitude and the plant in the left.
The texture of the wall looks very mediterranean (indeed it’s in Spain)
A great shot.
Faites voler les fenêtres

Wow! that’s a pretty cool screen-saver for Mac OS X.

Faites voler les fenêtres: “Nous donnons la parole à Vincent Zorzi.A l’origine du projet d’économiseur d’écran Fenêtres Volantes, et en tant que co-réalisateur du projet, je me permets d’attirer votre attention sur le fait que nous venons de rendre disponible au téléchargement une première version beta publique. Je vous laisse le soin de découvrir Fenêtres Volantes à l’adresse http://www.objective-cocoa.org/fenetresvolantes/ . Je tiens au passage à remercier objective-cocoa.org qui est à la fois support et souteneur du projet, mais également hébergeur du site de Fenêtre Volante.
Nous avons testé avec joie cet économiseur qui est réellement spectaculaire. La bêta semble stable et ne nous a pas posé de problème. En revanche, il semble très gourmand en ressources. Mais c’est tellement fun…

United States cedes control of the internet - but what now?

is it such a milestone?
United States cedes control of the internet - but what now?: “ In a meeting that will go down in internet history, the United States government last night conceded that it can no longer expect to maintain its position as the ultimate authority over the internet.… “ (Via The Register.)

That’s imaginative. A perfect example of the “thinking out of the box” principle

Interspecies love: duck and chicken raise a family
Tuesday, July 25, 2006
I don’t know what to think of that. That’s odd. Interspecies love: duck and chicken raise a family: “Mark Frauenfelder: A duck and a hen on a farm outside Söderköping have found each other. The duck is now a foster-father to five chickens. Annika Stenbäck and Peter Andersson, who live at the farm, tell the daily Norrköpings Tidningar about the love birds. The birds started dating already last summer, after the duck accidentally drowned his mate during lovemaking. However, the duck didn’t spend much time in mourning before starting to date the hen instead. Soon, the hen started laying and brooding, but as the eggs were not fertilized, they never hatched. ‘So we fetched some fertilized eggs from our old hens at my parents-in-law. She got six chickens, but one has died,’ says Annika Stenbäck. During the entire brooding period the duck kept a nervous watch by the hen’s side. ‘And since the chickens were hatched he hasn’t left her side,’ says Annika Stenbäck to Norrköpings Tidningar. “ (Via Boing Boing.)

Cursor kite
Monday, July 24, 2006
That’s so clever.
Any volunteer to create a “Are you sure you want to delete this cloud” button shaped kite?
Cursor kite: “David Pescovitz:
Tim Elverston’s Cursor kite is a very clever idea. From WindFire Designs:
Quad-line control, asymmetrical framing, invisible stainless fittings, and opposed-bow tensioning for the sail make this incredible kite look digitally pasted right into the sky.
