The projection used for this world map, also known as the "Dymaxion Map," was created by Buckminster Fuller, distinguished mathematician, inventor and 20th century visionary. The map began as a sketch,
Well, most of the work is done by Earthdesk and GeekTool 3.
Earthdesk is set to Natural Color, Equirectangular projection, Natural Color, Real Moonlight, centered on Vienna, Background: Starfield. Zoom 80%, Clouds 80%, Brightness 80%.
In GeekTool, the times and the weathers are all separate Shell "geeklets".
Times are generated by running shell commands like
env TZ=Asia/Tokyo date " %l:%M %p"
every 20 seconds
The weather is the tricky part. The way I am doing it now, if I am not careful, gets me throttled for too many concurrent requests to the wunderground.com API server. It also fails badly if I am disconnected, so I will need to do it differently.
FWIW: I have a PHP script which I run as separate Shell Geeklets. I invoke it with the name of the city I want. It then hits wunderground and gets back an XML stream of the local weather, which I parse, format and echo. (the way I'd change this is run the script from cron, with a 30 second wait between requests, and cache the results locally, which I would then call from the Shell Geeklets)
From there it's just a question of setting fonts, sizes, colors and moving the little Geeklet boxes around as you want them.

GeographicLib is a small set of C classes for performing conversions between geographic, UTM, UPS, MGRS, geocentric, and local cartesian coordinates and for solving geodesic problems. The emphasis is on returning accurate results with errors close to round-off (about 5–15 nm). In addition, various properties of the Transverse Mercator Projection are described and an accurate algorithm for Geodesics on the Ellipsoid is given.
Tutorials to help you understand the various projection and coordinate systems. Also find conversion tools to convert datasets from one system to another.

Les chiffres sont de moindre ampleur mais la tendance demeure : le nombre de demandeurs d’emploi ne cesse d’augmenter dans l’Hexagone. Selon nos projection, plus de 4,8% des 500 000 informaticiens sont désormais concernés. Les SSII tentent de conserver leurs effectifs mais les amortisseurs n’auront qu’un temps et la rentrée de septembre risque d’être difficile.
I’m going to tell you a little bit about the influences on Here & There, a project about representation of urban places, from when it began. It was warmly received when I first presented some corners of it back at Design Engaged in 2004, before Schulze & Webb existed. Here & There is a projection drawing from maps, comics, television, and games.
This particular version is a horizonless projection in Manhattan. The project page is here, where large prints of the uptown and downtown views can be seen and are available to buy.
Selon une projection réalisée par la London School of Economics et le Trinity College de Dublin, le Parti Pirate suédois pourrait obtenir 8,5 % des voix aux élections européennes du 7 juin prochain, ce qui lui permettrait d'obtenir deux sièges au Parlement européen.
Here & There is a project by S&W exploring speculative projections of dense cities. These maps of Manhattan look uptown from 3rd and 7th, and downtown from 3rd and 35th. They're intended to be seen at those same places, putting the viewer simultaneously above the city and in it where she stands, both looking down and looking forward.

It is intended to be used for screencasts or overhead projection, to emphasize what keystrokes need to be pressed when performing an action within an application.

Gestido works under the artist name Molotroko and it is not entirely surprising that his academic research is on computer vision. Through the Looking-Glass... employs cameras, mirrors and anamorphic projection to generate "virtual windows" in opaque walls.
This is perfectly reasonable SQL. Oracle should support it.
