CouchDB Implements a Fundamental Algorithm : Daytime Running Lights

by karlcow

We're seeing a lot of action in the key/value map/reduce world lately. On the one hand this is because simpler stuff scales more simply, and on the other because key/value and B-Tree stores map cleanly to some fundamental algorithms.

[FoRK] Programming languages, operating systems, despair and anger

by karlcow & 1 other , 3 comments

And so for 20 years now these folks --- *the* shining lights, in many ways, of "practical" programming language, operating systems, and general systems research --- have continued to fail to "get" the fundamental practical needs of everyday programmers working in The Real World.

LIFEFLIX: Backyard Accessories

by blackgoldfish (via)
We also need more lighting out in the back and although tea lights won't solve that issue, I've always loved the way hanging glass jars look.

Milk Bottle LED Lights, Arduino Controlled

by karlcow

Make PPE milk bottles into good looking LED lights, and use an Arduino to control them. This recycles a number of things, mainly the milk bottles, and uses a very low amount of power: the LEDs apparently dissipate less than 3 watts but are bright enough to see by!

beauty, romance and simplicity

by blackgoldfish
I particularly love the way this photograph encapsulates what Polaroid photography is all about - capturing the moment in an instant. Most wedding photography is a major production of lights, fancy cameras and sweat; to me this Polaroid shot captures the intimacy of their wedding day so much better.

Strobist: Is That a Soft Box in Your Pocket or Are You Just Happy to See Me?

by sbrothier (via)
The LED lights that come built-in to our cell phone cameras are generally useless. But not so the lights built into the cell phone screens themselves. I am pretty much married to my iPhone now. Well, maybe not technically, but we are sleeping together. I am a huge fan of the BBC podcasts: Global News, Business Daily, FOOC, etc., and listen as I fall asleep.

The Ultimate Dinosaur Toy

by cryogenius 1 comment (via)
The pre-historic world comes roaring to life with the Spike the Ultra Dinosaur, an Imaginext toy from Fisher-Price. Flashing lights, blinking eyes, and grunting dino speak make this big, green remote-control dinosaur a fun companion for adventurous play.

Arduino

by rmaltete & 7 others
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators. The microcontroller on the board is programmed using the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino development environment (based on Processing). Arduino projects can be stand-alone or they can communicate with software on running on a computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP). The boards can be built by hand or purchased preassembled; the software can be downloaded for free. The hardware reference designs (CAD files) are available under an open-source license, you are free to adapt them to your needs. Arduino received an Honory Mention in the Digital Communities section of the 2006 Ars Electronica Prix.

Eskay All Day

by marco
Hip-hop hopefuls used to pass through the pages of The Source, XXL and maybe even this magazine on their way to big budget videos and bright lights. Today, rappers go nowhere unless Eskay says so.

Google LatLong: Tip of the week: Postcards from Google Earth

by karlcow

Let's say you are on vacation in Paris and you want your friends to be able to see and interact with all the beautiful sights of the City of Lights. A regular postcard is good, but you know you can do better. So open up Google Earth, search for 'Eiffel Tower', find your favorite view of the monument and voilà, you're ready to send a virtual postcard. You decide the best view of the Eiffel Tower is this one:

Cela me rappelle les cartes postales reçues de membres de la famille, avec l'hotel où ils sont allés et un cercle autour de la fenêtre et l'inscription (notre chambre ici), une necéssité de géolocaliser l'humain dans le carré de la photographie.

Flickr Co-founders Join Mass Exodus From Yahoo

by sbrothier & 1 other , 1 comment
Photo sharing site Flickr is one of the leading lights of Yahoo - but cofounders (and husband/wife team) Caterina Fake and Stewart Butterfield won’t be around to keep driving the product forward. They are both joining the mass exodus of executives from the company.

London Lights – welovelocal Blog

by greut (via)

I made these videos using Processing, a Java-based language, to make these data visualization videos of welovelocal’s London reviews over time. They span from the start of welovelocal to January 29th, 2008. The colour of each dot represents the rating of each review with red being 1 star and green being 5 stars.

very nice visualizations of rating of the time, mostly green though.
