Murmur Study | Christopher Baker

by karlcow

Murmur Study is a work-in-progress that examines the rise of micro-messaging technologies such as Twitter and Facebook Status Updates. One might describe these messages as a kind of digital small talk. But unlike water-cooler conversations, these fleeting thoughts are accumulated, archived and indexed digitally by corporations. While the future of these archives are still to be seen, the sheer volume of publicly accessible personal expression should give us pause.

InfraNet Lab » Blog Archive » Resource Hogs: Greening Prison Infrastructure

by karlcow

Prisons are perhaps the most resource-intensive institutional infrastructures. This is largely a function of the unique nature of the building typology, which requires continuous operation, high levels of lighting (for security) and water consumption (for the inmates). Moreover, prison cells that contain toilet fixtures are required to have exhaust venting, increasing heating and cooling loads and costs. With the number of prisons on the rise in the US, new green initiatives are being explored to offset these resource hogs.

My Workplace Sun Rise View

by macbros
This is one of the best things about going into work early in the morning. My work station has wall to wall windows and the following video will give you a taste of what I get to watch each morning. I heard the background music from someplace, but couldn’t remember where I heard it from, and since it was something that stuck in my head so easily, I re-created it in my Cakewalk Music Writing Software.

YouTube - The End of Cheap Oil and The Rise of the Scythe--2nd edition

by sbrothier
A 14-year-old girl with a scythe cutting circles around a tractor equipped with a mowing machine! Far-fetched? Today - perhaps. Tomorrow - the use of simple hand tools will make increasing sense in direct proportion to the rising costs, economic and otherwise, of operating oil-dependent machinery. Long live the power of human bodies! There is no trick photography in this video; it is a genuine documentary of the efficiency of this ecological tool, the scythe. Not all scythes are created equal, however, and many viewers may wonder how the heavy old scythe hanging in the shed could be used like the one in this video.
