International Space Station Tour-HD


Not often things I find blow me away, but this did, the quality of seeing Earth from space, absolutely amazing.

Unsold Cars












I am happy today, I picked up my new car yesterday, but now I am reminded of the economic climate, can I really afford to run a car? Lovely photographs, I want to go out and take some of my own. I feel sad, that this is all rusting. This seams to be the biggest problem with industry, making more than we need to supply on demand. Link to original article

We Feel Fine


I love this web art project 'We Feel Fine' a beautiful and inspired project that maps human emotions. This is old news now, shown to me by Helen a media student a few years ago now student. It stuck in my mind as I was reading a book on small world theory. I feel visualizing the social network will follow along the same lines. The creator Jonathan Harris has done a interesting talk on TED.
I have decided to blog about this now because I am doing some research in visualising the value of reach, and I dug about my old links and found an old link by The Logic and Emotion Blog Influence Ripples
"I feel there is a connection" will that get absorbed in to the project? I hope so.

I also really like David Armano's Flickr L+E Visual Thinking Archive
