A treasure trove of medical illustrations and photographs are now available under the creative commons license on Flickr from the National Museum of Health and Medicine
I am a massive fan of archive photography since I found the work of LARRY SULTAN & MIKE MANDEL "Evidence" I am looking forward to these images popping up all over the place.

I am Watching The Watchmen

I have just started reading the graphic novel, and I am blown away! I really like the subtle references to Einstein, and George Orwell among many other great thinkers. The book is full of coincidence, and I love coincidences. For example there is a a story how the book includes they story of Kitty Genovese, a woman that was killed out side her home in New York, where almost forty neighbors looked on and nobody called the cops. This was an influence in how Rorschach became. That is a very important story in The Tipping point by Malcolm Gladwell. If I were to recommend any books the first two would be The Watchmen and The Tipping Point.

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
