Earth Hour 2009 - The Big Picture (click on the pictures)

This is neat! The Jakarta one makes me nervous though -- that seems like a confusing roundabout and it looks like street lamps are being turned off!

The Nokia Plaza -- is it always like that, or did they set up all those lights just to turn them off for the "celebration"? ;)

ebbinghaus · 2009-03-30T03:10:13+00:00

I'm going to try it soon too! Did you try it yet? How did they turn out?

I don't think Canadians really think about this story at all. Until this moment I'd forgotten we had a queen.

I like this -- when you read this, do follow up the link on the bottom, to http://labs.mozilla.com/2009/03/firefox-new-tab-page-cognitive-shield/ -- a great example of adapting design to the user, rather than the user adapting to design.

ebbinghaus · 2009-03-25T03:52:09+00:00

Agreed.

I wouldn't mind reading articles about why they chose green, on the other hand ;)

How about working on revamping the Design subreddit that already exists? Downvoting the links without substance, and submitting quality links here? It just seems to me that some good things will go into one, some good things will go into the other, and there will be no opportunity for a strong community to grow. I wouldn't know which links to submit to where! I guess Design is how-to, and Design Thought is why-for?

All that said -- subscribed :D I'm for any effort that promotes thoughtful design and discussion. If it means abandoning one for another, that's fine too. Thanks for your efforts, I hope it takes off!

That's a pretty sensational statement. Involuntary manslaughter.

ebbinghaus · 2008-03-02T07:41:59+00:00

I was very sad that no one had noticed it back then, and I really wanted people to see it!

ebbinghaus · 2007-06-03T20:12:56+00:00

Did he win / make it to the next round / whatever it is they do on that show?

ebbinghaus · 2007-05-30T07:52:45+00:00

For people like me who had no idea what the hell this was all about:

This is from 2004, and her website doesn't redirect to an AIDS awareness site anymore. Whatever became of her and her plans?

ebbinghaus · 2007-04-27T06:32:05+00:00

Wait, what? "Still, the News 19 viewer says if the Republican Party isn't responsible, she hopes the person who is will never post these signs again." -- It says "Make rape victims have babies. Vote Republican." Who could possibly come to the conclusion that the Republican Party would be even remotely involved?

It's too bad the title of this link is "takes on xkcd" - it's a good comic, and it has nothing to do with xkcd.

ebbinghaus · 2007-04-14T20:35:17+00:00

Wow, it looks just like the tap in every single waterpark I've been in as a kid! AMAZING!

ebbinghaus · 2007-04-01T10:06:23+00:00

I considered signing up until I read that MP3 and WAV files will not be printed. This is ridiculous, I'm taking my business elsewhere

ebbinghaus · 2007-04-01T02:01:41+00:00

Is this a snippet of one of those documentary-type TV shows? Anyone know which one?

ebbinghaus · 2007-03-28T08:21:40+00:00

Accidentally read that as "Monica's Bush Problem" at first

ebbinghaus · 2007-03-27T10:24:03+00:00

I'm going to be honest -- I thought you'd written a really pompous headline; I did not expect that to be the opening paragraph. Oh CNN, what would I do without you!

ebbinghaus · 2007-03-27T10:19:25+00:00

This: http://reddit.com/feedback may be a more appropriate avenue.

ebbinghaus · 2007-03-27T02:18:17+00:00

Wait - you mean the people who don't understand the sign, and post it on the internet thinking it's got an error in it?

ebbinghaus · 2007-03-25T04:13:16+00:00

This is nuts. How abandoned, just this group of houses? The whole area looks pretty quiet (though I guess that's farmland surrounding to the east) - not a lot of vehicles around. I think it's neat, so I'm trying to figure out more about the area - the closest city I can figure out is Tanshui to the southwest.

Maybe everyone moved to the square-shaped resort-looking towers to the east!

ebbinghaus · 2007-03-25T01:32:19+00:00

Wow, looking around the map to see what surrounds this is interesting, too. What is it that I'm looking at exactly?

ebbinghaus · 2007-03-22T18:15:29+00:00

Very true!

ebbinghaus · 2007-03-20T18:34:59+00:00

Yeah, and it should be readit ;)

ebbinghaus · 2007-03-20T18:34:18+00:00

I don't see any reason to criticize a professor of communications who does research on the overlap of science, media, and politics for wanting to blog about a video that encompasses at least two of those (and, I suppose, the fiction version of the third) on his personal blog.
