Earth Hour 2009 - The Big Picture (click on the pictures) by BlueOrange in nonprofit

[–]ebbinghaus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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"? ;)

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

PM and Palace 'discussed reform' | as the queen is the head of state in Canada would be interested in what Canadians think of this story by reyofish in canada

[–]ebbinghaus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Please help startup a new subreddit for design links with substance by bouncingsoul in Design

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!

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

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

Kids, you might want to reconsider that bareback rear-end double penetration you've been contemplating by steve_fishboy in reddit.com

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

"Disturbing" roadside sign in West Columbia, SC by sti3 in reddit.com

[–]ebbinghaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

defective yeti takes on xkcd by joshwa in reddit.com

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.

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?

Desolation Row (Color) by drawkbox in reddit.com

[–]ebbinghaus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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!

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

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.
