Gay Auto-Replace?
Posted by admin under gfurry
For those not into track and field, this weekend Tyson Gay set an American record in the 100 meters. Apparently certain news organizations have systems that automatically replace Gay with the more PC term homosexual. This is not always a good thing. Sometimes there is humor in progress

Running the Numbers
Posted by admin under gfurry
Amazing Photos by Chris Jordan.
From the site
Running the Numbers looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on. My hope is that images representing these quantities might have a different effect than the raw numbers alone, such as we find daily in articles and books. Statistics can feel abstract and anesthetizing, making it difficult to connect with and make meaning of 3.6 million SUV sales in one year, for example, or 2.3 million Americans in prison, or 32,000 breast augmentation surgeries in the U.S. every month.
This project visually examines these vast and bizarre measures of our society, in large intricately detailed prints assembled from thousands of smaller photographs. Employing themes such as the near versus the far, and the one versus the many, I hope to raise some questions about the role of the individual in a society that is increasingly enormous, incomprehensible, and overwhelming.

More than a 1000 words
Posted by admin under gfurry
I ran across this story at core77. A wired video takes a look at how the movie More than a 1000 words was filmed. Looks very cool. Now I just need to figure out where I can see the movie.

The 99K House
Posted by admin under gfurry
Take a look at this architecture competition in the gulf region. Some great designs for under 100K. I wonder how some of them would work in the midwest? Some of them seem like they would make very nice summer houses. Below is the winner and some of the finalists. The web site has the full pdfs for the finalist. Scrolling required unless you have a 30″ monitor.

Cool chart. Interesting results
Posted by admin under gfurry
NYTimes has a really cool chart of how people voted in the battle of Obama versus Clinton. I never really thought of it as a race issue because the vocal folks in the tech space seem to be white males for Obama. The chart says otherwise. Go see the chart for other stats
