Cyberspace is all connected, as is, maybe, everything. A lovely esoteric field of exploration through the relationships, there are people who have made some lovely tools to visualise these relationships.

Exploring the earth and space

Posted in April 22, 2005 ¬ 13:35h.Robin1 Comment »

So there’s a whole wealth of available resources to see our planet and the solar system out there – either online or as a downloadable application. These programmes allow you to track hurricanes, cloud cover, global temperature, zoom in to varying degrees etc.

The Earth and Moon viewer is webbased and has some interesting composites

Keyhole can zoom in using satellite images to really detailed levels

This online earth viewer has a whole load of options for satellite images of the earth and space

This is a nice application bound to an online database for 1 km resolution of the earth

Earthquake 3D allows you to track earthquakes in realtime

The Infinite Universe Engine has some interesting screenshots of landscapes and really close terrain for the earth, but also other planets (a graduate project!)

NASA’s World Wind allows you to zoom in impressively from satellite pictures

The Earth Browser is good at showing cloud cover, hurricanes, bouys, webcams etc al updated from Internet as an application with a huge database of earth city locations

This is another impressive link list of terrain mapping tools (and much more information on the homepage

Of course there’s that huge 3d Solar System explorer, but I can’t find the link to that anymore – anyone? 🙂

Wireless PSP house control hacks

Posted in April 21, 2005 ¬ 15:21h.RobinNo Comments »

This howto shows how you can control your entire house (music, lighting, TV, stereo, DVD player, etc) using a PSP.

Unfortunately this thing is based around a really cool piece of machinery, the WACI, pricing starts at $579,-

And whilst we’re doing this, we might as well replace our light switches with battery free wireless versions.

Faster cars crash less

Posted in April 18, 2005 ¬ 18:38h.RobinNo Comments »

I always knew my driving habits were safe!

according to an analysis of more than 12 million passenger cars insured by Progressive, the third-largest auto insurer in the United States.

It found cars with more than 200 horsepower actually generate 17 per cent fewer claims than those propelled by less than 200 horsepower.

US sent banned corn to Europe for four years

Posted in April 18, 2005 ¬ 15:43h.MichielNo Comments »

.. and how long has the current (aggressively pro-GM) US President been in office again? Since 01/2001 .. you do the math ..

All imports of United States corn have been stopped at British ports following the discovery that the US has been illegally exporting a banned GM maize to Europe for the past four years.
