An amazing Installation demo from MIT

Said blobby things then appear to exist within the dimensions of the room.

Not sure what the implications or application might be, but it sure is impressive!

As always, some interesting stats from Netcraft showing, amongst others, the effects of the explosive growth of weblogs on this record net growth curve.

In the Market Share for Top Servers Across All Domains August 1995 - July 2005, Apache’s continuing climb (seriously kicking M$-butt) is nothing short of phenomenal.

Steve Rubel is way ahead of everyone, already considering this issue on Micro Persuasion

What I would like to see in IE 7 are some basic Microsoft.com feeds (e.g. support/security alerts) to prove the concept to the everyday user and then a Favorite that points to an open directory of feeds. This could be either a new directory that Microsoft creates or one or more established indexes, such as Nooked. Either way, the directory needs to be open so that anyone can submit their feed and categorize it.

I also think that Microsoft should put a major marketing effort behind RSS in Longhorn whenever it ships. It would go a long way to helping consumers understand the value of RSS. Sign Elton John now to sing “Feed Me” at a big 2006 event on the Redmond campus.

That’s what I call forward thinking.

I can see the rivalry between the likes of Bloglines, Technorati, PubSub and Feedster get really hot to be awarded such a concession.

NASA animation of the impending Deep Impact Comet.

(an) artist’s conception” of the Tempel 1 Deep Impact mission. Nobody knows what will happen when 820 pounds of metal slams into the comet with 5 kilotons of force, but whatever happens, Maas’s digital precreation is probably way more entertaining than NASA’s imagery is likely to be.

Update:

Some related animations submitted in the comments - for hardcore fans there’s also a 10 min (28MB) nuclear interception sequence.

PledgeBank :

a site to help people get things done, especially things that require several people. We think that the world needs such a service: lots of good things don’t happen because there aren’t enough organised people to do them.

Example:

Brian Eno will get three friends to sign up to the Proportional Representation Groundswell but only if 100 other people will pledge to sign up at least three of their friends too. (60 days left, 28 more signatures needed)
