NASA'S Terra Satellite captured ash plume images of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland this morning at 7:35 am EST. The volcano erupted Wednesday for the second time this month and is wreaking havoc by grounding flights all through Europe.
I've always enjoyed the work of Frank Deford. Whether it be on NPR, Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel or in Sports Illustrated, he has always been equally compelling and entertaining.
His piece in the March 29th issue of Sports Illustrated, Confessions of a Sportswriter, however, takes the cake. It is an absolute masterpiece.
Woodstock? The Last Waltz? "Mere aperitifs," according to Colin Fleming at Salon. He said check out recently-released T.A.M.I. Show featuring Chuck Berry, The Beach Boys, James Brown, and The Rolling Stones.
I'm still partial to The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus.
1 in 40 may be a supertasker but I would venture to guess that more then 1 in 40 think they are one.
Check it out... a new Doves song with accompanying vid just released on their youtube page.
Also they are coming out with a greatest hits.
David W. Dunlap of the New York Times has proposed a project to his readers to create a global mosaic of one date and time.
Where will you be on Sunday, May 2, at 15:00 hours U.T.C. ?
Wherever you are, we hope you'll have a camera -- or a camera phone -- in hand. And we hope you'll be taking a picture to send to Lens that will capture this singular instant in whatever way you think would add to a marvelous global mosaic; a Web-built image of one moment in time across the world.
We extend the invitation to everyone, everywhere. Amateurs. Students. Pros. People who've been photographing for a lifetime or who just started yesterday.
Very cool idea; I'll have to clear some room on my iPhone.
If you need to figure out your local time, use the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) conversion table.
That's right. We're back.
We'll be dropping culture bombs in a less structured, more helter-skelter style. (Something like this chart.)
For now, no shed-yule, as Charles Widmore would say, but you'll get mind-blowing memes that are relevant and effective, engaging and intriguing. And we'll bring the knowledge.
We're watching the Information Age unfurl with a flood of data and a dire need for organization. Efficiency is king. (It governs nature and it creates beauty).
This is the depot of all things interest-piquing. And what if I told you we'll be inviting some friends to contribute? Is that something you might be interested in? [A little NSFW, Sanka not included.]
If so, stay tuned. The hiatus is back off, again.
Rock for Kids, an organization that raises money to help provide music lessons for underprivileged children, was inspired to pay tribute to the king of pop and in tandem to help to raise money for the organization. ImissyouMJ.com is a collective photo memorial that includes 10,000 photo plots available for purchase; the plots come together to form a mosaic of MJ's famous white glove. A $25 donation allows you to submit your own photo into the mosaic and receive a copy of this poster once the squares have been filled. Proceeds go to Rock for Kids and the poster itself will be presented to the Jackson family as a tribute.
