From the author:
“a little animation project i started this past weekend, inspired by the wonderful music of Olafur Arnalds. the song is called Ljósið, and you can listen to it at: foundsongs.erasedtapes.com.”
On how he made it:
“i first imported the audio and set up 2 sounkeys layers, one for the piano and one for the strings. Then i worked the particles and the particle subsystem and linked things like the emission, the turbulence, the velocity, the spin amplitude and the strength of the fields to the soundkeys outputs. Then i set up the colors with 2 different palettes, and well, after that there was a lot of trial and error in order to achieve what i was looking for. There’s a lot of randomness involved in here, so there was also a lot of luck, of course.”

Carbon Nanotube Muscles Strong as Diamond, Flexible as Rubber and as light as air. Their is so much that can be made from this self organizing organism of a material. Just ponder upon all the possibilities that this could possibly create… From super tight shoe strings to super light space ships???

Green. Greener. Greenest.
Mayor Phil Gordon is aiming straight for the top in his ambitious call to make Phoenix the greenest city in the nation.
And why not?
The strategies that create an environmentally sound place – from expanding solar power to using water more efficiently – fit right into the region’s strengths and needs.
In his State of the City address last Wednesday, Gordon laid out a 17-point plan developed in conjunction with Arizona State University’s Global Institute of Sustainability.

Super-fast quantum computers are now a step closer to becoming a reality, thanks to a breakthrough by scientists.
Edinburgh and Manchester University researchers have created a molecular device which could act as a building block for super-fast computers.
They have created components that could be used to develop quantum computers, which can make intricate calculations faster than conventional machines.
The academics used molecular scale technology instead of silicon chips.
They achieved the breakthrough by combining tiny magnets with molecular machines that can shuttle between two locations without the use of external force.
The maneuverable magnets could one day be used as the basic component in quantum computers.

The Venus Project presents a bold, new direction for humanity that entails nothing less than the total redesign of our culture. There are many people today who are concerned with the serious problems that face our modern society: unemployment, violent crime, replacement of humans by technology, over-population and a decline in the Earth’s ecosystems.
