а что случилось в 1985-м году? начало перестройки?

а что тогда в 1960-м? какая-то массовая урбанизация? шестидесятники? пресловутые "битлы"?

я не знаю источника, просто увидел у [livejournal.com profile] psycozaika, может, всё это и враки.

блин, век живи - век учись (у Природы). помнится, однако, что [livejournal.com profile] avva как-то нам тут "бумеранг" показывал; то другая Природа, наверное.

никто не поможет вспоминить одну штуковину, которую я недавно видел? это было что-то вроде визуального портрета каждого дня (или даже каждого часа), составленного на основе (по-моему, ста) картинок из информационных лент.

мне кажется, я забыл поставить хоть какую-то метку на это дело, и вот результат.

"Kazakh policemen investigate the scene of an explosion in Almaty, November 28, 2004. Two powerful blasts rocked the headquarters of President Nursultan Nazarbayev's ruling Otan (Fatherland) party in Almaty's busy central district on Sunday evening, a spokeswoman for the Emergencies Agency said.

Kazakhstan police said 'hooliganism' was likely behind two small explosions." © Shamil Zhumatov/Reuters

хулюганят, ага.

в [livejournal.com profile] 101almatinec почти ничего нет, раз-два и обчёлся. да и я всё прозевал с этой болезнью.

взрывы произошли на углу коммунистическойго и октябрьской (или, пардон, Абылай Хана и Айтеке би), в самом центре города (старом центре, надо добавить; уже десять минут ушло на то, чтобы вспомнить, чтогдекогда на пересечении с чем).


В Алма-Ате произошел взрыв рядом со штабом партии Назарбаева

По предварительным данным, сила взрывов в офисе алматинского филиала РПП "Отан", составила 400 гр. в тротиловом эквиваленте

В результате взрывов в офисе алматинского филиала РПП "Отан" пострадал случайный прохожий

Руководство партии "Отан" отказалось от комментариев по поводу взрывов в алматинском офисе партии


сейчас уже почти ничего нет в новостях, всё, "проехали".

"Doting South Korean parents can preserve their child's umbilical cord in acrylic resin to make a personal seal or even have it gold plated.

In this Confucian society where family values are highly prized, suppliers also offer services for parents to have traditional Korean calligraphy brushes made from their child's hair.

Shim Jae-cheol of U&I Impression said the firm had gold-plated about 80 to 100 umbilical cords a month since starting business in August, with prices ranging from 80,000 won to 100,000 won ($76 to $96). It also offers mail order.

South Korean law allows parents to keep the umbilical cord of their children, although sales to a third party would be illegal.

Another supplier, Agamo, which makes calligraphy brushes made from human hair and preserves umbilical cords in personal seals, hopes to branch out to Japan. - You Had WHAT Gold-Plated?

[livejournal.com profile] jwz, как обычно, зажигает. можно, я без картинок в этот раз?

upd: но с другой стороны, я тут у [livejournal.com profile] psycozaika такое видел, что все эти пуповины - в прямом смысле детский лепет.

Think of the first place you remember living. Think of the streets, pathways, bodies of water, train tracks and intersections that you remember. Try to remember the relationships of each. Find the farthest edges of each in your mind.

You are invited to participate in memorymapping, a public project compiling a world atlas of collective and individual experiences of place. Add your maps to the memoryBase, to share your version of a complex story of what constitutes "place" and "home."


красиво, да. пошёл рисовать.

а ведь в жж такую фигню сделать - нефиг делать.

а надо же, на какую фигню феерические действа умы-то уходят.

вот как американцы поняли идеи mime-a. "храните все ваши драгоценные файлы в позолоченном usb-драйве!" не просто missed the point, а ещё и совершеннейший инфофетишизм.

if you ask.


этакий (псевдо)транзитный объект дигитальной эпохи. с другой стороны, транзитные объекты всегда псевдо.

Celebrities hounded by paparazzi may at last be able to emerge from behind their dark glasses without trepidation. By wearing a specially designed electronic badge that jams electronic cameras, they will be able to prevent photographers from taking unwanted pictures.

The 'privacy protection system' being developed by Hewlett-Packard will allow the publicity-shy to transmit an infrared signal to any nearby compatible camera. Once activated, the camera’s software will automatically blur beyond recognition the face of anybody wearing the badge, New Scientist magazine reports.

The threat of being caught on a concealed webcam may also be reduced with technology developed by the Japanese inventors Hiromi Someya and Toshiki Ishino of Kanagawa which fuzzes out anyone caught in the shot.

As a web surfer zooms in on a scene, intelligent face-recognition software identifies faces coming into range. The picture resolution of the faces is progressively reduced, so that individual mugshots are never clearly captured. When the lens zooms back out the clarity returns.

Although the technology will offer some comfort to those who are assailed by the press against their will, it will do nothing for hundreds of aspiring starlets to solve the opposite problem — not being photographed enough.

To this end, Nokia is developing a new Global Positioning System with which phonecam users will be able to invite paparazzi to take their picture. By clicking a 'celebrity mode' button the camera sends out a Wi-Fi signal inviting anyone near by with a compatible camera to take a photograph.

Alongside its 'privacy protection system', Hewlett-Packard is developing a camera activated by a brooch or a clipped-on earring which can take a picture of someone without their knowledge.

The earring contains an accelerometer that detects a flick of the head and sends a wireless trigger signal to the camera to take a picture.

Badge keeps paparazzi out of the picture
