Happy Birthday Mother Earth Day!



Happy Earth Day ya'll! I'm hoping there will be some still awe-inspiring reruns of planet earth on the discovery channel when I get home tonight. Hands down, this is the best slow motion sequence in the whole series. The ocean off South Africa is effing scary (especially if you are a seal).



Speaking of Earth Awareness (shouldn't we be more aware of it everyday?) I fianlly got to experience the craze that is augmented reality.





Check it out at GE's Ecomagination website. The design and animation are amazing and to play with the AG application, you have to print out the form with the little black picture on it and hold it up to your webcam. Then voila!

It's really interesting but there's really no specific use for it in this example. It's just a cool techie gimmick to play with. I wonder what some other possibilities are...
