“Michael Surtees put together an interesting Interview with Inaki Escudero who he rightfully describes as a ‘creative’s creative in that he’s extremely genuine, curious and open to new ideas. While a lot of people are living in an outdated model to pursue ideas, Inaki is embracing everything and anything which I highly respect.’
Inaki read one book a week for an entire year. Yes, that’s 52 books! Inspired to perhaps try such a thing himself, Michael had to find out more about how Inaki accomplished the readings and why. Click on the link below for their email conversation.
“Google.org, Google’s philanthropic arm, has announced a cloud-based method for analyzing deforestation around the world, in a much more up-to-date manner than previously possible.
Using Google’s terabytes of satellite imagery, it allows scientists to look back over time at any location in the world and see how the forest has changed. Going beyond visual comparisons, it uses the power of cloud computing to do actual measurement of deforestation. Much more rapid analysis of the images than is possible on a single desktop computer pinpoints locations of most recent activity. This allows authorities to location illegal logging very precisely, within days of the activity.” (via designmind)
“Here is how it works: The little tiles on the left represent the individual posts, with color stripes representing their categories. You can find a color legend in the category filter on the right.
