Researchers successfully simulate photosynthesis and design a better leaf University of Illinois researchers have built a better plant, one that produces more leaves and fruit without needing extra fertilizer. The researchers accomplished the feat using a computer model that mimics the process of evolution. Theirs is the first model to simulate every step of the photosynthetic process. ...

1104. A few recent posts (and an aside from Sam Adams at the Domain Name Transfer Party) reawakened the Address Nerd in me that's been slumbering for a while, and activated a particular subsector of that attitude regarding street signs–better referred to as blades, because of thier knifelike shape. I adore these little signs, of course. In a way, a city's street blades function as an aspect of the city's personality. They, if well-designed enough, give you all the information you need to coherently identify your location in a city whether you know the town or not. Some of them have interesting decorations. Photos of the ones I've seen in New York City have a really cool hi-contrast graphic of the Statue of Liberty on. The ones in our own humble Keizer have the logo of the city on, as to the ones in Vancouver. I'm making an appeal here. I'm gearing up again to document Portland's street blades. I have that end handled right now, but I'm wondering about what

Reposted from the Freethought Cafe by J.C. SamuelsonOn November 13th at 8:00 PM, the Public Broadcasting Service program NOVA will be airing a two-hour special that "captures the turmoil that tore apart the community of Dover, Pennsylvania in one of the latest battles over teaching evolution in public schools." The program is titled, Judgement Day: Intelligent Design on Trial, and features trial reenactments as well as interviews with those involved in the trial."Judgment Day captures on film a landmark court case with a powerful scientific message at its core," says NOVA's Senior Executive Producer, Paula Apsell. "Evolution is one of the most essential yet, for many people, least understood of all scientific theories, the foundation of biological science." She also says that one of the goals of the program is to "[h]eighten the public understanding of what constitutes science and what does not, and therefore, what is acceptable for inclusion in the science curriculum in our public sc

Angespornt durch das große Lob von gestern, wollte ich meine Seite noch ein bißchen schöner machen und hab Frauchen mal an den PC gesetzt. HTML-Kram ist eindeutig Zweibeinersache, damit will ich nix zu tun haben. Hund hat schließlich Besseres zu tun! ;o) So hat Frauchen gebastelt und gebastelt, bis ich endlich mein OK gegeben habe. Weiterhin schlicht gehalten (wir mögen es schlicht), aber irgendwie übersichtlicher und besser lesbar, finden wir. Ich hoffe es gefällt euch und idie Seite wird jetzt durch den Rahmen nicht zu langsam. Für eventuelle Beschwerden, falls es den Seitenaufbau doch stark verlangsamen sollte, ist im Kommentarbereich Platz. ;o)Bis bald, euer Alex (Alexander Bömbelmann ;o).

Cheap interior design ideas come in many forms these days. From television shows to magazines, the industry is trying to teach the consumer how to design cheap. In the past, ideas such as cheap design shows would have left most interior designers horrified. The industry of interior design has changed dramatically over the past few years in order to better accommodate consumers. In it´s early to mid stages of evolution, interior design was an industry of prestige. Now, due to the demand for cost-cutting design for the average customer, designing on a budget and cheap interior design has become a topic of much interest and acceptance. Of course, you will always find the designers who absolutely insist that durability and style of a design is identifiable with the name brand associated with the contents therein, which relates back to the price tag. Most everyday people do not relate to this line of thinking therefore it has become increasingly unpopular within the normal ranks of

This video features Eugenie Scott vs. Stephen Meyer (of the Discovery Institute) on intelligent design. This appeared on MSNBC in 2005.Scott's organization:http://www.natcenscied.org/Richard Sternberg, who served as editor for the science journal that published Meyer's article, by-passed his editorial board and skipped the peer-review process. Funny enough, that is the only article Meyer can cite! His own article, which was NOT peer-reviewed and did NOT mention intelligent design.Read the journal's statement on the article:http://www.biolsocwash.org/id_stateme...To see a creationist/intelligent design clip posted by someone who took a segment of this out of context:http://youtube.com/watch?v=z7-YVVf8fvkRead more about Sternberg's creationist interests and the Sternberg-Meyer controversy:http://www.pandasthumb.org/archives/2...

Kenneth R. Miller (born 1948) is a biology professor at Brown University. Miller, who is Roman Catholic, is particularly known for his opposition to creationism, including the intelligent design movement. He has written a book on the subject entitled Finding Darwin's God: A Scientist's Search for Common Ground Between God and Evolution, in which he furthers the argument that a belief in God and evolution are not mutually exclusive.A video of Ken Miller's 2-hour talk on Intelligent Design at Case Western University was posted to YouTube nearly two years ago. In the video, Miller basically rips Intelligent Design apart and exposes tactics that creationists employ to get creationism shoehorned into the American school system.Evolution resources from Miller's website: LINK

100%??????Today was the last day of Tokyo Designer's Week 2007, an event running from October 31 to November 4th that enveloped the whole of Tokyo and saw business, local government, and academia collaborating. Its reach went beyond the domestic, even, and involved hundreds of overseas design-related companies and individuals.The centerpiece of the week was the big exhibition, 100% Design Tokyo, that took place on the grounds of the Meiji Jingu Mae Art Gallery, staged mainly in a series of massive white tents.The sun was shining in an almost cloudless blue sky as we lined up for entry which, at 2,000 yen, turned out to be well worth it in both fun, gasp-factor, and the chance to meet people.The tent nearest the entrance, Blickfang, featured design work from Europe, mainly Germany. It was every bit as chic and imaginative as you would expect. The Czech glass was probably the most impressive in its perfection, simplicity, and unerring modernity.The Japan Brand Exhibition was

To tell you honestly, I've only been blogging since June 25, 2007. This is actually my first born blog! Haha! I used to be working for a web design company where I met a lot of cool bloggers who helped and inspired me to get started in blogging. It's to them I owe this new "career" that I have. In that company, I met a friend who is actually one of the local top bloggers in the country. He was the one who really gave me inspiration and advice on how I used go about blogging and designing. And so, in some sort of "pay it forward scheme", I'd like to share with you the things I've learned along the way in terms of designing your blog.
