"The Photosynth Technology Preview is a taste of the newest - and, we hope, most exciting - way to view photos on a computer. Our software takes a large collection of photos of a place or an object, analyzes them for similarities, and then displays the photos in a reconstructed three-dimensional space, showing you how each one relates to the next.

"In our collections, you can access gigabytes of photos in seconds, view a scene from nearly any angle, find similar photos with a single click, and zoom in to make the smallest detail as big as your monitor."

"Gigapan, an ongoing partnership between Charmed Labs, Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute, NASA Ames Intelligent Robotics Group, and Google. 'Giga' stands for many, or billions of pixels, and 'pan' as in panorama. One of the primary goals of Gigapan is to capture stunning panoramic images of our world using technology that is afforable to the ordinary consumer....
....you don't simply look at a Gigapan, you explore it."

Science educator Roy Gould and Microsoft's Curtis Wong give an astonishing sneak preview of Microsoft's new WorldWide Telescope -- a technology that combines feeds from satellites and telescopes all over the world and the heavens, and weaves them together holistically to build a comprehensive view of our universe.

THE DOUBLE-ENVELOPE HOUSE


Few new housing designs have drawn as much attention—or caused as much controversy—as has the double envelope. Pioneered in 1977 by Lee Porter Butler and Tom Smith in a house near Lake Tahoe, California...

FACTS
The Sun is 93 million miles away from the Earth!
The Sun is almost 5 billion years old!
It takes 200,000 years for light to make it from the core to the surface of the Sun but then only 8 minutes to reach the Earth!
Electric currents high above the surface can cause ground induced currents that disrupt power transmission and degrade pipelines
The ionization of our atmosphere by Space Weather affects radio communications and GPS navigation
Space weather is caused by charged particles and their motions
Radiation from Space Weather creates the ionosphere, affects astronauts, and destroys satellites
All wavelengths of light, from X-rays to radio, vary with the solar cycle. They also vary on shorter and longer timescales.
The primary energy the Earth receives from the Sun is radiant energy, or light.
Solar activity starts in the convection zone of the Sun where the solar dynamo produces the Sun's magnetic field.
The Sun's energy is produced by nuclear reactions in the core.
The primary energy the Earth receives from the Sun is radiant energy, or light.
All wavelengths of light, from X-rays to radio, vary with the solar cycle. They also vary on shorter and longer timescales.
Studying how the Sun's variability affects the Earth requires identifying the sources and timescales of the solar variability and measuring the response.
Solar activity starts in the convection zone of the Sun where the solar dynamo produces the Sun's magnetic field.
Short-term variations are also related to the magnetic field. Flares and coronal mass ejections are examples of rapid solar variations.
The wavelengths that contribute the greatest energy to Earth vary by the smallest fraction, while wavelengths with small net energy input exhibit larger fractional changes.

What's up Bro? How have you been? Thank's for the compliment on my sketches! I am eager to do many more of those very soon. Check out this site I have been working on! Let me know if you have any suggestions you think I should implement... Also, your solar heater is fantastic! a total inspiration!

Here is the site:

Hi Grant,
keep posted and keep posting. I will write some of Lee's wild postings here... His work is slowly becoming recognized, and as that happens, I can introduce the newest 100% self sustaining work of Lee's to uplift humanity. Blessings,Jill

Here is a passive solar heater that has been in my mind rolling around for years.
It is a modification of the
trombe wall. I constructed it out of pvc pipe and vinyl plastic in Philadelphia, PA.

It is pleasant on a sunny day and provides heat between 9 am and 3 pm.

I use a thermostaticly controlled fan to bring the air into the top window and there is a return for the hot air heating system in the room that circulates the heat throughout the house.
