7 Man-Made Substances that Laugh in the Face of Physics

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

The universe is full of weird substances like liquid metal and whatever preservative keeps Larry King alive. But mankind isn’t happy to accept the weirdness of nature when we can create our own abominations of science that, due to the miracle of technology, spit in nature’s face and call it retarded.

That’s why we came up with…

  • Ferrofluids
  • Aerogel
  • Perfluorocarbons
  • Elastic Conductors
  • Non-Newtonian Fluids
  • Transparent Alumina
  • Carbon Nanotubes

Three quality of visual presentations at Mauro Cherubini’s moleskine

Monday, December 5th, 2005

Mauro Cherubini take note of three important principles when designing a presentation. I want to remember them:

[1] Legibility - distinctness that makes perception easy

[2] Readability - writing (print or handwriting) that can be easily read

[3] Clarity - free from obscurity and easy to understand; the comprehensibility of clear expression

Therefore the first level belong to the perception, the send to the presentation and the third to the content.

Thanks Mauro.

Towards a World Wide Database (WWDB)

Friday, October 28th, 2005

Minding the Planet gives a deep and futuristic speculation about the Web to come:

I believe the next big leap for the Web is what I am calling “The World Wide Database.” The World Wide Database is a globally distributed network of data records that reside on millions of nodes around the network which collectively behaves as a giant virtual, decentralized database system. Google Base is an attempt to try to build such a database on a single node. But I don’t think that approach will ultimately become the WWDB. At best it will be a huge data silo, or many silos in one place.
