Images: There’s another world around here
Insects driving scooters or bicycles, skateboarding through a micro world, playing piano, or snails selling their “house”. There’s lots happening in the worlds that Nicholas from Belgium captures in his Flickr sets.

Best HDR images on the web: (Introduction)
We recently mentioned that one of us will soon be going on a long travel around this planet so we got a professional digital camera to capture some of the impressions and share them later.

There are a few pretty good tutorials on the web how to achieve these effects and software is now also available to substantially reduce the process steps required (If interested we can provide a list of the best links we found).

With the use of shipping containers it becomes relatively easy for companies to install a data center in an area with cheaper energy or to set up a data center in record time when demand increases. Currently suppliers of such solutions expect the…

Image: The government hates competition
An interesting sign on Texas congressman Ron Paul’s desk. According to online sources Ron Paul, Republican, is seen as “kind of a libertarian” but also as a “Constitutionalist” and an advocate of limited government who is pretty solid on a lot of issues and has a quite consistent voting record.
While his voting record includes a few quite scary ones, he has also opposed U.S. military interventions overseas, including Iraq…

Advertising: IT sponsored theater plays
Two great and fresh advertising ideas for theater plays. These ads for the ‘Virtual Theater Festival For High Schools’ are on the winners list of the 8th Adprint festival and are a excellent demonstration for the creative ink between a computer maker (HP) and the poetry or theater (performance art)…
