A twist on the idea of the underwater turbine, the Searaser also uses the motion of the ocean to generate power. The device consists of two independent floats that move with the waves, pumping out seawater as they do. The water can then be pumped inland for hydroelectric power, irrigation, or to hilltop reservoirs for later use. One unit should be able to power 470 homes, and a six-month preproduction trial is currently being planned. ...

Sea Orchestra is a nice animated commercial for United Airlines done by Shy the Sea. As lovely as it is, the "making of" video -- which reveals reference materials, initial sketches, and storyboards -- might be even better. (thx, dave) (link)

I think we can all agree Twitter, and microblogging, is a real thing. It’s hip. It’s cool. All the kids are doing it. Who knew there would be so much activity in 140 characters? In fact, Twitter has become a great tool for gathering information. From first hand accounts to general internet memes. The best sign of Twitter’s popularity are the companies latching on to its success by building tools extending the services’ functionality. We’ve ...

We’re big fans of the Tumblr blogging platform and we especially love its simplicity — when it comes to Tumblr, not having features is a feature. However, that logic falls apart a little bit when it comes to backing up your blog. Unlike WordPress, Movable Type and other popular blog tools, Tumblr doesn’t have an easy export tool. In fact, it doesn’t offer any exporting or backup tools. Tumblr does, however, offer an API which ...

There’s a brand new plugin for Wordpress that now fully supports the power of OpenID. Will Norris and Chris Messina have released version 3 of the OpenID plugin for Wordpress, which lets you turn your blog into an OpenID provider. To take full advantage of the plugin, you’ll also need the XRDS-Simple plugin, a service discover framework. As with previous versions, users can login with an OpenID to leave a comment. This is especially useful ...

A primeira coisa que eu presto atenção em um blog é se ele tem comentários. Acho isso muito mais relevante do que estatísticas para se ter uma idéia rápida do desepenho do blog. O comentário mostra se o conteúdo está inspirando engajamento. O problema é que o funcionamento do comentário continua o mesmo desde que ele apareceu. Depois de uma certa quantidade de comentários, fica desestimulante participar de uma discussão porque implica em gastar muito ...

This is a guest blog from Grant Jones. In the Algorithm Ink blog post, I mentioned that I’d be interested to see if a Flash implementation of ContextFree.js would be faster than the pure Javascript, and if so, how much faster. Would an implementation of the Canvas API done in Flash make a better solution for Canvas in IE than Google’s excanvas? Within days, Grant had jumped in, wrote some slick code, and answered those ...

The RSS wizards at FriendFeed (a social news aggregation site) are proposing a new way to distribute and fetch RSS feeds faster. The proposal is a simple one: publishers provide a centralized RSS to inform readers which feeds have been been updated since their last visit. The benefit? Your news fast. FriendFeed’s Gary Burd and Paul Buchheit (both former Googlers) want to download your RSS feeds as rapidly as they can without taking down your ...
