I created this because my best friend and I are taking a trip to London! We hope to come back to the states fully British.

I had to cut it up into individual images because of tumblr’s compression… If you really need to view this as one whole image, you can do so here.

This 17-Year-Old Coder Is Saving Twitter From TV Spoilers

Imagine you forget to watch a new episode of Game of Thrones the night it airs. Even if coworkers stay mum about important plot points, Twitter is abuzz with spoilers. Fortunately, there’s Twivo, a new program that allows Twitter users to censor their feeds from mentioning a certain TV show (and its characters) for a set time period. Jennie Lamere, a 17-year-old girl, invented the software last month—and won the grand prize at a national coding competition where Lamere was the only female who presented a project, and the only developer to work alone. Internet: Meet the reason we need more women in tech.

(From Mother Jones)

I’m so excited by all of the teenagers in science and tech that we’re hearing about these days. MORE GIRLS PLEASE!

At SXSW, we talked about how we can’t wait to see the apps fangirls create to make the internet further work the way THEY want. What we may have not said so clearly is that it’s really the way that EVERYONE wants the internet to work. Go girl.

^^^ so into this.

Penelope Umbrico’s ‘Suns from Flickr’

Upon searching the word ‘sunsets’ on flickr Penelope Umbrico discovered more than half a million photos of sunsets that had been shared by people from all around the world. Selecting a few hundred from this vast collection she created the ‘suns from Flickr’ installation in which the selected photos were placed side-by-side forming a huge wall of suns.

What I find most interesting about this piece are the questions it raises about technology as an artefact and our use of it (in all its varying forms) for the representation of natural phenomena. The sun in all its ubiquity has and continues to be photographed via the many different types of photograph technology; many of these photographs are then shared on the internet on websites like flickr, facebook and of course tumblr. Umbrico, whether intentionally or inadvertedly, lays emphasis on the underlying veneer of irony that characterises nature photography. Photography as a medium of artistic expression has indeed impressed upon us many of the often-fleeting splendours of the natural world, splendours that are sufficiently ephemeral to render the capturing of them in time, through photography, more of a worthwhile pursuit. The sun however is and will, to the best of my scientific knowledge, always be here – the giver of life and warmth so completely eternal, it begs the question: why are there so many photos of it?

‘Suns from Flickr’ is currently on display as part of the ‘Landmark: the Fields of Photography’ exhibition now on at Somerset House in London: http://www.somersethouse.org.uk/about/press/press-releases/landmark-the-fields-of-photography

April 19, 1995, 8:57 A.M.: A lobby security camera at an apartment complex in downtown Oklahoma City captures a yellow Ryder truck headed toward the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.

April 19, 1995, 9:00 A.M.: The Ryder truck is parked in a drop-off zone in front of the north side of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The driver exits the vehicle and locks it. The keys to the vehicle are dropped a few blocks away by the driver.

April 19, 1995, 9:02 A.M.: The Ryder truck, packed in excess of 4,800 pounds of ammonium nitrate fertilizer, nitromethane, and diesel fuel mixture, detonates. One-third of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building is destroyed, the explosion of the truck leaves a crater 30 feet wide and 8 feet deep where it was parked, 324 buildings within a 16-block radius are destroyed or badly damaged, and glass is shattered in 258 nearby buildings. The effects of the blast were equivalent to over 5,000 pounds (2,300 kilograms) of TNT. It was heard and felt up to 55 miles (89 kilometers) away. A Seismometer at Science Museum Oklahoma, 4.3 miles (6.9 kilometers) away, and a Seismometer in Norman, Oklahoma, 16.1 miles (25.9 kilometers) away, both recorded the blast as measuring approximately 3.0 on the Richter scale. The explosion caused an estimated $652 million in damage, left several hundred people homeless, and shut down many businesses in downtown Oklahoma City. 680 people were injured. 168 lives, 19 of which were children under the age of 6, were taken.

Today, April 19, 2013, is the 18th anniversary of the bombing in Oklahoma City. Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin released the following statement:

“On this day 18 years ago, our city was forever changed when 168 lives were taken from us in the bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building. Today, we remember those who were lost, and offer support to the survivors and families left behind. We also honor the heroic efforts of the emergency responders, firefighters, and law enforcement personnel who worked tirelessly to recover survivors.

In the days after the bombing, our city came together in a display of strength, unity and resiliency that would later become known as the ‘Oklahoma standard.’ That same spirit has allowed our city to overcome this tragedy and emerge stronger than ever.

Our hearts are also burdened today as we grieve for the victims of the bombing attacks in Boston. Oklahoma City knows all too well the pain Boston is experiencing, and we continue to offer our prayers for the victims and their families. Oklahomans — just like all Americans — are a resilient and tough people. We have full confidence that our friends in Boston will emerge from this terrible tragedy stronger.”
