Environment | Maghalayas Living Bridge

I offer this as perhaps the last post of 2012. It's time to get back to being one with the terrain, in Lucky 13.

This is amazing.

Curators at the Museum of London have discovered what they believe to be the first ever recordings of a family Christmas, made 110 years ago by the Wall family who lived in New Southgate in North London. The recordings were made between 1902 and 1917 on wax cylinders made by a phonograph machine.

Absolutely fascinating story. [BBC]

Crazy Statistician | Andrew Walker "One day of activity..."

Brought to my attention some time ago by the ever-interesting Price Tags... Andrew Walker runs transit information through home-made custom software (based on a program for satellite-tracking software) to create a visualization of the transit activity of one day (4am to 4am) in a city. He started with Vancouver:



And recently came out with New York City.



Both are quite beautiful.
