Gisteren heeft WWAV de Alpe d’HuZes 2012 website weer live gezet.
Living in New York I’d grab my Canon 7D, or S95, and shoot footage of what was going on around me. It seemed like a never ending project and you could stay filming life in New York for a long time. But eventually I put my camera down and started to edit. Here’s the end result, it’s a bit rough and ready but that’s life in the Big Apple I guess. Turn up the volume or put in your earphones on this one for the beautiful song ‘We Don’t Eat’ by Irishman James Vincent McMorrow.

You never read tech news, do you? Good. Somehow, the story of the accidental early release of a Facebook iPad app everyone was expecting is threatening to turn into a week-long saga. Make it stop! This is the most boring shit ever.

And that is basically what happened on the entire Internet this weekend, after Amy Winehouse died, and because it was boiling hot in 85% of North America, everyone was glued to their computers and their Twitters and had to really let it fly.

Please note that the 16 largest ships are responsible for a CO2-emission that equals the emission off all auto-mobiles combined on our planet.
Shipping is an energy efficient way of transporting goods, but it is associated with a number of negative environmental effects. The Clean Shipping Project was started in order to increase focus on the environmental issues of shipping. One of the results of the project so far is the Clean Shipping Index, an index taking a holistic perspective on the environmental issues of shipping.
I guess that some kind of ‘Clean Shipping Index‘ (CSI) will be used one day as a tax-tool or benchmark for port officials. Meaning taxing environmental unfriendly ships extra when they de-embark in an European port makes them economically less attractive.
How young people watch television is rapidly changing according to a new study of UK mobile internet users below the age of 25. 80% of those surveyed use a mobile device to communicate with friends while watching TV with 72% using Twitter, Facebook or mobile applications to actively comment on shows as they are watching them.
Rather than social networks and television competing for attention it seems that young people are happy to embrace both and use one to enhance their enjoyment of the other. The UK study found that 34% described the trend as ‘fun’, 32% said it made television ‘more interesting’ with 42% mentioning the ‘community’ aspect of ‘Social TV’.
