Cool Building in Dubai where each floor rotates independently of the other. Pretty Cool!
01/19/2008 10:36 Filed in: Architecture
I had read about this building a couple months ago
and found the concept to be pretty fascinating and
now this morning I've just stumbled upon this video
via
Digg.com.
Check it out, each floor plate in the building
rotates and if I'm understand the underlying
technologies; they're capturing the energy for other
uses or to defray energy costs for the building
itself. I will try and locate more information and
double-back and add it to this post.

iMac Deliving "twice the bang for the buck"...

iMac delivering “twice the bang for the
buck”
At Iona College in New Rochelle, New York, iMac offers the best of both worlds, allowing students and faculty to “run their Mac-based programs of choice, while still enabling access to the Windows applications they need.” Says Dimitris Hilaris, Iona’s associate vice provost for IT, “Now that we have the versatility of being able to put both operating systems on one computer and the pricing is competitive, it doesn’t make sense not to go with Apple.”

I've missed you...
Returned from The Bahamas after a wonderful trip
which was extended thanks to Tropical Storm Noel. Our
3 day trip became a 5 day trip. What a wonderful time
we had exactly one year later from our original trip
to Paradise Island. Before I go crazy telling you
about The Bahamas round two.

video
your undivided attention as it's beyond --
-- thought provoking.
Part Two:
One of my readers thinks that the film, "What the Bleep Do We Know" is crap. I find this interesting because it's one, peripheral element of this post, but by no means is it the focal point, I included it to provoke thought and dialog and it worked. I welcome and appreciate comments from my readers. As the writer and publisher of this blog I'm most interested in actually exploring and sharing information, not just opinions this is the core objective of this blog. In that spirit please provide your thoughts along with your resources, links, etc. to further your point when you elect to post a comment; let's really open it up to sharing and on-going, open dialog. Since my use of the tag 'Critical Thinking' also appears to be a sticking point I've taken the opportunity to link to the wikipedia definition of 'Critical Thinking'. I'm linking to wikipedia because m-w.com provided no definition for 'Critical Thinking' at their website.

...and the response I've received so far is
fantastic. Now, I have a question for my readers /
subscribers; which do you prefer
Feedburner
or
FeedBlitz
for delivering RSS when you subscribe? I'm currently
evaluating these two RSS providers and I'd really
like to hear from my readers and subscribers. Please
post a comment to this post or send me an email
telling which one you prefer and why. Your comments
are most appreciated. Thank you.
