Artist: Jules Verne

Today, Google honors the 183rd birthday of sci-fi author Jules Verne, by turning the Google logo into a Nautilus porthole , which can be navigated to 20,000 leagues ... under the sea, I suppose. "Using CSS3 (and with help from our resident tech wizards Marcin Wichary and Kris Hom), the doodle enables anyone to navigate the Nautilus down (nearly) 20,000 leagues with the simple pull of a lever," Google doodler Jennifer Horn wrote in a blog post . "And for those using devices with built-in accelerometers and [...]

Of course the FMLY DNR TR crew will be present (with the exception of Philip Seymour Hoffman who has migrated back east again). We will be clashing will our pals Weed Diamond , Tan Dollar [...]

It's time for the FMLY to come together. We're nearing the end of the aughts and to put Thanksgiving to shame we'd love to embrace all of the kind folks, awesome jams and unique experiences we've shared together.

• Insects vs. Robots - Zombies

Arthur C. Clarke starb gestern früh im stolzen Alter von 90 Jahren. Für mich war der Autor einer der wichtigsten Schnittstellen zwischen Technologie und Literatur - über 100 Werke verzeichnet sein Œuvre. Als einer der vehementesten Verfechter wissenschaftlichen Fortschrittes gilt er dem Spiegel sogar als Vater der Science Fiction.

Sein bekanntestes Werk dürfte die Roman 2001: Odyssee im Weltraum gewesen sein. Er war die Vorlage für [...]
