Terra Tracks Ten Years of Change - http://terra.nasa.gov/Ten/
On December 18, 1999, NASA launched Terra, the first of a series of large satellites meant to monitor the health of our planet. Terra carries five instruments, including two from Japan and Canada, that together track Earth's land, atmosphere, and ocean. Terra's primary mission is to answer the question: How is the Earth changing and what are the consequences of change for life on Earth? Here are some of the changes Terra has observed.

Sketch Nation: iPhone/iPod Touch app where users design their own games by taking pictures of their drawings - http://blog.sketchnation.com/

Dani Radu liked this
"Designing a game yourself was Engineous Games' goal. Winners of the AppsFire developers contest, its Sketch Nation app starts life as a basic arcade game, but every feature and graphic in the game is created by the users - but not using a graphical application. Players sketch out ship, enemy invaders and other objects on paper, and then the smartphone's camera takes these pictures and places them into the game. Not only is it a great game, but it also releases the creativity of the user in a simple way. "

"Are you a power-user with 5 minutes to spare? Do you want a faster internet experience? Try out namebench. It hunts down the fastest DNS servers available for your computer to use. namebench runs a fair and thorough benchmark using your web browser history, tcpdump output, or standardized datasets in order to provide an individualized recommendation. namebench is completely free and does not modify your system in any way. This project began as a 20% project at Google."

This told me that Comcast is 150% faster than my Google DNS servers!
- Louis Gray
App kept hanging on me. Killed it 3 times and gave up.
- Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)
the zip extraction hung for me but the app started, but failed to do any other dns servers besides my current dns, but after that first run though the zip extraction finished and i was able to benchmark with 10 other dns servers
- Chris Heath
My results were that UltraDNS was the fastest, besting 8.8.8.8 by 80%
- Kurt Starnes
My results are the same as Louis' for Comcast
- Jesse Stay
Google DNS has been slower across the board. Even against other 3rd-party services like OpenDNS, Google DNS loses. Stick with your ISP's DNS.
- Jason Huebel
Google is beating OpenDNS for me here. Haven't tested up against my ISP since they are blocking certain swashbuckling sites on behalf of the danish government....
- Rasmus Lauridsen
Here's my benchmark using ns_bench: http://friendfeed.com/jhuebel... i would assume that the country you live in would affect your DNS tests significantly. I live in the US, so OpenDNS and Google have servers in my country to test against.
- Jason Huebel
I think the results can vary quite a bit from country to country.
- Matt Cutts
Yup If I remember correct OpenDNS have their Euro servers in London. Not sure where Google are hiding their euro servers.. Best bet is definitely testing where you get the best speed and use the fastest.. But you probably want to keep testing once in a while, cause if I know google right they will make theirs better quickly.
- Rasmus Lauridsen
the reason why you'd even need a tool like this is that each ISP and even each region in which that ISP is located, routes differently. Comcast's DNS is faster than google's when for example comcast's is sitting in the same building as the place your cable connects to. Funnily enough, I'm on comcast in fort lauderdale, and it suggest's AT&T's DNS in naples. Note that a lot of this is mitigated by having a router (eg. wifi) that caches DNS requests.

"The Volkswagen Microbus is a classic - even to those of us born after its time. Arguably unlike the newly remade Beetle, this remake of a VW classic is remarkably true to the original on the outside - but on the inside it is a bio-diesel hybrid stuffed full of high tech gadgetry and eco-friendly innovations."

Super cool VW Bus making a comeback...
- Walt Ruppar
First of all, I'll cop to wanting one of these. That being said, Jason is right. This is for rich hippies (who probably aren't hippies at all). The VW microbus became the darling of the Flower Power crowd because it was cheap, easy to repair, and big. You could camp in it. Is there a car today that fits this bill?
- Chris Baskind
wow, you can buy an awful lot of pot with $129,000.
- Thomas Hawk
I don't know a self-respecting hippie that would prefer this over a really nice indoor greenhouse. ;-)
- Chris Baskind
@Chris, Most cars today aren't as simple, but with the wealth of knowledge online, it just takes more time. The minivan/SUV can become a camper van with a few mods. They'll never take the place of the VW, but they're an updated version of the 70s panelvan conversions (hopefully without shag carpeting & a disco-ball).
- Steven Cains
Nope: there will never be anything that simple again. That's not all bad: I can't imagine a 1960s VW Minibus would satisfy *any* federal safety standard these days. You're right. A used minivan might be the closest thing.
- Chris Baskind
Very Cool. You can't drive your house but, you can sleep in your Van !!!

Very intriguing. How much steel is in that thing? Chris, that would be my next question after fuel consumption: how safe is this thing? And I agree, when we can go back to making transportation that costs less than a small home, we may have achieved something amazing. ;)

However, I have heard (and I'm not remembering where at the moment) that there has been a movement growing of people seeking alternative housing and substituting things like this as the new "mobile" home.

So after reading this article yesterday, I found myself this evening in front of a local place that specializes in reconditioning old VWs. It was closed, but there's an awesome red and white microbus out front with a For Sale sign on it. Ugly, underpowered -- and probably dangerous, by modern standards. Want. ;-)
