Gawrsh! I had a Planets record back in the day and it was fabulous. Hooks galore. They should have been bigger.

You folks make fun of me for my predilection for porn...

...but, really, I'm just trying to help put these girls through law school.

That's weird, perverted, disgusting... I've bookmarked it in all my browsers.

Everything I Know: 42 Hours of Buckminster Fuller’s Visionary Lectures Free Online (1975)

Transcripts too.

Wow, and I'm not even a fan of NYC. But those pictures are gorgeous.

Griff · 01-13-2015, 06:19 AM

Really beautiful.

You can't see the grittiness from that high.

lumberjim · 01-13-2015, 08:59 AM

a couple of those pics look a LOT like SimCity™

I'm not a huge fan of the tilt shift ones. I mean, the effect is neat, but kind of gimmicky. I expect that 10 years from now, they will seem incredibly dated.

From that article...

Quote:

Had we gone just a few thousand more feet up (around 11,000-12,000 feet) we would have needed oxygen masks!
One veteran pilot that we often fly with refused to go up to the altitude we were at ... He said that "helicopters are not meant to live in that realm" - which I kind of agree with following this flight.

Guess that pilot didn't have any Chinook experience.

What looks like satellite, but might be aerial photographs of upwards of 700 US prisons. http://prisonmap.com/

That's a lot of prisons.

Many of them are built on old airports.

A few of them seem to just be pictures of active commercial airports. Maybe there's a holding cell in the airport for unruly passengers.

Reminds me of the rumor I've heard from the boy down the street that there is a small jail in the Eagle's football stadium because the fans there are so bad.

It does look nice. It reminds me of the Woodland Park Zoo, here in my neighborhood. There are several exhibits that have that same naturalistic design. Some of the vantage points make the visitor feel like they're not separated from the (other) animals at all.

The pictures at the link are from a more website-centric perspective, not like the link for the other zoo that showed the visitors' perspective.
