The Beauty of Time Lapse Photography

Watch this totally awesome HD video created using time lapse photography. Landscape photographer Terje Sorgjerd captures the beauty of the Milky Way from atop Spain’s highest mountain El Teide.

Sorgjerd writes, “The goal was to capture the beautiful Milky Way galaxy along with one of the most amazing mountains I know El Teide.”

Hardware Used: Canon 5D Mark II with a Canon 17mm TSE, Canon 16-35mm II, Canon 24/1.4II, and Sigma 12-24mm

The goal I am sure was more than accomplished! Sit back and soak in the splendid visuals.

Gaming can make the world better!

Check out this great talk by Jane McGonigal, a game designer on how games and human strategies applied to playing video games could actually make this world a better place! This, I am sure would intrigue…since many of us have never perceived life and the bigger scheme of things as a ‘Big Game’ and neither have many of us tried the same strategies…zeal or enthusiasm to try and win it.

If most of us eventually come out victorious in video games…what really stops us from treating real life in the same light?

GMX – An e-mail service with a difference!

Here’s an e-mail service that has something different to offer…something that none of the heavyweights like Google, Yahoo or Microsoft have! Well, if that has caught your attention already…read on.

GMX or Global Mail Exchange is an email service that provides some very intuitive features…features that I would personally be quite interested in.

Here are the details of the features I liked!

Mail Aggregation: GMX provides a nifty mail collector feature which enables users to view and access their mails from multiple e-mail providers in a clean and aesthetic interface! This would be quite useful for people who have many e-mail accounts and want to view and manage their emails through a single yet powerful interface. No we are not talking MS Outlook here.

Big Attachments: GMX allows attachments of upto 50 MB in size! Best in class…indeed.

No Ads: GMX never scans e-mails for advertisement opportunities. Google could probably take a cue?

User Labs: GMX listens to its user base…not just to resolve and fix problems but also for great ideas its users have to offer to make this e-mail service even better.

All in all…its a great e-mail service that pleases and refreshes!

I strongly recommend it
