Our Earth as Art

by

I love maps and I love imagery… recall I recently added a historical map of Florida and a cool Landsat Image of Colorado to my collection hanging on the wall. Here’s another fabulous resource I’d like to share with others interested in some fantastic eco-friendly art… “Our Earth as Art” from the NASA serves up some amazing images to users, complete with description and metadata. Browse the collection, click on an image and download a high-res, printer-friendly version of the poster (TIFF), suitable for framing. A large selection of Landsat images and ASTER data are available… see http://earthasart.gsfc.nasa.gov and click on a Continent to start.

Mobile Industry Review and Donate to Win

by

Yes indeed, it is much better to give than to receive and our friends over at MIR want to remind everyone about that… also, they are encouraging others to give by offering up some great prizes in return for your generosity… a nice touch to kick off the holiday festivities. The group is encouraging small donations from individuals and companies to a couple of select charities (Childline and the UN Foundation) and will put everyone that donates into a drawing for a number of very cool mobile devices that they have accumulated over the year – See more on Donate to Win here
