These are glorious. It's fun to play "guess the theme"...

Dan sez, "Danish photographer Peter Funch stakes New York City street corners out for two weeks at a time, taking pictures of passersby from the very same spot. He then uses Photoshop to composite the results into single images. I love the mass of yawners."

Peter Funch (Thanks, Dan!)

Video: Car + 650mph rocket sled = 650mph rocket sled - car

Apr 13 ‘09

Incidentally this reminds me of a great pick-up line: “Hey, ladies, which of the Mythbusters do I most resemble.” Great way to break the ice.

In this clip, the MBusters try to “fuse” a car first by crushing it with two trucks and then with a rocket sled. The result? Powdered car. Watch and learn.

Here are some from yesterday’s Bring Your Own Big Wheel race down Vermont Street. The event was in jeopardy of being shut down, but was able to proceed due to some last minute negotiations between the race organizers and the city of San Francisco.

high five!

S4 - Super Simple Storage Service

Apr 12 ‘09
Shared by Joseph
The sad thing is I had to read for quite a while before deciding whether or not this is a joke. The answer: you decide!

Another cloud storage solution? Hardly.

While storage in the cloud becomes increasingly commonplace, the market need for a new paradigm, with additional speed, security, and reliability is paramount.

Many of our competitors employ an old fashioned read/write interface.

Our competitors:

S4's state-of-the-art write-only interface removes the headaches commonly associated with reading data.

S4:

More Secure:
Because of our strict write-only design, S4 is the only service that has provable data-at-rest security. In fact, we leverage our own high-security system to illustrate this proof, available here.

More Horsepower:
Our market research indicates the average customer reads data FOUR TIMES more often than writing. By not only reducing but eliminating entirely these spurious operations we can provide blazingly fast writes with a near 100% success rate.

More Integrated:
Consuming S4 is a snap with advanced integration options. Upload directly from our website, send an email, tweet your content, or simply yell in an empty room. Engineers can easily interact with our API via SOAP, REST, and YouTube comment - where they're guaranteed never to be read.
Imagine the convenience of enabling your customers to open help tickets, provide feedback, add feature requests directly to your shared, read-proof store.

pricing

S4's best in the business pricing features our exclusive S4 storage for only $1 per TERABYTE per month.

Compare S4's pricing to other storage providers:

  S4 Amazon's S3 3.5" floppies Abacuses
Storage per Terabyte $1 $153 $211,172† $1.83 x 1012
1,000 PUT/POST Requests Free! $0.01 Included Finger soreness
10,000 GET Requests N/A $0.01 Included Eye strain
† Based on 1.44MB per "High Density" floppy at a cost of $0.29 per floppy
‡ Based on 6 bytes of data stored per abacus at a cost of $10 per abacus

The chart below illustrates the comparative cost of various storage options based on a typical usage scenario of:

  • Storage Used: 4TB
  • PUT/POST Requests: 50 billion
  • GET Requests: 0

examples

The applications built on top of S4 are as innovative as the service itself - providing value to end users while saving your business time and money.

Key Scenarios

  • Customer complaint database
  • Covert government document storage
  • SETI@home output recorder
  • Personal diary entries
  • Unpublished manuscripts
