So, some may be impressed by the fact that honda built on of the largest LED screens in the world out of headlights in the desert, I, on the other hand, love their invasion of Vimeo’s interface.

“OhBoyObama! is the grassroots think tank of the Obama administration. Created by Obama supporters during the general election of 2008, this forum now serves as an online sounding board for those who have ideas or suggestions about how the administration can lead us to become “a more perfect union.”

These types of efforts combined with the Obama administration’s approached to transparent government and community contributions to legislation are great steps towards a more digital democracy

London at Night

A set of aerial photographs by Jason Hawkes featured on Boston.com’s “The Big Picture”.
These shots were taken from a twin-engine helicopter using two separate gyro stabilizing mounts, mounted together into one larger mount to get the stability required for incredibly crisp images.

“I have specialized in aerial photography from helicopters for 19 years so am used to the other difficulties, i.e. cramped and very noisy condition. You fly with the door of the helicopter open wearing a headset to direct the pilot. In daylight without a mount you have to shoot at 1000 sec because of the vibration caused by the rotor blades, so having to shoot at very low shutter speeds at night it takes quite a while to change your habits in order to correctly use the gyro. Flying over cities you need a twin engined helicopter that costs £1100 ( GBP ) per hour, so its a very expensive technique to perfect.”
