As Space Station Nears Completion, It Faces End of Mission -
http://digg.com/space/As_Space_Station_Nears_Completion_It_Faces_End_of_Mission
A number of times in recent weeks a bright, unblinking light has appeared in the night sky of the nation's capital: a spaceship. Longer than a football field, weighing 654,000 pounds, the spaceship moved swiftly across the heavens and vanished.

http://digg.com/tech_news/Rural_Broadband_More_Jobs_Better_Salaries_INFOGRAPHIC
Rural counties that get on the broadband bandwagon see more and better-paying jobs, a new USDA report says. But high-speed Internet penetration in the countryside still lags behind cities by big percentages.

Cover creation
After working on the latest cover for Macworld Magazine I wanted to show what is involved in making a cover. I focused on the three main areas: the photography, photoshop and design. I chose a time lapse format to convey lots of information in a small amount of time. The only drawback of time lapse is that since half a day goes by in 30 seconds, the whole process seam so easy! Lots of details were left out of the design process (like the cover meetings and rounds of layout options). I began to photograph the design process after the layouts had already been narrowed down to just three cover designs.
On the technical side, for the time lapse video, I used the Canon 5D Mark II with a 24mm-70mm zoom. I chose the 5D because of its great image quality with high ISO's. Canon's sRAW1 gave me the flexibility of a RAW file with the file size of a jpeg. The actual Macworld cover was taken with a Phase One P65+ digital back attached to a 4x5 Sinar X camera with a 65mm lens.
Many thanks to Rob Schultz for allowing me to invade his office and literally shoot over his shoulder.

13 Worst Career Moves in Hip-Hop History
http://digg.com/music/13_Worst_Career_Moves_in_Hip_Hop_History
Pesky decisions swarm us daily in life, like a troop of blind killer bees. Most of us just swat them with the slipshod petulance of a dog’s tail. But our hip-hop heroes know better, because when it comes to running a career into the ground or digging a hole bigger than the U.S. deficit, no one knows better than rappers.

La Cápsula invitada al conversatorio de los 9 años de ALTAIR
http://www.lacapsula.com/2009/08/05/la-capsula-invitada-al-conversatorio-de-los-9-anos-de-altair/
Este jueves 6 de agosto durante la celebración de los 9 años de ALTAIR se va a realizar el conservatorio “¿Qué sabés sobre Creative Commons?” en el MAMM moderado por Carolina Botero. El evento se puede ver en directo en el sitio web de ALTAIR. Los invitados somos: El nuiton, Series Media y La Cápsula. ALTAIR piensa este conversatorio como un espacio de diálogo para compartir un contexto general de los derechos de autor y Creative Commons como alternativa de licenciamiento que ha sido adoptada por algunos proyectos culturales de Medellín y Colombia. Se trata de un espacio tranquilo de conversación, reflexión y, posiblemente, aprendizaje, sobre la posibilidad de conservar los derechos sobre obras y creaciones al tiempo que se pueden compartir y se puede aclarar y facilitar el acceso de otras personas a las mismas.
Enlace recomendado: Entrevista a Juliana Restrepo, Directora del MAMM.
