As we move towards an electricity grid made up of renewable energy, it’s a good idea to see from where that energy is going to come. Some places in the country are more naturally suited towards generating certain kinds of power; it’s much sunnier in the southwest and windier in the Great Plains. Click here to see our latest Transparency, a look at the rankings of the lower 48 states based on their potential to produce hydro, wind, and solar power.

Sketchnote of brief presentations as part of the NIST Technology Maturation Acceleration Program. The format was similar to "Shark Tank". And as a special bonus, I got to draw Predator (one of the projects involved IR sensing).
Week 11's theme is Technology and this is a shot of an 8gb memory stick for my old Macbook Pro which was brand new in 2012 and did me proud for nearly a full decade. I did upgrade the ram to 16gb, popped in a 500gb ssd to extend it's life and it finally died when the battery became swollen and cracked the trackpad! So, salvaging the ram and the photo is on the new macbook air :-) Seems fitting.
memcached is an open source distributed memory caching system originally created by Danga Interactive for LiveJournal, now used by many high-volume Internet sites, including Facebook, Wikipedia, Slashdot, and Digg among others. according to Facebook, they are now head of the dev branch and contribute much of the new updates.
My kindle, only owned by me for less than a month, is now being "borrowed" by my daughter, in the same way that she "borrows" the computer. She also uses my mobile phone on a regular basis to play games, she's more than competent on the Wii and and using the V+ box to record endless repeats of whatever the current favourite programme is.
She is definately a child of the 21st century and I wonder how out of date my kindle will seem in 20 years time when she is an adult. Will she look at it in much the same way we now remember a spectrum ZX81?

Technology... is a queer thing. It brings you great gifts with one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other.---C.P. Snow, New York Times, 15 March 1971.

Lewis Mumford, KBE (October 19, 1895 – January 26, 1990) was an American historian, sociologist, philosopher of technology, and literary critic. Particularly noted for his study of cities and urban architecture, he had a broad career as a writer. Mumford was influenced by the work of Scottish theorist Sir Patrick Geddes and worked closely with his associate the British sociologist Victor Branford Mumford was also a contemporary and friend of Frank Lloyd Wright, Clarence Stein, Frederic Osborn, Edmund N. Bacon, and Vannevar Bush.
Mumford believed that what defined humanity, what set human beings apart from other animals, was not primarily our use of tools (technology) but our use of language (symbols). He was convinced that the sharing of information and ideas amongst participants of primitive societies was completely natural to early humanity, and had obviously been the foundation of society as it became more sophisticated and complex. He had hopes for a continuation of this process of information “pooling” in the world as humanity moved into the future. Mumford's choice of the word "technics" throughout his work was deliberate. For Mumford, technology is one part of technics. Using the broader definition of the Greek tekhne, which means not only technology but also art, skill and dexterity, technics refers to the interplay of a social milieu and technological innovation—the "wishes, habits, ideas, goals" as well as "industrial processes" of a society. As Mumford writes at the beginning of Technics and Civilization, "other civilizations reached a high degree of technical proficiency without, apparently, being profoundly influenced by the methods and aims of technics."

Look into all your resources. Your teachers will be able to give you great advice and help you look for an internship. Many advisors are able to help as well. Job fairs are important to go to as well and they are held throughout the year and focus on different on majors. Workshops are held to help develop skills needed in order to get a job, such as how to take an interview and how to write a résumé and a cover letter. The Career Services Department is always there to help and advise any student.

The instruction of artisans in drawing, painting, modeling, and designing, that they may successfully apply the principles of Art to the requirements of trade and manufacture. Second. The systematic training of students in the practice of Art, in order that they may understand its principles, give instruction to others, or become artists. Third. The general advancement of public Art Education, by the exhibition of works of Art and of Art school studies, and by lectures on Art. TECHSTYLE HAUS is first and foremost a learning tool. By choosing to work with textiles, we are inevitably challenging conventional architectural practices and approaching homebuilding with a fresh perspective. This challenge has encouraged us to consider the problem with playful and willing minds and has given us the opportunity to invent new solutions to old problems.

this picture kind of reminds me of EPCOT in the whole futuristic section. you know... where the big golf ball is? well, at first glance, it looks so crisp and clean. typical new-age (almost futuristic looking) technology. but if you look closer,its a filthy mess. all of the corners packed with disgustingness that the workers just sweep behind in the mornings since they're too lazy.this picture goes right along with their laziness, quite proudly.if you look closely, my ipod has a food smudge on the screen, the keys are kind of dirty, and the screen of the laptop is filthy... this whole mess was, of course, my fault for deciding to "myspace" right after lunch. savvy?
Technology appears to be a never-ending road with which we have embarked upon. Compared to our parents and our parent's parents, many of us think we have it so much easier due to computers, videos, DVD's and electronic toys. But with obesity growing at a dangerously high rate especially in our children, one has to ask; is technology a friend or foe?
Teachers, parents and members of the community visit the library of the Simonsen Ninth Grade Center for the Constitutional Rights Museum on Friday, Nov. 14, 2014, in Columbia, Mo. Students in the business management and technology academy led the presentations. The academy clusters, offered for the first time this year, allow Simonsen students to shape their education experience by selecting a designated interest area. "Their enthusiasm has gone up now that they're grouped with students in similar interest areas," Amanda Aspey said, one of the two organizers of the Constitutional Rights Museum.
