“A 2D periodic array of self-assembled polystyrene spheres diffracting visible light on a mercury surface”
It is with great sadness that we confirm that musician, rapper, activist and director Adam “MCA” Yauch, founding member of Beastie Boys and also of the Milarepa Foundation that produced the Tibetan Freedom Concert benefits, and film production and distribution company Oscilloscope Laboratories, passed away in his native New York City this morning after a near-three-year battle with cancer. He was 47 years old. (click through for the rest)

If you head to Yosemite National Park this time of year and stop by Horsetail Fall at just the right time, you might see something spectacular: As the sun sinks low in the sky, the waterfall glows with streaks of gold and yellow — and it looks just like molten lava.
Photographers like Michael Frye flock to the park every February to try to capture the phenomenon.
“It’s this narrow ribbon of water falling from this high cliff, the eastern buttress of [the El Capitan rock formation],” he says. “Just that narrow little ribbon of water is lit and everything else around it is dark. And with the right light, that water can turn orange or even red.”
According to Frye, what makes Horsetail Fall so unique is its topography: The waterfall is perched high on an open cliff where it can catch light from the sunset — but not just any sunset.
“It’s this brief window of light around the third week of February where the sun sets at just the right angle to light Horsetail Fall just as it’s sinking,” Frye says.

Below is a repost of an older piece I authored over at Edelman’s clean technology blog that I think is still relevant reading. Many business people are shocked to learn that how you talk about your business is at times more important than what you say. The power of search, whether it is through Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, [...]

People play games for three billion hours a week. Do you know what they are doing for the other few billion hours? Working. These two activities, it turns out, might not be as far apart as business leaders may think. For companies trying to influence behavior, gaming mechanics are today’s hot trend. Is putting some points on a leaderboard the trick helping marketers motivate consumers to behave as they wish? Even though there is science behind the behavior and success to be found, game dynamics are a far cry from the silver bullet. Clear results from this trend are as hard to secure as the mayorship of the local diner. Foursquare, the trend’s poster child, is trying to distance the company from the concept. Not all companies can attach a game layer to their business plan, so what can game dynamics do for these companies on the path to sustainability? [...]

After learning of the 7.1 mag earthquake in New Zealand yesterday, I was reminded of a great post I read earlier this year, after the Haitian quake, that touches on the need for renewables such as solar and permaculture as a way to aid a faster recovery from natural disasters. ‘Solar setups are quick to [...]

After an adventurous week of helping two separate friends pack their apartments for cross-country moves, I found myself asking the same question over and over… chuck it or keep it? And after about the 100th time, I soon took initiative and just started throwing everything away. (Don’t worry, they’ll never miss the stuff!) While sifting [...]
