REGENERATION - THE NEW FILM FROM STS9!

STS9....musicians, artists, activists and now, film makers. There is NO mold for this group of gentelmen. They continue to push the boundaries of labels and expectations. There really seems to be no fear. Only Love.

Jonny Depp's Eco Island

"Apparently Johnny Depp bought an island for around $3,000,000 a while back. And, since there aren't exactly power lines running to the tiny island, he had to figure out how to power his (ridiculously posh) home. For the green-minded Depp, diesel generators just weren't an option.

So he turned to Mike Strizki to help him build a system that would produce enough power to quench his celebrity-born thirst for decadence while not throwing off massive amounts of greenhouse gas. The result is a solar system that stores excess energy as hydrogen for use at night, or during cloudy times of day (not too common in the Bahamas, but still.)"

Virtual Moonwalk...Seriously

Man..I fucking love Google. They've just relaunched Google Moon with "Street View" on-surface panoramic NASA photos from the astronaut's perspective. Google's Lat Long blog explains:
"This update brings higher-resolution map imagery, text search, and photos and stories from every Apollo landing. We even included Street View-style panoramas of the moon's surface, taken by the Apollo astronauts ... something you won't see anywhere else. And last but certainly not least, we tossed in scientific charts that are good enough for actual mission planning and science classrooms alike."

uh...cool
