Once in a Blue Moon Reading Update

I will admit I have been slacking in this area and I do apologize. However, as always, I have been saving up all my articles for one gigantic reading update. Without further ado, lets get started.

First up, Bill Gates' recent talk at TED on climate change.

Next, an article from Scientific American on how the stimulus bill has helped renewable energy.

Interesting article from Smashing Magazine on color theory in relation to web design.

Fascinating data viz article from NYTimes on Netflix movies/geographic correlations.

As a stock trader, I find this very interesting, especially with my interest in movies.

Once again, governments failing to do the right thing. Japan says it will ignore the international ban on Bluefin Tuna, which is says are not that endangered.  Ridiculous.

Good thing I haven't bought my chemistry book for Stanford yet. A new element, Copernicum was discovered recently. Pretty cool.

Bloom Energy promises to be the next big thing in energy. Lets hope so.

This is honestly, one of the best videos I have seen in a long time in terms of changing my thinking in regards to online games and the future of technology in general. I recommend watching the whole thing, but if you are short on time, skip to about half way through. 

Interesting article at WSJ about the fight between wind and natural gas in Texas.

While you can find the full version of this film on Youtube, I would encourage you to purchase it. It is the Best Animated Short Film for this year called Logorama. It is fantastic. Trailer below.

 Human Body as a subway map infographic.

A long but interesting article on whether the U.S. produces too many scientists.

This video is slightly unbelievable. It shows the new content fill in the next Photoshop. This would help enormously with panoramas that I create, as shown in the video.

 This is why fiber to all of our libraries, schools, and hospitals is important. Ars Technica.
