You can call it post apocalyptic scenario, or ghost town on a large scale, or just another disgrace of mankind: it's The Salton Sea, a shallow, saline, endorheic rift lake located directly on the San Andreas Fault, and one of the world's largest inland seas and lowest spots on earth (-227 below sea level).

If get asked about who the father of personal computers is, most of people may probably name Conrad Zuse, or Bill Gates and his early mentor Ed Roberts. Well if we focus on the word "personal", they could be wrong.
Yesterday Jack Tramiel, The Polish-born American businessman best known for founding Commodore International passed away at the age of 83, and he's probably the one who we should point our finger at. His life is an extraordinary example of initiative, commitment and work ethic.
After the German invasion of Poland in 1939 his family was transported by German occupiers to the Jewish ghetto in Łódź, where he worked in a garment factory. When the ghettos were liquidated his family was sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp.
In November 1947, Tramiel emigrated to the United States. He soon joined the U.S. Army, where he learned how to repair office equipment, including typewriters.
In 1955, Tramiel signed a deal with a Czechoslovak company to assemble and sell their typewriters in North America. However, as Czechoslovakia was part of the Warsaw Pact, they could not be imported directly into the U.S., so Tramiel set up Commodore Business Machines in Toronto. Tramiel wanted a military-style name for his company, but names like Admiral and General were already taken, so he settled on the Commodore name.
When Commodore released its first calculators, combining an LED display from Bowmar and an integrated circuit from Texas Instruments it found a ready market, but one day their lead designer, Chuck Peddle, told Tramiel that calculators were a dead end and computers were the future, so he was told to build one to prove the point.
Peddle responded with the Commodore PET, based on his company's MOS Technology 6502 processor. It was nothing but an instant success.
As prices dropped and the market matured, the monochrome (green text on black screen) PET was at a disadvantage in the market when compared to machines like the Apple II and Atari 800, which offered color graphics, and could be hooked to a television as an inexpensive display. Commodore responded with the VIC-20, the first personal computer to sell one million units, and then with the Commodore 64, which with several million units sold would go on to be the best-selling home computer of all time. It was during this time period that Tramiel coined the famous phrase, "We need to build computers for the masses, not the classes."
Fortunately this is not the Rainbow Road (the sickest racetrack in the history of racing games) but something much more enjoyable: it's Olafur Eliasson's highly anticipated new installation 'Your Rainbow Panorama', set to open to the public on may 28th.
The permanent elevated structure provides a 360º view of the city of århus, Denmark. Suspended between the city and the sky, the viewing platform insists on the sensory engagement of those who enter it.
The continuously circular pathway sits on top of and proportionality compliments the ARoS museum of art, designed by schmidt hammer lassen in 2007. measuring 150 meters around, the transparent glass unit is designed to act as a visual compass for the city, its colors marking the physical location of each visitor.
Representing every color in the spectrum, the design looks to enter into a cohesive dialogue between the exiting architecture and the surrounding city. virtually erasing the boundaries between indoors and out, the encompassing environment aims to question the comfortable limits for which people are accustomed to moving.
enveloped in the rainbow-like atmosphere, the user produces afterimages in hues complimentary to the colors that surround them, altering and defining the perception of the city that lies below.
We already put to your attention the unbleieveble sound knowledge of the London based duo C90s. We hate to talk about the same artist more than once, but their last mixtape is such an ensamble of epic vibes that we had no choice but to share it.
Have a funky weekend everyone.

A small company named Google today made a big time rumor official: Project Glass is on its way to our society, which is as cool for its pure hi-tech aspect, as scary for many others.
Mankind prepare to be like space insectoids: a big organized and interconnected collective under total control of the hive mind.
"We think technology should work for you—to be there when you need it and get out of your way when you don’t.
A group of us from Google[x] started Project Glass to build this kind of technology, one that helps you explore and share your world, putting you back in the moment. We’re sharing this information now because we want to start a conversation and learn from your valuable input. So we took a few design photos to show what this technology could look like and created a video to demonstrate what it might enable you to do."
Ridley Scott is back and fortunately it's not for a remake, but for a prequel named Prometheus, starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Green and the lovely Charlize Theron. It's the prequel of all prequels... it's the prequel of the Alien saga. The only things that we acknowledged from the trailer is that a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe
Tell you what i will do on the 8th of June: I'll grab a huge bucket of popcorns and shut down my phone for a couple of hours. What about that.
Riusuke Fukahori's London debut exhibition "Goldfish Salvation" transforms ICN gallery into the world of goldfish. When struggling with artistic vision, Fukahori's pet goldfish became his inspiration and ever since his passion and lifelong theme. His unique style of painting uses acrylic on clear resin which is poured into containers, resulting in a three-dimensional appearance and lifelike vitality.
Cast in a variety of vessels - from large sushi basins to the hollow insides of black bamboo - these kind of "living sculptures" are a delicate balance between painting and sculpture. The artist's meticulous attention to detail coupled with the tedious nature of the style creates highly dynamic three-dimensional pieces that capture the delicacy and animated nature of the fish.
