BEYOND GLASS


If the concept of augmented reality always freaked you out and Google Project Glass is already freaking you out, than you should avoid to watch the following futuristic short by Eran May-raz and Daniel Lazo or you will probably freak out.
Avoid also furnitures and elegant people.

0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 . . .


The Fibonacci sequence is named after Leonardo of Pisa, aka Fibonacci, although the sequence had been described earlier in Indian mathematics in connection with Sanskrit prosody.
In the West, the Fibonacci sequence first appears in the book Liber Abaci (1202), where Fibonacci considers the growth of an idealized and biologically unrealistic rabbit population, assuming that: a newly born pair of rabbits, one male, one female, are put in a field; rabbits are able to mate at the age of one month so that at the end of its second month a female can produce another pair of rabbits; rabbits never die and a mating pair always produces one new pair (one male, one female) every month from the second month on. The puzzle that Fibonacci posed was: how many pairs will there be in one year?
At the end of the each month, the number of pairs of rabbits is equal to the number of new pairs plus the number of pairs alive last month. This is the Fibonacci sequence, which is intimately connected with the golden ratio.
Applications include computer algorithms such as the Fibonacci search technique and the Fibonacci heap data structure, and graphs called Fibonacci cubes. They also appear in biological settings,such as branching in trees, Phyllotaxis (the arrangement of leaves on a stem), the fruit spouts of a pineapple, the flowering of artichoke, an uncurling fern and the arrangement of a pine cone.

CONCRETE CHANNELS

An action movie can't be labeled as a proper one without featuring at least one breath taking chase sequence.
One of my all time favourite is from Terminator 2: Judgment Day. John Connor gets on his furious 125cc and starts the run from the Trucker-1000, and then the gov'nor decides to spice it up by jumping in the mayhem via his chopper and shotgun giving to the spectator that overwhelming feeling called adrenaline rush.
Today, thanks to oddballanimations, we go back into the good old flood control channels, this time with more horse power and in a computer generated post-apocalyptic world. Fasten your seatbelts.
