HOME: a film by Yann Arthus-Bertrand

Via @thelastminute:

In 200,000 years on Earth, humanity has upset the balance of the planet, established by nearly four billion years of evolution. The price to pay is high, but it’s too late to be a pessimist: humanity has barely ten years to reverse the trend, become aware of the full extent of its spoliation of the Earth’s riches and change its patterns of consumption.

More than a movie, HOME will be a major event all over the globe : for the first time ever, a film will be released on the same day in over 50 countries and on every format : movie theatres, TV, DVD and Internet.

On June 5th we all have a date with the planet !

I can’t stop watching this. Gotta love Jack Black as the most candid Jesus I’ve ever seen. And Neil Patrick Harris can effing sing.

Don’t let the word “Microsoft” scare you, this video shows some extremely well thought-out concepts. Plenty of multi-touch, e-ink, semantic data, telepresence and cloud computing to go around.

You can watch expanded clips at the end of the video embedded above, or watch the full-length version at the blog linked below.

Apocalyptic Condition 1 weather in Antarctica

Condition 1 weather in Antarctica is defined as wind speed greater than 55 knots (~63 mph), visibility less than 100 feet, and/or wind-chill worse than -100 F. Which is technical speak for the icy bowels of hell. Watch as she opens the door.
