Alone yet strong

Alone yet strong, originally uploaded by hitkaiser.

It’s been a while since I haven’t featured Nottingham on the site so here goes…

Took this shot on a lazy sunday, the market square was quite alive; kids playing, tourists snapping and the locals enjoying the (rare) sun. It isn’t very common for Brits to dress up like this man (anymore), but it is still very common in Spain so for a moment I felt as if I was back home.

Neanderthal Episode 1 (Discovery Channel) Part 1/4 HD

23 Sep

Please Subscribe To The WhyEvolutionIsTrue Youtube Channel. www.youtube.com Discovery Channel Documentary List: tinyurl.com Broadcast (2001) Neanderthal was the story of the rise and fall of one of the most successful human species that ever lived. A species that survived for over a quarter of a million years, living through and adapting to the most violent extremes of climate. A species that thrived – until modern man came along. This revealing two-part drama documentary combined the latest scientific research with a stunning mixture of drama and cutting edge 3D animation to reconstruct the lives of these remarkable early humans. In the second part, the advanced Cro-Magnons arrive and a new Ice Age is dawning. Cro-Magnons and Neanderthals coexisted on Earth until competition drove one of them to extinction. This program, set in the southwest of France 35000 years ago, uses re-creations of cinematic proportions to reconstruct life in the Neanderthal world at the time Cro-Magnons first entered the scene. All aspects of Neanderthal clan life are examined, including tool- and weapon-making, hunting and gathering, health and healing, childbirth, rituals, and making fire. Footage of skeletal remains and the scholarly research of eminent paleontologist Chris Stringer and Oxford University’s Paul Pettitt support the documentary.

Nikon Announces Nikon 1 Mirrorless Cameras

23 Sep


…with a proprietary hot shoe. Oh, and a teeny tiny chip, too. It’ll take your DSLR lenses, with only a 2.7x crop factor.

Really, Nikon? Clearly this thing is not a replacement for a DSLR. But what does it compete with? I use an iPhone (and a Canon G-series) for everything else.

Really hard to understand what they were thinking on this. My thoughts pretty much echo those of Charlie Sorrel at Gadget Lab.
