3 - Man films 50,000 bees being removed and saved from his walls

Ryan Nance July 17, 2012

That he decided to film the whole thing is pretty phenomenal. I guess that as far as insect infestations go, a bee hive is the one I'd choose.​

This entire process took about 5 hours. I was sick so sorry if I sound annoying! If you are in the Los Angeles area you can contact Mike at mikebee1769@yahoo.com You can contact me at Larry@speedhunters.com

5 - The World is Where We Live [video]

Ryan Nance July 17, 2012

Pairing images together is a little bit like writing an analogy. Pairing videos together is like writing a metaphor: the points of comparison bleed almost entirely together. 

The World Wildlife Foundation has this new promo video which clearly is interested in removing the barriers in our own thinking between the world and the natural world.​

We are all connected. Find out how at http://myworld.panda.org/.

Ryan Nance March 21, 2011

Putting modern affectations in their place.

2. History of the World (according to Wikipedia) in 100 secs

Many wikipedia articles have coordinates. Many have references to historic events. Me (@godawful) and Tom Martin (@heychinaski) cross referenced the two to create a dynamic visualization of Wikipedia's view of world history. Watch as empires fall, wars break out and continents are discovered. This won "Best Visualization" at Matt Patterson's History Hackday in January, 2011. To make it, we parsed an xml dump of all wikipedia articles (30Gb) and pulled out 424,000 articles with coordinates and 35,000 references to events. Cross referencing these produced 15,500 events with locations. Then we mapped them over time. More information and datasets: http://www.ragtag.info/2011/feb/2/history-world-100-seconds/

5. What would you do for $5?

Fiverr is one of the more interesting micro-jobs boards. You get to propose a $5 gig, and people get to hire you to do it. Have fun.
