Morning fog
Morning fog shrouds the surface of Bear Pond and the valleys below
Evening winds stir the robes of a Tuareg striding across Algeria's Tassili-n-Ajjer.
Sunlight dapples the shoulders of Algonquin and Wright.
Once blighted by logging and industry, the region has undergone a renaissance of woods and waters.
On the Brink
Australian Jim Mitchell leaps off Ottawa Peak on Canada's Baffin Island while wearing a wing suit in April 2010.
He died weeks later when a jump from a nearby mountain went tragically awry.
The palette of the Adirondack forest shifts with the seasons.
In the delicate tracery of a viburnum leaf, summer’s green gives way to autumn’s red as chlorophyll fades and underlying pigments emerge.
Conifers green the crevices of Catamount Mountain while the forest below is in its last incandescence before winter. St. Regis Mountain.

For the Beer drinkers
Home beer-brewing is sort of like writing a novel - although you might like the idea of having done it,
the thought of all the work involved in doing it can be off-putting.
If the PR materials are to be believed, however, the WilliamsWarn brewing machine could
make the process a lot easier ... and quicker.
Unlike the four weeks required by most home brewing systems,
it can reportedly produce beer in just seven days.
The WilliamsWarn was created by New Zealand "beer-thinkers" Ian Williams and Anders Warn,
and was released in that country this April.
The duo claim that it addresses 12 of the key challenges thwarting many home brewers,
including the carbonation process, temperature control, and clarification.
Kind of like a Mr. Coffee (perhaps they should have called it "Mr. Beer"),
the machine reportedly incorporates all the hardware needed for brewing.
This includes a stainless steel pressure vessel with carbonation level control,
and systems to control factors such as clarification, sediment removal,
temperature, and gas dispensation. Last, but certainly not least,
it also features a draft dispense mechanism, for pouring out a glass
of the chilled "commercial quality" finished product.
Users spend about 90 minutes cleaning and sterilizing the system,
and adding supplied ingredients at the beginning of the process.
After that, minimal input is required until a week later, at which point 23 liters (6 U.S. gallons)
of beer should be ready for drinking. Part of the reason that it's able to make beer so quickly
is the fact that the carbonation and fermentation processes take place simultaneously.
The clarification process is also said to take no more than one day.
Bedphones ready to lull you to sleep
What you are seeing here aren't headphones, they're bedphones. Check the sides for the "bp" logo if you don't believe me. As you might have guessed, these bedphones are made for those people who just have to listen to music before they drift off to slumberland. Of course, it is somewhat difficult to sleep with a pair of headphones on. The bedphones, created by Eric Dubs, have "ear-hook style buds that are extremely thin and held in place by a length of moldable memory wire". In addition to these features, it also comes with an app that appears to only be available on the Android platform. According to the Android Market description, it comes with a "Smart Mode" that can shut the music automatically when you fall asleep. I honestly don't know how it does this, but it probably has to do with the accelerometer detecting movement. Also on the Android application is a "Timer Mode" which gradually counts down music volume down to zero as the timer runs down. Then there is the "Basic Mode" that turns the entire phone screen into a giant play/pause button. You should be able to get the Bedphones for about $30. |
