[monochrom] Smart grids: home energy management
Weblogsky reports: Coming soon: better tools for monitoring and regulating power consumption in the home. Power companies will be able to cue us...to make choices about when and how we consume power. And most likely, we'll have our computers and appliances carry out those decisions for us. It's not just that we're managing power efficiency with smart tools, but we're doing it interactively with feedback to and from the energy provider. http://weblogsky.com/2008/05/smart_grids_home_energy_manage.htmlLink -- Posted By johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2008/05/smart-grids-home-energy-management.htmmonochrom at 5/19/2008 04:08:00 PM
[monochrom] Doom all pixels! Photoshop disasters!
The great blog Photoshop disasters collects... well... Have you seen a truly awful piece of Photoshop work? Clumsy manipulation, senseless comping, lazy cloning and thoughtless retouching are our bread and butter. And yes, deep down, we love Photoshop. http://photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com/Link -- Posted By johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2008/05/doom-all-pixels-photoshop-disasters.htmmonochrom at 5/20/2008 02:45:00 PM
[monochrom] Times = tough / Music = soft
When times get tough, as in America during the Great Depression and the Second World War, music gets soft. The times, surveys say, are once again tough, and they're likely to stay that way. A sustained period of stylistic regression is thus a possibility. But there is no law that says history has to repeat itself in an endless loop. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/music/la-ca-complexity18-2008may18,0,908523.story?track=rssLink -- Posted By johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2008/05/times-tough-music-soft.htmmonochrom at 5/20/2008 02:55:00 PM

[monochrom] Christian Wackos Galore: The Skoptsy
The Skoptsy were a secret sect of Christianity in imperial Russia. The Skoptsy are best known for practicing castration of men and removal of women's breasts in accordance with their teachings against sexual lust. The movement originated as an offshoot of the sect known as the People of God and was first noted in the late eighteenth century. The Skoptsy were persecuted by the imperial government and later by the Soviet Union, but enjoyed substantial growth before fading into obscurity by the mid-twentieth century. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkoptsyLink (via http://twitter.com/lfodemon/statuses/815721905lfodemon) -- Posted By johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2008/05/christian-wackos-galore-skoptsy.htmmonochrom at 5/20/2008 03:15:00 PM
