Every frame a painting

Hello !

Today, I would like to share with you a YouTube channel, called "Every frame a painting". It is a collection of short videos explaining image and movie techniques. I think the videoS are brilliant, and you really should watch them, because they are both entertaining and you will learn a lot. It will give you a better understanding of other films you will watch later on.

Here are some examples of what I am talking about :

You'll enjoy watching at least the first 10 minutes of this show about the "Not the Nine O'Clock News"... an interesting take on British humor (whoops... British "humour") and the early days of Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean).

Phone blocks - Project Ara

Yersterday, I presented in a short DEMO the Phone blocks project. I thought it would be interesting for my investors to see some images of what I spoke about.
The idea was to build a modular smartphone, called Phone Blocks. At the beginning, it was only a concept. But the persons that launched the idea got a lot of support. Now, this is a great project, led by huge companies such as Google and Motorola. The project is called "Ara".

You can watch these two short videos. The first one is about the concept, the second is about its current realisation.
It also answers some questions about design, and interest of such a phone, that were discussed yesterday.

dear Jade Mountain Wednesday students,

For the last 25 years demo.com has provided people with great ideas
(just like the Jade Mountain students) a venue and an occasion where they have 5 minutes to present their idea and for a cutting-edge service or product to a group of investors...  you can see a few of their demos below... (tomorrow it will be your turn to be an investor or a presenter).

we'll let Lama, Stephane, Giulia, Adele and Jin present, the rest of us will be the investors!

see you there
I hope you had a great vacation

Palatinate Online » Article » Debate: Is it worth voting at the general election? (No): "One should never forget that elections always result – whoever the winners and losers are – with pseudo-democracy. Democracy is a masquerade



because, in practice, our representatives are not really chosen by the people, and are certainly not the best of our people."



On the same site there's an article arguing the opposite side of our debate! have a look!

There's a general election in Britain on May 7th...  Is voting worth it???



I thought you might enjoy this... Just before your Rose presentations and your vacations!
