Photographer Vincent Fournier’s crisp, detached pictures of space facilities gives us a rare, stunning glimpse inside the World’s space programs, and straddle the divide between documentary and fantasy. See more.

IBM THINK Exhibit: a Review

If you’re like me, and in the habit of overconfidently wandering into a new neighborhood without consulting a map, the lead-in to IBM’s centennial exhibit may be hard to spot at first. En route, there’s the pristine square of Lincoln Center to get lost in, flanked by marbled and gilded institutions of New York’s cultural elite.

“Scotland Yard chose not to mount a formal inquiry. Instead a senior press officer contacted Brooks to ask for an explanation. She is understood to have told them they were investigating a report that Cook was having an affair with another officer, Jacqui Hames, the presenter of BBC Crimewatch. Yard sources say they rejected this explanation, because Cook had been married to Hames for some years; the couple had two children, then aged two and five; and they had previously appeared together as a married couple in published stories.”

The number we’re looking at is total paid digital subscribers to the NYT — not including print subscribers or people who get their digital subscription for free through some promotion. We’ll look at whatever public statement the NYT makes about that number…

Adam Laiacano: Re-organizing factors in ggplot2 plots:

adamlaiacano:

When you have a factor with many levels and want to see a histogram, it’s always more useful to see them sorted in some kind of order. An example of this is shown below:
labels <- c( rep("a", 100*rexp(1)), rep("b", 100*rexp(1)), rep("c", 100*rexp(1)), rep("d", 100*rexp(1)))

An updated look

Dark color schemes

effectortheme:

Effector 1.2

This update addresses a lot of issues discovered in the previous release and also comes with many new features and improvements. I’ll just get right to the list:

What’s new in 1.2?

Fixed the issue with embedded videos not scaling to fit. (Youtube iframe, flickr video, and several others)

All photos now scale to fit the entire post width

Random post icon should work now

A ‘No results found’ message’ now added to the empty search results page. Previously returned a broken page.

Greatly reduced the amount of template code. This should improve performance inside the customize panel.

Multiple layout sizes. 500px is now the default. Other options are 600px and 700px. Toggle 1 only!

Infinite Scrolling

Background color and image options.

Page elements should now blend nicely with background color changes. Use the new Invert option to convert elements to white.

Gave the fixed top bar a makeover and now has a slide down effect. Much more elegant now :)

Top bar can be inverted. (Turns black)

Notes and Disqus comments moved inside post containers.

Audio Posts now support descriptions and the external download link

Improved Twitter integration. Show your Screenname, name and bio with your tweets. Reply links and timestamps added to tweets

General typographic improvements

The Blog title, Pages and Search Box can now be placed in the sidebar or top bar.

Dedicated Banner image option

‘Logo image’ option changed to ‘Large Sidebar Portrait’.

Toggle Menu labels for Archive, Random, RSS, Submit, etc..

Changeable fonts

New Slider Photoset. Uses SlidesJS by Nathan Searles.

Using Handlebars.js logicless templating language to build photosets and tweets. Much faster now.

Original flash photosets can now be toggled

Social Icons larger now. New icons also added. See Docs for the whole list

Removed the dimming effect when hovering over photos. I admit, it was a bit distracting.

Slightly wider sidebar

That should cover most of it. You can read more about all the new options over at the Docs
