Taking Notes
A stop motion epic that also illustrates (no pun intended) that there are many methods to learning.

The latest winners of the Military Photographer of the Year competition, via foreignpolicy.com:
"As fewer Americans serve in the armed forces, the difficulty of translating the experience of military service to a wider public becomes increasingly challenging. But sometimes a picture tells a thousand words, as in this selection of winners from the 2011 Military Photographer of the Year competition, which was recently judged at the Defense Information School at Ft. George G. Meade, Maryland. Combat photography began in earnest during the Civil War, when President Abraham Lincoln commissioned Mathew Brady to document the war, eventually leading to an invaluable trove of photographs used by generations of historians. Today, hundreds of U.S. military photographers, videographers, and artists continue to document armed services activities around the world. These photos were chosen from thousands of entries and adhere to the same standards as photojournalism (meaning no posed or electronically manipulated images)."

That's Fly
To celebrate RNL's Greenweek and this year's theme; FutureForward, funday blog presents to you this: flying autonomous builder robots. These little guys are even aspiring musicians, playing this version of the James Bond theme song at last week's TED conference. Funday would like a fleet of these to build our projects piece by piece, 24 - 7, no tower cranes, anywhere we want without disturbing the neighbors.
