San Francisco Before & After the 1906 Earthquake

Archival footage of a streetcar trip down Market Street in San Francisco shot in 1905 before the great earthquake and then again a year later in 1906 after the earthquake showing the massive destruction.

The footage is from the Prelinger Archives, edited together by edited by Matt Lake.

8-Bit Map of New York City

Brett Camper created an interactive 8-Bit Map of NYC using data from OpenStreetMap and now has a Kickstarter project to expand it to 15 other cities around the world.

I hope that these maps will evoke the same urge for exploration and abstract sense of scale that many of us remember experiencing on the Nintendo Entertainment System, the Commodore 64, or any other number of 8-bit microcomputers. Maps offer us visual architectures of the world, encouraging us to think about and interact with space in particularly constrained ways. Let’s set out on an 8-bit quest!

Anatomist Gunther von Hagens, who developed the Body Worlds exhibition of preserved human bodies, has plastinated a pair giant squid.

Previously, von Hagens has plastinated giraffes, elephants and humans, but a giant squid – with fragile skin, no skeleton for structural support and more body water to replace than any other attempt – posed some challenges for the controversial anatomist.
