Google is now providing directions involving swimming the Atlantic Ocean.
And it tells me how to get from my office to Café Europa too...
Update: And after some rumors it's now officially supported to embed Google Maps the Youtube-way. See below. Via O'Reilly Radar.
I guess this won't work in your RSS-Reader, you'll have to view it on the original page (and admire its redesign btw).

Using Rhizome Navigation I analyzed the protagonist's relationships from the movie Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King. The size of a name relates to how many times it is mentioned within the movie script. The name positions are calculated by parsing the screenplay and analyzing which names appear close to each other in the text.
Some thoughts: Frodo and Sam are very close to each other (of course), and it's interesting that the two stand between Gollum and The Ring. Although Aragorn is linked to both Arwen and Eowyn, the relationship seems not very strong (when compared to Frodo/Sam and Gandalf/Pippin for example). Both women appear at the opposite end of the graph. The relationships Gandalf/Pippin and Frodo/Sam seem equally weighted. This could also be an indication how the main storylines of the scripts are weighted.
I'm looking forward to you interpretations.
More related stuff coming soon.
Rhizome Navigation is based on the wonderful processing.
As a sidenote: Plugin-Developer The Foundry now got its own compositing power-house: NUKE (acquired from D2).
...time will come where we'll have to say good-bye to Shake (at the moment one could still say good-buy).
Don't forget to have a close look at this year's NAB (April 14-19).

Update #1: Jonathan Harris is up to something. The name of the upcoming project implies that he could have joined Pinky & The Brain.
Update #2:
Theo Jansen creates skeletons which are able to walk on the wind.
Update #3: Jonathan Harris was up to something. Made me remember Rhizome.org's StarryNight. And I like none of them, because I can't stand the sky/star metaphor....you know, I still feel more comfortable with certain plants.
Update #4: Theo Jansen: The art of creating creatures (video)
