Nigel Holmes

Nigel Holmes is a brilliant graphic artist who does explanatory diagrams, icon design, maps, charts, etc. His kind of work is what helps you find your way around a transit system when you don't speak the language, or gives you wordless instructions how to survive a plane crash. The genius is in the simplicity of it. He has some samples on his Web site, which is also brilliantly simple to understand and navigate.

Can This Black Box See Into the Future?

via Red Nova news

DEEP in the basement of a dusty university library in Edinburgh lies a small black box, roughly the size of two cigarette packets side by side, that churns out random numbers in an endless stream.


At first glance it is an unremarkable piece of equipment. Encased in metal, it contains at its heart a microchip no more complex than the ones found in modern pocket calculators.

But, according to a growing band of top scientists, this box has quite extraordinary powers. It is, they claim, the 'eye' of a machine that appears capable of peering into the future and predicting major world events.

Find lost friends

Lost Friends: "Lostfriends.org is a non-commercial international people finder database aimed at helping people to find lost friends or lost relatives.
It is an entirely free service without commercial, religious or political affiliations of any kind.
Please feel free to use it, and please also recommend it to your friends. The more people who know about it and use it, the better your chances of finding your lost friends.
And don't forget to look from time to time to see if anyone is trying to reach you!
IMPORTANT. If you see that someone is looking for someone you know, please only tell the person who is being looked for and not the person who is looking for them. Some people do not want to be found, and that is their right.
Good luck with your search!"
