Stats Pr0n of the Day: U.S. Map of Hate Speech on Twitter

Since June 2012, Dr. Monica Stevens of Humboldt State University in California has been mapping more than 150,000 geotagged tweets that contain homophobic, racist or abliest language. The result is the Geography of Hate, an interactive map of the U.S. which reveals the hotspots of “hate tweets” across the country. A deeper analysis of the project is available at Floating Sheep.

matthen:

Disks moving in a square grid trace out an interesting pattern as they pass over a rotating wheel. Some traces appear to go towards the centre only to be flung back out, in some cases forming a sharp corner. A few of the traces form loops, as if there was also a force acting sideways rather than outwards. This demonstrates how the Centrifugal and Coriolis ‘forces’ appear to affect the motion of objects in a rotating frame. [making of video (new)] [more] [code]

So This Exists of the Day: Did you know McDonald’s has curly fries? Well they do — sort of. The twisty delights come attached with two rather inconvenient conditions:

They’re only available in the Philippines.

They’re only available for three weeks.

Book your trips now!

I would be in BIG trouble were these readily available.

Biomimicry Shoe by Marieka Ratsma x Kostika Spaho

Created using 3D printing, the idea for this shoe highlights the aesthetics and the shape of the bird skull, along with the characteristics of the lightweight, and highly-differentiated bone-structure within the cranium. Such structure requires less support-material, resulting in optimal efficiency, strength and elegance.

While it’s not being prescribed as a cure for seasonal affective disorder just yet, the Bright Blind is sure to lighten one’s spirit in dark, sad abodes and office spaces worldwide. Made of electroluminescent (EL) sheets, Makoto Hirahara’s Bright Blind simulates a window where none exists. The artificial blind functions in exactly the way you might guess; turn the plastic stick and control the brightness!

The Best Tequilas Under $25

Happy National Tequila Day! (Yes, that’s a thing.) We picked out the brands that will give you the best bang for your buck, so you can save that money for other things… like sunglasses. Or Advil. Happy Holidays.

Just picked up a bottle of Espolon yesterday. Have yet to try it but the label and unique bottle design were worth the purchase alone.

Easy Eye Drops is an eyedropper that enables one-handed applications of eye medicine.

It is easy and safe to use, comes in a variety of drops (even one that is called ‘artificial tears’) and is a 2012 IDEA Awards entry.

I desperately need this product! I have spent my entire life inopportunely blinking as soon is the drop falls.

thedailywhat:

Insane Olympic Opening Ceremony of the Day: What exactly are they planning, you ask? Everything. No really, everything.

The stage was designed by director Danny Boyle, and will include “a village cricket team, 12 horses, 10 chickens, 70 sheep, a model of Glastonbury Tor, two mosh pits, and the largest harmonically tuned bell in the world.”

But the fun doesn’t stop there, because it’s not an Opening Ceremony unless a 40-foot-tall Voldemort does battle with 30 Mary Poppinses.

Per Gawker:

Before 40-foot-Voldemort appears, ‘about 100′ children will be wheeled out on hospital beds to perform a choreographed ‘bed dance,’ which sounds quite sexy but probably is not.

To these one hundredish beds will be added a dozen more ‘giant’ ones, on which will dance/frolic/be such beloved storybook characters as The One Hundred and One Dalmatians’ dog-skinning villain Cruella de Vil.

Apparently this insanity is all just the tip of the iceberg, too. In an attempt to top China’s terrifying show of synchronicity from 2008, the U.K. has thrown every single British thing against the wall in hopes of something sticking.

Yeah, we’ll be watching the hell out of this.

Introducing The Leap

The Leap is a small iPod sized USB peripheral that creates a 3D interaction space of 8 cubic feet to precisely interact with and control software on your laptop or desktop computer. It’s like being able to reach into the computer and pull out information as easily as reaching into a cookie jar. The Leap senses your individual hand and finger movements independently, as well as items like a pen. In fact, it’s 200x more sensitive than existing touch-free products and technologies. It’s the difference between sensing an arm swiping through the air and being able to create a precise digital signature with a fingertip or pen.

Watch how it works below:

meaghano:

Isn’t it amazing that we still say we, “x out of” something? When a friend asks you for a link: “Oh, I already x-ed out.” Someone over your shoulder guiding you through downloading an app: “Okay, X out of this —.”

There are other ways to say it, but this way is the best. This way has stuck. Even…
