The creator of this art name it Society, on the bottom left corner there is a little caption, "Bigger Fish Eat the Little Ones"

I am not sure why, but something inside make me like this dark piece of whatever very much. Maybe it illustrates a certain aspect of us so well that we just cannot denial.

This is a diagram of D-day over Normandy. It includes code name of every deployment; how many ships, troops, and planes were deployed; and how many bunkers were guarding the beach of Normandy. This sure helps when you are watching Band of Brothers.

UN and Google on telling us Earth is dying

It is a Google map mash-up with national greenhouse gas inventory and Kyoto Protocol data to display toxic emissions in industrialized nations. It's aim, to deter nation's policy on green house effect, and hopefully, also change public opinion on Global Warming. In short, to convince us that Earth is dying in our own hand, in this century, if not in the next 50 years.

Tech of Warring dynasty recreates?

My son, with his sister were riding on this self propel mechanical camel at zoo. I watch as the mech beast made fascinating moves. It reminds me of Zhuge Liang (诸葛亮) from Romance of the 3 Kingdoms. You see, he invented automatic horses and cows as logistic transport during his invasion. They are call 木牛流马.

Human will stop progressing or not?

I read this news that said several Scientists discover new evidence which leads to believe that dinosaur was at their evolution peak. Which means human ancestor didn’t come from Jurassic park. I guess that is why we can’t get along with each other. (Link)

Map of exact history

Here is a great map of history from this article which tells the world what happened. The rest are just misleading. Never entirely trust what others said, they got it from what others have “said”.

I who fell

I just love this poem from Mr Xanana Gusmão so much, I share it here.

A Fighter Who Fell

High on the mountain peaks of Timor
The grass grows
And warms the fractured bones
Of a fighter who fell.

Down on the grassy plains of Timor
A flower shows
And beautifies the bones
Of a fighter who fell

This is the hopeful life that grows
From life’s release
The life that every woman knows
Who calls for peace
With every waking breath
But not the peace of death.

Throughout the peaks and plains of Timor
The life-blood flows
And animates the bones
Of the fighter who fell.

Update: Someone sent me mail to tell me of my wrong link, I corrected it. So, enjoy! Dude.
