Odds and Ends – Neat stuff for Friday

I am taking a one day break from writing about absolutely building related stuff to share some sort of building related neat items and images….

The first is a great post from WebUrbanist.com about the mystique of abandoned places:

Next is a cool post from a series at environmentalgraffiti.com about playable or in this case musical buildings:http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/offbeat-news/the-biggest-secret-rock-concert-pics/1380

Here we have an article about an idea to harness the energy of dancers by modifying the floor to generate electricity: http://www.psfk.com/2008/06/we-need-more-power-keep-dancing.html

At this site Nikon, the camera folks have put together a great flash presentation on size and distance that is a great help if like me you children who ask lots of questions: http://www.nikon.com/about/feelnikon/universcale/index_f.htm

Lastly a very cool explainer of the up and coming futuristic materials some of which have been in the news:http://lifeboat.com/ex/10.futuristic.materials
