Radio Garden

A world map with radio stations streaming.

This is one of the most fantastic things I've seen/heard online. Wow.

Apparently, it was created by TRE (Transnational Radio Encounters). It is so awesome to be able to travel around this amazing planet, see the geographic details on the map, listening to the languages, music, ambiance, news in so many countries, far flung corners of the world. Just like that. Boom. One moment listening to music in Bamako, Mali, Almaty, Kazakhstan, Bengaluru, India then swiveling the globe and listening to music in Chalcis, Greece.

I love the Stories part of this website too, in different accents. The History part too around the world, in different languages. Even the Jingles part is cool.

Looking at the globe is wonderful as well, connecting to parts of the world by their radio programs is an interesting sort of intimacy. I like targeting the littler dots in exotic places I've never heard of before.

What a great sound adventure this is.

The birth of the Web

The World Wide Web was invented by British scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 while working at CERN

Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist, invented the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989, while working at CERN. The web was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automated information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world.

The first website at CERN – and in the world – was dedicated to the World Wide Web project itself and was hosted on Berners-Lee's NeXT computer. In 2013, CERN launched a project to restore this first ever website: info.cern.ch.

On 30 April 1993, CERN put the World Wide Web software in the public domain. Later, CERN made a release available with an open licence, a more sure way to maximise its dissemination. These actions allowed the web to flourish.

Spanish woman who botched Jesus fresco demands royalties

"The Spanish church earned approximately $2,000 euros in the first four days the fresco went on display to visitors. Visitors were charged 4 euros as an entrance fee.

The budget Irish airline, Ryanair, has also begun offering cheap deals to the Spanish town so that tourists can view the botched fresco.

Images of the restoration have also landed on the top of crepes in Madrid foodstalls and in a skit on the Conan O’Brien show.

Now Gimenez is taking legal action to get her share of the profits from the Spanish church.

According to the octogenarian’s lawyer, Enrique Trebolle, Gimenez wants the church “to conform to the law” in this situation.

Gimenez hopes to use any economic compensation for charitable purposes, he said.

Martinez’s descendants have said they will take legal action against the elderly pensioner for destroying the painter’s fresco, according to the Ottawa Citizen."

Outrageous.
Iraq records huge rise in birth defects, New study links increase with military action by Western forces
"The latest study found that in Fallujah, more than half of all babies surveyed were born with a birth defect between 2007 and 2010. Before the siege, this figure was more like one in 10."
