Meteorite Light in Northern Europe

Miriam Rupp — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 13:29:02 +0000

Last night a mysterious light in the sky along with a loud bang scared the hell out of people in North Germany, Denmark, and Sweden. Scientists and police assume that it might stem from a meteorite, which could explain the following blast and noise. Take a look at the video which was published by a Swedish new site.

LichtZitat der Woche

LED traffic light

Miriam Rupp — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 16:54:20 +0000

This LED traffic light by Stanislav Katz is a true high-tech innovation for the masses. It will save energy and ease of construction through its design.

The cast, or mould, for the unit only requires a single set-up as each light section is identical, as opposed to the traditional triple light fabrication which is quite complex. The use of LED technology also is a step forward. Only green and red ‘bulbs’ are required; illuminating both colours in unison creates the yellow hue.

In the Shadows of Motown

Miriam Rupp — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 18:25:49 +0000

Zum 50. Geburtstag des legendären Motown-Labels, heute einmal eine etwas konstruierte Überleitung. Wo Licht ist, ist auch Schatten. Und im Schatten von Motown standen lange Zeit die Musiker, die für dessen unverkennbaren Sound gesorgt haben, die „Funk Brothers“. In der Dokumentation „Standing in the Shadows of Motown“ (2003) wird die Geschichte dieser Musiker erzählt und ihnen Tribut gezollt. Mit aktuellen Künstlern haben sie sich in Detroit noch einmal zusammengetan, um einige der größten Motown-Hits wieder live zu spielen.

Lights That Undress

Miriam Rupp — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 15:47:01 +0000

The Ziplamp by Merry Design Studio is an ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styren) light stick sheathed in a neoprene cover. To turn on the Ziplamp, just unzip its cover until the desired amount of light is revealed.

Even though the Ziplamp is a completely family-friendly piece of lighting, there’s something that feels a bit naughty about unzipping the lamp to turn it on.

Snow Light

Miriam Rupp — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 08:58:20 +0000

„Something I’ve never noticed before is how the light changes when it snows. This photo was taken around ten at night during quite a heavy snowfall. You can’t see the flakes falling because of the long exposure (30 seconds) but what is remarkable is that one can see anything at all under heavy cloud at that time of night. Yet the yard was nearly as bright as if it were under moonlight. My only explanation is that it is the city lights reflecting off the low clouds and the snow as it is falling and also bouncing back off the white snow below. Whatever the reason, it’s a lovely soft light.“ (Benjamin Madison, Photographer)

In fact, the same observation I made last night in snowy Berlin.
