Tonight we feature a most interesting “hyper-lapse” video comprised of individual images taken by those special cars that Google uses to create their Street View database. You can learn more about hyper-lapse photography here.
Your insightful, hyper-like reader tips are welcome, as always, in the comments.

  2. The first six seconds of that video looks like the Trans-Canada somewhere between Regina and Moose Jaw.

  3. yet the view of the CN Tower was just after ripping by Wind Power
    so is this propaganda — is this a new version of Josef Goebbels?

  7. So just how does this guy rate a high level clearance in the first place? http://www.twincities.com/national/ci_23474362/tracking-edward-snowden-from-high-school-dropout-leaker?source=rss
    Dropped that question here a few days ago… Found the answer last night and, as usual, I don’t much care for the implications. When I think about this set up I realize it’s almost over.

    A few excerpts.
    at least 18 investigators handling the checks have been convicted of falsifying investigations since 2007.
    Senators also raised concerns about a 2009 watchdog investigation that found about 87 percent of OPM investigative reports used to make clearance decisions had incomplete documentation.
    McCaskill said USIS also has a contract to support the OPM by managing and overseeing background investigations, an arrangement she said appears to put USIS in a position of oversight of its own work.

  9. True Powerfactor, sometimes you just gotta turn off the anti-agitprop radar for a spell and just MARVEL.
    Sometimes you gotta forget the uber-liberal totalitarian mindset of the googles of this world and just GAWK and enjoy.
    Or as EBD might say, wipe the Po face.
    That’s great EBD, thanks. Great soundtrack too eh?
    Nice package with the learn all about it second link.

  10. “Wind farms: Ceausescu would have loved ’em”
    “Wind farms are like one of those frustratingly unripened boils: you know that you shouldn’t keep squeezing but they’re so noxious and irritating and hideous that you just can’t resist. If you’ve got the same problem, then I heartily recommend you read this brilliant essay on the subject by Russell Taylor.
    I love his dismissal of people who claim to find wind turbines beautiful:
    “….a sentiment I find as credible as a Soviet peasant admiring the Tiger tank that had just squashed his grandmother.””

    “Kombinat: Industrial Ruins of the Golden Era, courtesy igloo heritage
    When I went to Romania shortly before the downfall of the Ceauscescu regime, the Romanians (to judge by the displays in the bookshops) seemed to be a nation of stereochemists: for displayed to the exclusion of almost everything else in the bookshop windows was a volume entitled The Stereospecific Characterization of Isoprene. Perhaps the authorship, or the alleged authorship, of this volume explained its strange popularity: that of Elena Ceausescu, Doctor of Science and Member of the Romanian Academy.
    I did not know why the dictator’s wife had chosen chemistry as the realm of her supposed genius and world-fame. Nevertheless, I considered buying a copy, but then thought better of it.”

    “Row over closure of Greek ‘BBC’ puts coalition in jeopardy
    The Times (subscription)”
    “The Greek Government was left hanging by a thread today after the smallest coalition partner withdrew in protest at the sudden closure of the state broadcaster ERT, the country’s equivalent of the BBC.”

    “ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — The largest iceberg cluster seen in recent years is drifting south off Labrador near the Strait of Belle Isle through transatlantic shipping routes, says the coast guard.
    Peter Veber, Atlantic superintendent of ice operations, said there are about 250 icebergs within a 100 kilometre radius of Belle Isle off Labrador.
    “The shipping that is going through there are reporting numerous bergs,” he said Thursday in an interview. “We have a ship operating up on the Labrador coast and likewise our own people are saying that they’re seeing more now than we’ve seen for years up there.”
    In all, the coast guard reports that the numbers are three to four times what has been recorded in the last five years.”

  16. Well, I enjoyed that hyper-lapse video. The world is a beautiful place, and even some man made stuff is beautiful and adds to nature’s beauty. It is easy to find. You just have to look for it.

    MPs, senators, pundits: Please go home. May we never see a Parliament like this one again”

  18. The floodwater in Calgary hasn’t started to recede and the loons are calling loudly. True to form, the AGW cultists haven’t been able to resist using a terrible natural disaster as a propaganda tool. The “eminent” Dr. Suzuki who used to be a scientist has pulled out all the stops in Huff Post. Evil, energy guzzling humanity is to blame! Jimmy Swaggart raving about hell and damnation couldn’t have done a better job.
    What a nasty, vile pos Dr. Fruitfly is.

  20. This is the CBC for cryin’ out loud. Normal people don’t even go there and the ones that do are always overwhelmed by the leftist hordes.
