An interesting perspective on hurricanes from The Big Picture, a site well worth keeping an eye on – it constantly delivers stunning photos of current news stories.
Strange to think that we wouldn’t have been able to see this fifty years ago.

Glastonbury without the mud
3 years, 2 months ago in Music, Web.
Glastonbury is now over but the BBC coverage is online. It includes videos of many of the acts, although sadly The Killers’ set isn’t online.
Although there was some controversy over the number of people they took to Glasto (around 280, compared to the total 137,000 paying attendees), the coverage they provided was watched by millions, it was well executed and more than justifies this number.
In addition to the videos, the BBC are also sharing some of their photos from the event on a special Flickr account they have created. It’s interesting the see the BBC sharing their content on Flickr, most companies/organisations try to fiercely guard their content. Hopefully they’ll eventually share their videos, too.
As usual, the BBC is breaking new ground: I can’t think of many other big organisations that could, or would be able to do something like that. One step forward..
