250m radius Settlement Cam 09-time-lapse (2010−2018)
Posted by Klaus Baldauf in category: futurism
When starting a project, I like to set up some specific camera locations that I use to review the state of design at different stages. This allows me to look back at the progress and decisions that were made along the way. To me, this enhances the process to the point where the final design becomes secondary to how I got there. Although I usually enjoy the final product, I always love the process.

Warning and Aviation Code Red Alert Issued For Hawaii
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: futurism, transportation
Red is the highest level of alert to aviation, meaning that either an eruption is forecast to be imminent with significant emission of ash into the atmosphere likely — as is the case currently in Hawaii — or an eruption is underway with significant emission of ash into the atmosphere. Either way, this could mean disruptions are possible in aviation around the big island of Hawaii for the foreseeable future, depending on what happens.
Ash clouds from volcanoes can clog the engines of airplanes and cause them to malfunction — or stop working altogether. According to this article from the World Organization of Volcano Observatories:
