For this version, instead of averaging the colorized map of dune edges I averaged the edges before colorizing. It must be noted that red dunes are big dunes, not ‘bad dunes’.

This is an averaged version of the previous image. It’s useful only to distinguish between big dunes, small dunes and exposed bedrock. This method has flaws when there is flat dust.

This is a piece of terrain South of Victoria Crater. I mapped the dunes (using the GIMP) by finding the edges, clearing the edges at the bright bedrock areas and blurring a bit to create smooth gradients before colorizing.

Man, this is just so wrong.

Gravina Island Bridge, a.k.a. the Bridge to Nowhere: $395 million US dollars.

Mars Exploration Rovers: $410 million US dollars (each).

Did someone develop some kind of selective blindness to the word ‘million’?

[Update: Ok, so far this live webcast of CNN is working (I installed the w32codecs this morning, just in case). The stream url can be grabbed and played with VLC]

There’s not so many people reading the English side of the blog, but who knows…

I would love to listen to the debate, but Spanish media will translate them and I’d prefer to listen to the English audio. The feed shouldn’t be in asx streaming format, if possible, it doesn’t play well in my Ubuntu machine.

So, do you know any good audio (or video) feed?
