[logo_design] Calling Tubers Everywhere – Here Comes IYP
2007-12-27 22:24:00 1206. I don't know how we missed this one ... 2008 has been deemed, by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the U.N., the International Year of the Potato, or IYP.It's no IGY, but you can't have it all, I suppose.The impulse, when such a mundane staple is celebrated in such a universal fashion, is to wonder if it's a goof; such is our sophisticated drive-by, pick-up media-saturated culture (you know, the one that treats La Britney's next trailer park moment as news even when more serious things are happening). No, it's not a goof; this is a serious, year-long, international promotional effort to elevate awareness of the Solanum tuberosum, the world's fourth-largest fresh produce crop (after wheat, rice, and corn).We aren't that unhappy about it; after all, we likey the tuber in a muchly way. And it gives us a chance to analyze some logo talk. Refer, if you all would be so very kind, to the provided illustration (including the IYP's tagline, Hidden Treasure, an apt tagli...

Bulbs And Tubers
2007-03-25 13:11:00 Miniature Lemon JonquilsPlants that have bulbs and tubers are perennials, their main characteristic being the formation of an underground storage organ which is the basis of life of the same or a substitute plant in the following vegetative period. The one-year vegetative cycle is typical of this group, during which the plant forms its aerial organs, flowers, usually seeds, and accumulates nutritional substances in the underground storage organ for further vegetation. Each vegetative period is concluded with a dormant period, the beginning of each cycle being at the same time the end of the previous one. The course of the growing cycle in different genera and species does not keep to the same timetable, but it always lasts one year. The whole cycle takes place over a period of twelve months, though the beginnings and ends may not correspond to the beginning and end of the calendar year. Blue HyacinthAccording to the calendar, almost all plants of this group would have to be con...

YouTubers to get ad money share
2007-03-09 14:54:01 People who upload their own films to video-sharing website YouTube will soon get a share of the ad revenue.YouTube founder Chad Hurley confirmed to the BBC that his team was working on a revenue-sharing mechanism that would "reward creativity".The system would be rolled out in a couple of months, he said, and use a mixture of adverts, including short clips shown ahead of the actual film.YouTube has more than 70m users a month and was recently bought by Google.The offer applies only to people who own the full copyright of the videos that they are uploading to the YouTube website.The company, which Google bought in November last year for $1.65bn, was currently working on "audio fingerprinting" technologies to identify copyrighted material, Mr Hurley said in a session on social networking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.Speaking to the BBC after the session, he declined to give further details, saying that YouTube was still working out the technology and processes inv...
Ten Paragraphs for the YouTubers
2007-01-22 10:19:01 "I suffer from YouTuber Audience Syndrome....It finally dawned on me that I needed to include more sex and gore, more self-deprecating trips and stumbles, and more trifling mentions of characters and celebrities the readers are familiar with. I asked [my editor] to name his favorite cartoon character. He asked me if I knew who Scooby-Doo was. I don't, but I didn't tell him that for fear of getting the axe. And I mention Scooby-Doo here twice in self-defense." by Don Robertson, The American Philosopher1/20/07Three times I sat down this past week to write an article. They were an article about legalization of drugs, an article about the coming Inquisition arising from genome research, and the one I published, The American Philosopher Interviews: Meir, Sadat, Carter and Dawkins, which was a failure.One always hears about writer's block, but I do not suffer from writer's block. I suffer from YouTuber Audience Syndrome, YAS for short. Even the acronym haunts me these days. It is a hi... |
