1000 Barrels a Second
Tuesday, April 20th, 2010
The world is using 1000 barrels of oil a second, roughly equivalent to the amount of water going over this waterfall. Do the math on the harryhammer blog

East River Promenade
Wednesday, April 14th, 2010
The northern segment of the John V. Lindsay East River Park Promenade is open between 14th and Houston Streets. Entrances are between 4th and 14th Streets.
Count the bottles in the full size version This accumulation of garbage is probably left over from the heavy rains a couple weeks back, but I suspect that the wakes from the sightseeing boats could deposit it there as well. At least this plastic was held back from the Atlantic Gyre.
Low tide reveals the remains of the pilings that held up the old promenade.
The southern portion of the promenade is still under construction and fenced off from the public. The Parks Department says it will be completed this spring. But to me it looks like much work is still to be done.
Has anyone seen anything being constructed here lately?
Samantha Raven on the Roof
Wednesday, April 14th, 2010
Yes the GammaBlog continues to stalk Samantha Raven. I saw her fly the other day from the roof to a tree branch, about 30 feet downward. This is the longest I’ve seen her fly. Unfortunately my camera wasn’t pointed at her at the time. Her right wing still noticeably droops when she walks. Her mobility is slightly better than it was last year, but she needs to heal a lot more before she could be sent back to the wild.
Samantha Gossip:
A neighbor told me Samantha is friends with a local hawk. I’ve yet to see the hawk.
Juggle This 2010
Tuesday, April 13th, 2010
The embedded video above will play in HD. The quality options appears in the lower right corner after you press play.
Juggle This, the 9th annual juggling festival at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. It’s basically Pratt’s huge gym, with the floor covered in a blue protective tarp, and given over to jugglers of all skill levels for three days. There you can learn techniques and show off your skills to your heart’s content. Some of the jugglers I captured on the video are: Joshua Edelman from Jersey City, Michael Glenn from New Hampshire, Keith Leaf, Keith Nelson, Tony Duncan, and the Case Juggling Club. Anyone else here, who is featured here, and wants a link, leave it in the comments.
