The Evolution of Websites

My coworker found this article *shout out to Darren* at work the other day. It's comparisons of major websites from when they first launched to now.
The author Samuel points out a few extinct snippets from web history I remember so well:

• "Best Viewed with IE" badge
• left-aligned website - A personal hated favourite
• Java versions of sites

The older sites seem hilarious now but I have to give them cred - I remember my first site, 200k images you needed to scroll from side to side to see.

Humans

This is a freaky little piece I found on MSNbc.com. It's someone's prediction of the evolution of the human species. I thought the composites were pretty funny. Check out the Unihuman below.

Guatemala #4: ONIL Stove

The ONIL Stove is one of the fabulous designs which addresses the alarming WHO estimation that over 3 billion people are exposed to poor indoor air quality as a result of dependence on biomass as a fuel source. From their website, the ONIL Stove:

* Reduced smoke emission's from within the dwelling by 99%,
* Increased the cooking surface height - eliminating burns and/or uncontrolled fires,
* Created a 60-70% savings in fuel consumption - allowing for a reduction in deforestation.
