Good Vibrations by Jérémy Clapin



I can’t get enough of mid-century educational and safety-related animated shorts so I’m delighted to see a contemporary take on those films with The Responsibility Project from Liberty Mutual, which is a series of entertainment shorts intended to “create a forum for people to discuss personal acts of responsibility.” The most impressive animated short created for the program thus far is Good Vibrations by French animator Jérémy Clapin, the director ofSkhizein. The four-minute film, which is directed, designed and written by Clapin, manages to be funny and entertaining while slyly slipping in its message about the necessity of individuals taking initiative instead of rubbernecking. With his strong graphic concepts and effortless visual storytelling, Clapin’s work continually impresses, and he’s proving himself to be one of the more exciting new voices in animation. Watch Good Vibrations on the Liberty Mutual website.

Second-grader joins national movement that's declaring 'immigrant rights are civil rights'





With legislation popping up all over the country targeting immigrant groups, a national movement is forming to fight back. In one example in the video, Arizona bans ethnic studies, in spite of the fact that the state's own superintendent is clueless on Chicano history. In response, students of a popular Mexican-American Studies program in Tucson organize and blockade their high school to stop superintendent from entering.

[影音] 亞洲最溫柔細緻的社會運動，在台灣

台灣的社會運動，曾經與抗爭、暴力、示威劃上等號，用激烈手段突破僵硬的體制。鄰近的韓國、中國、泰國，到今天仍然上演流血抗爭、武裝鎮壓。但是，新一代的台灣年輕人同樣從事社會運動，卻出現了溫柔而細緻的方式。

他們為何不再暴力抗爭？ 他們用什麼和平而細緻的方式？ 他們發動了什麼改變？ 年輕人要為改變社會注入新思維與活水。

Hackathon

Over 300 hundred hackers attended the kickoff of TechCrunch Disrupt at 2 p.m. today.

The die-hard techies will spend 20 hours, many without sleep, to come up with the next big idea. The participants will compete in a rapid fire pitch in front of a panel of judges tomorrow before noon.




Zappos Hack-a-thon
While these projects are mostly in concept-form only, it should give you some visibility into potential future advances that we could build for our customers and employees.

We are going to ask you to vote for your favorite project, which we will then get ready to go live.

Just a quick update for those tracking the Disrupt Hackathon. Pizza has been delivered, the Red Bull girls have made their rounds, and the group seems to be in high spirits. TechCrunch developer Andy Brett and I made the rounds this afternoon, chatting with developers (who came from places as close as New York and as far as Israel) to discuss their projects and their strategy for the evening. Many expected to use a combination of potent caffeine and quick naps to power through the session. Some offered quirkier solutions: one team toyed with the idea of napping in the beginning and working during the late hours (to sleep through the noisiest part of the day) and another set a hard deadline of 2 am so that they could be the most refreshed team during the presentation round. We’ll find out who makes it and what they’ve made tomorrow at 11am— and for those who can’t be here, we plan to Livestream the event as well. Until then, enjoy our brief video of Hackathon (Andy doesn’t make frequent video appearances so this is a real treat, bonus points if you find his 2 cameos). This was all shot on a flip cam.







Because you could never be too educated, Zappos offers classes (some mandatory, some not) to it's employees. One class that helps keep our Zappos culture alive and well is the Zappos Culture Course. This class births a lot of the fun and weird events that go on inside the office.

國家賠不賠

國道三號走山的意外，交通部允諾給予受難者家屬國家賠償

那為什麼之前類似的案件申請國賠卻屢遭拒絕？

政府單位互踢皮球，小老百姓該向誰求助？

國道三號走山造成四人罹難，而後交通部允諾給予受難者國家賠償，後續效應之一是，其他之前遭到駁回的國賠案，都出現了「敗部復活」的機會。這些案子可能也將首開先例，創下國賠史上，政府「先以天災拒絕，後以新事證認賠」的作法。然而真的有機會，重啟國賠程序嗎？一起重回豐丘明隧道及雙園斷橋事故現場，看看家屬們爭取國賠的心路歷程。






民國63年9月28日，基隆的八堵交流道發生山崩奪走36條人命

36年後，國道三號走山是不是歷史的重演？而政府學到教訓了嗎？
八堵交流道事件，是台灣高速公路開發史上第一個災害事件，當年中山高都還沒有通車，八西里就先付出36條人命的代價，一個輕度颱風造成的山崩，沖垮了山腳下的一排民宅。同樣震驚全國的走山意外，36年前發生一次，36年後再次重演，當年到現場調查的學者如何看這兩次事件？而當年的生還者對於當時的走山，還存有什麼樣的印象？

2012：當科學遇上預言

全球的自然災難發生頻率越來越高，馬雅人2012的預言難道會成真？

科學家是如何看待這個預言？到底2012年會發生什麼事？

隨著全球自然災難的頻率的升高，許多人不禁開始想像馬雅人所預言：2012是本次文明的終點，這到底是不是真的？2012真的像電影所說的是世界末日嗎？科學家們各抱持著不同的看法，當科學遇上預言，究竟會產生什麼樣的火花？
