Social Wallpapering

Social Wallpapering is a public effort to classify, rank, and distribute high-resolution images for use as desktop backgrounds. Supported resolutions include 1280x960, 1280x1024, 1600x1200, and all other background variations with a minimum width and height of 1280x720 pixels.
Socwall employs several technologies to function, such as cascading style sheets (CSS), asynchronous javascript and XML (AJAX) requests, an open source relational database management system (MySQL), and a server-side cross-platform HTML embedded scripting language (PHP). The idea for Socwall originated in March 2006 by Kirk Ouimet, who is the founder and maintainer of the web site.

Visual Element - The innovative periodic table

Visual Elements is an arts and science collaborative project supported by the Royal Society of Chemistry which aims to explore and reflect upon the diversity of elements that comprise matter in as unique and innovative manner as possible.
Visual Elements aims to produce a new and vibrant visual assessment of the startling diversity of material that constitutes the world in which we live, not simply by rendering images of the respective elements but also by investigating the manner in which they affect our daily lives in largely unseen and often unexpected ways.

Econ Sources - Monster Glossary

This site is designed as a portal to the best economic information on the web. The site is maintained by Professor Gary E. Clayton and is intended purely for the use and enjoyment of his colleagues, fellow teachers, students, and anyone else with an interest in economic topics and data.
The title "EconSources" reflects the fact that every effort has been made to direct users to the source agencies that generate the data such as the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Federal Reserve System, The World Bank, etc. In some cases, links to individual articles and/or reports are provided to extend, update, or provide additional information on one of the two textbook chapters or topics.
Numerous links are provided to advocacy organizations such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the AFL-CIO, and OPEC, among others. EconSources.com also provides links to major news organizations and web browsers that generate and/or gather articles about economic developments at the local, national, and international levels. However, no endorsements by EconSources.com are implied, and users should consider the source of the information when making a judgment about the topics presented.
Throughout, every effort has been made to provide links to the most current, objective, and relevant data on the web. To help the user maintain separation between the EconSources.com portal and the information on a linked site, note that a new site will always pop up in a separate window. So, when you are done visiting a linked site, simply close the window to return to the portal. When you are in the portal, you can navigate by using the links at the bottom of the page, the "Back to EconSources Home Page" icon, or the "back" button on your browser.
Finally, EconSources.com was designed and developed by ClaytonSolutions and is hosted by Interland.com. Users also have complete anonymity when using this site-see the Privacy Policy statement-a feature that we hope will encourage usage and endear the confidence and support of the user.

THE WOLFRAM INTEGRATOR

The Integrator uses webMathematica technology to bring the computational capabilities of Mathematica to the web.
The heart of The Integrator is Mathematica's built-in Integrate function--the same one you use when accessing Mathematica directly. When you type in an integral, The Integrator uses webMathematica to send the integral to the Mathematica kernel, which computes the result using the Integrate function. The result is then embedded into the web page as typeset output.

Kenneth Parker Photographs

Kenneth Parker is a large-format landscape colorist working principally in remote pristine wilderness areas throughout the world where he has trekked and kayaked extensively. He is inexorably drawn to the elemental earth/ocean forces and their compelling magic, translating into arresting imagery the depths of these feelings, rich in power, radiant. His early experience as fine art color pioneer Eliot Porter’s field assistant helped to nurture a loving eye devoted to isolating and capturing the mysteries in nature that he struggled for decades to unravel as a research scientist in oceanography and global climate change. Paul Caponigro has also been a principal influence on his development as a consistent mentor to Parker since the mid-70s.

Most of Parker’s photographs are captured over the course of 5-10 day backpacking excursions hauling 75-85 pounds of large-format camera equipment as he becomes immersed in a profound sense of place. Often several days are spent contemplating the changing light and intimacy of a composition before completing a single exposure. Usually only one or two distinctive images will result from one of these journeys.

Over the past three decades, Parker has produced a body of work in several formats that has been widely exhibited and published. While a great deal of that time was occupied with his natural science career, he consistently maintained and exercised the creative passions that have now fully committed his life focus to photography.

Here is the link to his site filled with fabulous photographs:
