It’s a presentation by the mathematician Ron Eglash who exposes in 16 minutes his whole investigation about African fractals, in buildings and braids. The whole subject is fascinating even if you don’t like maths.

When it comes to maps, a lot of companies appear with high prices. Google Earth / Maps has made a huge step bringing these kind of data to any people (with a good Internet connection and a good browser). However, it’s hard [...]

Every time you repeat something, you tend to make it better and better and one day you’ll have highly optimized methods. However, when it’s up to computers, it doesn’t work like that.
