Moviebarcode
"moviebarcode is a nifty new Tumblr that consists of a series of “barcodes” made by compressing every frame of a given movie into a single image. These really do give you a feel for the prevalent colors within a given movie (above: The Matrix), and devoted fans may even be able to figure out roughly what is occurring within a given movie during a given band of color: For instance, the seasonal, stylized structure of Hero is very apparent in its barcode. Here’s hoping that guessing movies by their barcodes becomes the new parlor game among film geeks."

Precision - synchronized with atomic clock time
Time.is is synchronized with an atomic clock - the most accurate time source in the world. The displayed time will normally have a precision of 0.02-0.10 seconds. The precision depends on your internet connection and how busy your computer is.
What makes Time.is exact
* Time.is displays the time for your detected (or chosen) location, not the time according to your computer's clock.
* The server which hosts Time.is is synchronized to atomic clock time.
* Time.is adjusts to DST (Daylight Saving Time) even if your computer clock doesn't.
* Time.is is always updated with the latest information about DST transitions and time zone modifications.
* The displayed time is not just updated once a second, but at the beginning of every second. Many web clocks, and even the clock of some operating systems, will update the seconds at an arbitrary time within the second, and will drift when the computer is busy, causing jumps of two seconds when the drift has accumulated to a second.
* If you adjust your computer clock, Time.is will issue a resynchronization.
* Time.is is hosted on a modern, quick, dedicated server, which delivers the requested page in minimum time.
* The code for Time.is is trimmed and light-weight, thus eliminating latency caused by the time it takes for the page to load and render.
* Synchronization via Ajax ensures maximum accuracy.
Disclaimer
Time.is aims to be the most accurate, the most reliable and the most user-friendly source of time and time related information on the web. Although we do our best to provide correct information, no warranty is given, and any use of information provided by Time.is is at your own risk. Population numbers may not be recent.

Merry Clayton 'Gimme Shelter'
Merry was the woman dueting with Mick on the Rolling Stones' original 1969 recording of "Gimme Shelter". Who better to interpret it the following year than Merry herself? She's accompanied on keys by her friend, the immeasurably important Billy Preston, who was as much the Sixth Stone as the Fifth Beatle in these years. The galloping roar of guitar may be David T. Walker, although the album credits don't clarify.

Wrist Watches From Famous Auto Brands
I take the first one please. Thank you.
"The tradition of producing wrist watches under auto brand name starts in the early 20 th century when the first wrist watch has appeared. Many legendary car manufacturers produce their own line of watches dedicated to anniversaries and special occasions in the life of brands. Most auto makers have contracts with famous watch companies and produce watches with their labels. But some auto makers such as Lamborghini and Porsche prefer to have their own watch factory and produce their own wrist watches. These watches from the first sketches to design of gift packaging are entirely made by specialists of legendary auto brands."

Art By Xiau-Fong
"Xiau-Fong is an artist of the Bay area employing paints and brushes as her main tools for expression, as weel as drawings using charcoal, colored pencils and a variety of other mediums. She explores the challenges of everyday life and translates her thoughts and experiences into surreal whimsical images. Each window, leading to another world, tells of a story, hints at an underlying message and provides a small adventure for people looking in from the outside. She finds inspiration in the bizarre, and strange, as well as the beauty of what nature has to offer, the challenge is to balance the weird with the wonderful and create an altered view of aesthetics."

Brendan George Ko
Brendan George Ko 'Who Am I?'
" I have lived amongst the yuccas and coyotes of New Mexico. I have surfed with the craziest sons of bitches I have ever met during my time in Texas. I grew up on the outskirts of Toronto, ON, and lived half my life moving through America, with endless road trips, and faces of so many, dear human beings.
I see every photograph I take as a document; a document of a memory, a document of a person; a time and place, a feeling and a trace (of something that once was, something worth remembering). I am creating and recreating a history of all that I am, with words, and images, so that I can remember beyond my memory, for a record of being."
