Peterme brings up a great topic: information design in the US Government… especially for our national park systems. He shows examples and provides some insight into how the maps and information hand outs are created.

I bet you never expected to get such great tips and ideas from BrainFuel when you originally bookmarked this site. Today we bring you a Guide to Posing People for Pictures… aka “Zeltsman Approach to Traditional Classic Portraiture.” It’s the best guide I’ve ever seen that explains how to pose people correctly.

On Sunday the first of two “probes” sent by NASA last summer will land on Mars. NASA in its effort to have a better web site created a very nice Flash tour telling all about the trip and things to see along the way.

I found it especially interesting that 2/3 of all missions to Mars end up failing. Wow. Talk about a good success ratio (that’s not really sarcasm, just a general comment about how we obviously don’t know much about Mars yet. I can tell you this though: I wouldn’t want to be the first person to get a ride to Mars, even if the trip was for free). Check out the great photo I took of the lander.
