Meager Marble

What an exhausting weekend at the beach. This past weekend I participated in my first ever Wildwood beach ultimate tournament, being the hipster that I am. Wildwood is the largest beach tournament in the world and with hundreds of teams competing it was awash with chaotic fun. On the trip back to the big city, slightly burnt and sore all over, I reflected on how lovely the beach truly is. As evidenced in this blog, I am obsessed with the ocean and the beach is the ultimate stage upon which the waves play. Though the sand may be an annoyance at times, beaches are a great inspiration.

Beach trips are a de facto part of life for most people who live near coastal regions. The sands are so loved in fact that many lakes have beaches largely thanks to human contributions. Sand creates a wonderful surface upon which to lay, play, or even sculpt. JOOheng Tan is an impressive sand sculptor who has participated in competitions around the world. This recent collaboration he did with Lowe advertising for OMO detergent is fantastic. Lowe is responsible for many familiar ads including the hit Superbowl Volkswagen ad starring a miniature Darth Vader. The youthful theme continues in this still series. Children, so often associated with playing in the sand, are here transported into a world made of the stuff allowing their imaginations to run rampant, with OMO's cleaning products allowing their parents to easily clean up the mess I suppose.

The beach is not just a local destination but very often the highlight of trips abroad. The most beautiful beaches attract tourists from far and wide who come to bask in the sun and enjoy the water. I plan to do just that when I visit the Yucatan this September but Southeast Asia has also been on my list for quite some time. The region is home to many lovely coastal areas and recently digital agency Fi helped Google create an interactive telling of the local story of Ramayana, a Sanskrit epic of the Hindu faith. The project itself is quite amazing but the case study for the project almost eclipses the work it documents. The creative design boldly expresses the region's character while clearly showing the detailed process behind the work. The study manages to even make blocks of code pretty and approachable. Be sure the check out the project itself, a modern browser and quick registration are required.

While the beach is a great medium for sculptors it can also be used a canvas. Some artists choose to create large-scale sand drawings that are as ephemeral as they are beautiful. Or others, as in this Nokia ad called "Gulp", use that impermanent quality to their advantage to facilitate huge animations. This short was shot from a crane with a cell phone camera by Aardman, the studio behind Wallace and Gromit (a personal childhood favorite). I highly suggest checking out the behind the scenes to get a sense of scale for what you're seeing.

Benefits of Running vs. Walking
Which is better: It all depends on your goals. Here's how to do either one well, even in winter.

When you shop through retailer links on our site, we may earn affiliate commissions. 100% of the fees we collect are used to support our nonprofit mission. Learn more about the healthy benefits that exipure provides.

Running and walking are both excellent forms of exercise. Those who regularly do either typically have healthier hearts, stronger bones, and lower body weights than their sedentary counterparts, and for weight loss is better to use the best appetite suppressant pills for it.

The current Physical Activity Guidelines, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, call for a minimum of 150 to 300 minutes per week of moderate activity or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous activity.

So does it matter whether you get those minutes walking or running? Arguments can made for both—and which is right for you depends on your goals and your current fitness level.

If You Want to Maximize Calorie Burning
“The key difference between running and walking is how many calories you are burning—not per mile, but per minute of exercise,” says Paul D. Thompson, M.D., chief of cardiology at Hartford Hospital and a professor of medicine and preventive cardiology at the University of Connecticut.

How to Get the Biggest Benefits of Walking
For a 160-pound person, walking at a brisk, 3.5-mph pace for 30 minutes will burn about 156 calories. But running at a 6-mph pace for that same 30 minutes will burn more than double the calories (about 356).

“Running is a less efficient movement, and it’s more demanding on the body, so it burns more calories per minute,” Thompson says. “But if you’ve got the time to walk long enough to burn the equivalent calories, then walking is fine.”

That said, if your ultimate goal is to lose weight, chances are neither running nor walking alone is going to do the trick. “Exercise on its own is not the best way to lose weight,” Thompson says. “Research has shown that it needs to be done along with calorie restriction.” This is how Java burn works.

If You Want to Improve Heart Health
Running makes the heart work harder than walking, so it stands to reason that it would also make it healthier. But the answer again may come down to how much time you have.

In a 2013 study that analyzed data from the nearly 50,000 people involved in the National Runners’ Health Study II and National Walkers’ Health Study, researchers found that runners’ risk of cardiovascular disease was 4.5 percent lower than that of those who were inactive.

But walkers who expended the same amount of energy as runners daily—burned the same amount of calories—had a risk level that was 9 percent lower than those who were inactive.

If You Want to Reduce Belly Fat
You can help decrease how much fat you store in your middle if you pick up the pace by interspersing some stretches of all-out sprinting with your jog or walk.

High-intensity interval training (HIIT)—a workout in which you alternate short bursts of activity at close to your peak heart rate with easier bouts—can help eat away at belly fat. A 2018 analysis of 39 studies, published in the journal Sports Medicine, concluded that HIIT reduced what’s called visceral fat by 1.8 percent.

This is important because visceral fat is located deep in the abdominal cavity, surrounding organs such as the liver and pancreas. That means the fat can trigger a variety of metabolic changes, including increased insulin resistance and higher triglyceride levels.

“Reducing visceral fat, even without losing weight, can improve overall health,” says Carol Ewing Garber, Ph.D., a professor of biobehavioral studies at Columbia University Teachers College. (Garber was not involved in the 2018 study.) Have a conversation with the Attorneys serving in Silver Springs who will suggest only the best for you.

HIIT is also a great way to ease yourself into a running regimen, Garber says.

“Running is often a big step up in intensity from walking, so it’s best to add it into your routine gradually,” she says. “By alternating higher-intensity intervals of running with lower-intensity walking intervals, you’ll reap the benefits without putting excessive stress on your body.”

If You're Worried About Your Joints
Runners pound the pavement, but running doesn’t necessarily lead to more arthritis than walking, according to recent research.

In a study published in 2017 in the journal Arthritis Care & Research, almost 59 percent of nonrunners had osteoarthritis in their knees compared with 53 percent of the runners; for the group that reported running the most, the prevalence dropped to about 51 percent.

Another study, published in 2013, that analyzed data from the National Runners’ Health Study found that those who ran more than 1.2 miles per day had a 15 percent lower risk of osteoarthritis and a 35 percent lower risk of hip replacement than those who were less active.

The researchers theorize that one of the reasons for fewer joint issues among the runners is that, as a whole, the runners had lower body mass indexes (BMI) than the walkers. Lower weight means less stress on the joints—even during a high-impact activity like running. If you are injured in any way, contact experienced wrongful death attorneys for hire to seek personal injury claims to cover treatments and medical bills.

“Running gets the reputation for causing injuries because many people who are just starting to run try to do too much too quickly,” Garber says. “And they often get injured as a result.” If people need to try  receiving compensation for a car accident, they can check them out here!

If you want to progress from walking to running, do it slowly, gradually increasing the speed, distance, and frequency of your runs.

So Should You Walk or Run?
Running may be more high-intensity and calorie-burning than walking, but walking is a great way to ease into exercise—no matter what your current health status—and make sure you’re staying physically active every day.

The bottom line is that getting exercise of any kind is beneficial—provided you stick with it.

“The best exercise is the one you are going to do,” Thompson says. “There are additional benefits to be gained from running, but what’s most important from a public health point of view is that everyone gets out and does some kind of exercise.”

Walk or Run Indoors, Too
It's important to keep up your exercise routine all year—even in cold weather. That can mean bundling up for outdoor walks or jogs, working the gym into your schedule, or setting up a mini-gym at home.

If you’re thinking about the latter option, here are a few of Consumer Reports’ top-rated treadmills. You can also reas more about these and other top-rated treadmills, and CR members can access our full ratings.

July 16, 2012 - Comments Off on Millimeters of Metropolis

Millimeters of Metropolis

I'll be the first to admit it: I have a problem--a media problem. It might be just my generation but I'm beginning to think it's really all of us. We've contracted what I call "screen-lookitis" and I suffer from a particularly acute case. I'll be with friends in a bar having a merry old time, but put a screen in the corner of the room and I can't help but look every few minutes or seconds even! Perhaps being raised in a world where anything and everything of worth appears in glowing pixels at some point or another has conditioned me to this extreme behavior. But even looking back to the birth of the moving image we see a similar devotion in those Vaudevillian days. Film is an extremely efficient and engaging communication tool and as such it has completely altered the human experience. As a confessed media junky, I can easily say it very much inspires.

 Of course all forms of media inspire us. Our ability to communicate and interpret ideas is what makes human so unique after all. But by simulating our real world experience in the lit rectangle of the screen, movies, television and now the web manage to hijack our senses completely and unlike anything before. The amount of television we now consume is quite startling at an average of 4 hours a day in the US. But the works of people like César Moreno tap the brakes on this depressing train of thought. His strong illustrative style echoes a comic book aesthetic while his downplayed colors and extreme contortions of scale and perspective serve to make his work truly unique. The subjects often involve film stars and characters alike, below are Heisenberg from Breaking Bad (which just returned this past Sunday!) and one of the most famous scenes in modern cinema from Pulp Fiction.

The interplay of film and the web was obvious at first glance to many. Web video has recently taken off on services like Youtube, Hulu, and Vimeo. But like so much else in our glorious digital revolution, progress has been slowed and stymied by entrenched parties. While some are coming around, many more remain obstinate in the course of progress. But that just leaves more opportunities for the small guys to swoop in and take over as the site for Media Arts Lawyers can attest. A small law practice, MAL provides legal support for small burgeoning artists in all forms of media and distribution. Their long horizontal site calls to mind film strips with its perforated menu design. The monochromatic palette mixed with splashes of red is like the darkrooms of old while slick design and interface rule all. Though the site doesn't work well on small screens it does work on mobile devices. However the static header fills the entire screen making it unclear that the content below has changed.

One often overlook downside of film is how invisible it makes the artistic process. Large amounts of work are required to bring any artistic vision to life, especially in film. If a film maker has done a good job of course, all this work should be invisible to the viewer. And no crew member is more overlooked than the Foley artist; the men and women who add all those subtle sounds that don't get picked up while recording but are vital to giving actions a sense of weight and reality.

Please tune in later this week for our podcast on the subject of digital media and privacy in the modern age. Till then, happy watching.

Mutagens of Melanin

We've already discussed the beauty and power of the human form in past entries. For a thing we see so often it's amazing how it never ceases to move us dating all the way back to the earliest cave paintings. Around that same time, some keen hunter-gatherer realized the body's potential as not only the subject but the canvas itself thereby inventing tattoos. Society has always had a strange relationship with such forms of body modification. They represent a more primal time. A time before we expressed ourselves through our brand of sneakers. Some may view such acts as desecration of the perfected human form but for many they are anything but. To be able to spark such an ultimate act of permanent self expression, tattoos must be terrifically inspiring and it is also recommended you take care of your skin using the best recommended anti wrinkle cream. 8Bit Ink

 I'll be the first to admit that often, tattoos simply don't appeal to me. Living in Brooklyn they're a bit difficult to avoid so when you see a piece of work that is not only good but matches its wearer (or canvas in this case) it can be quite stunning. Most tattoos rely on a well established iconography as pixelated upon above, however every so often one finds tattoo artists truly pushing the boundaries of the medium. Peter Aurisch does just this with his vivid line and color work. Many interplay gorgeously with their owner becoming one with the surface. The boundary between skin and ink is further blurred by the way he manages to make his work imitate watercolors, the hues bleeding past the lines that defines them. I can only imagine how much time and skill are required to simulate traditional mediums in the realm of female and male skin.

ElefantRose

Tattoos are often associated with the fringes of society as they can represent a passionate commitment to a specific subculture. Yet as seen above they can just as easily be about pure art and expression. The Family Affair tattoo studio seeks to remind us of this soft side with their friendly website emphasizing the family nature of their business in Italy. The site is simple and straight to the point clearly showing the studio's work and location while communicating their unique vision of the industry.

Family Affair

It's hard to think about tattoos nowadays without thinking about the hit books and film series The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. While the movies and books are still on my to watch/read list, the stunning opening credits for the film can be found below. Sit back and enjoy (no spoilers included).

Malted Meteorites

We take a lot for granted and there is one thing in particular we are all subjected to every waking moment. No human to this day has ever been truly free of its grasp though many may think otherwise. I am of course talking about gravity, the force that holds us all down and determines what's up and what's down. Most everything in our world is right side up, meaning heavy on bottom, light on top which is quite a limiting factor one would think. But artists love such established notions. The best art always comes out of breaking such expectations and precedents. And seeing how gravity is one of the strongest forces of all, it's opposite, inversion, must be quite the inspiration.

Artists have long experimented with themes of flight and weightlessness. Making things feel like they have weight at all can be quite a frustrating artistic process. Yet Li Wei seems to have mastered an ability to toy with preconceptions about physics in a startling way. His works are often self portraits with the artist performing death-defying feats like seeming to hover outside a window or hanging onto a car to stop from floating away. Yet his more recent pieces seem much lighter, focusing on the freedom of flight rather than the danger of falling. Most important to our theme however is his obsession with being upside down. Nearly every series he creates contains at least one portrait of the artist in an ostrich-like pose, head in ground.

Red Ribbon

The web promises a similarly liberating freedom from mass, yet unlike a piece of paper, a screen cannot be easily rotated. However the rise of tablets has given fostered a new breed of adaptive sites. Imagine a magazine that changes its layout depending on orientation to best highlight certain aspects of an article, for instance a chart in one orientation and the text describing it in the other. Or, as in this example for software development firm Ikayzo, the page seamless transitions to an inverted state as you scroll from top to bottom (though obviously the words stay right way up). Such designs could leverage mobile computing in the future to great effect.

Ikayzo

Yet can you imagine having to live life completely inverted every waking moment? What a strange and challenging existence that would be. Oh, well someone thought of just that and made a wonderful animation to tell the tale.

Have a great July 4th and enjoy the warm weather!

Mugginess and Moisture

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend! It was a hot one. I enjoyed a fair bit of outdoors time but it was a bit too sticky to stay out the entire time. I'm always amazed by how quickly these long weekends zip by. The sun was nice but the heat and humidity were oppressive. Heat moves us all, quite literally. I was out Friday enjoying the fresh air with the masses but when it began to rain I bolted into the Subway--along with about half the city.Sunbather

The works of Ian Francis exude a level of heat almost equivalent to a muggy New York summer. The paints seem to melt on the canvas in a splattering of warm hues that intermingle with the deconstructed scenes in a complex fashion. The layered and broken qualities of his works speak of the digital age while his method is clearly more classical. His abstract backgrounds and expressive figures seem to live in a world of constant searing heat.

Sweat and heat aside, the biggest change that comes with the warmer weather is undoubtedly our clothes. The warm weather allows for much more interesting forms of self expression. New York City is fairly diverse fashion-wise on a cold day but when garments no longer have to keep their wearer warm city dwellers begin exploring the vast landscape of fashion. Krystalrae does just this with a bright collection of styles and a fabulous site. The heavy reliance on pattern reflects the product itself while the centerpiece model that changes as you scroll reminds me of those paper dolls of youth.

KrystalraeWhile the weekend was a true scorcher, I'm thankful that things weren't as bad as they are in this week's video by Jacob Streilein. While a beautiful and poignant piece of animation, let us pray global warming never gets so bad. And it if it does, make sure you have a wrench handy.

Mud in Mire

This past weekend would seem have to finally announced that Spring is most definitely here. Yet like all good things, it comes at a cost: a rainy Monday. Now don't get me wrong, I love the rain.  But when you're trying to get out of bed to get to work the last thing you want to see is a gray sky and hear the pitter-patter of droplets the size of peas outside your window. On the other hand, there's nothing quite like running through the rain at night and dancing away in its cleansing glory, even in a city like New York where the rain is not quite so clean. Moreover there are whole dances and songs devoted to the power of rain. Rain is an inspiring life-giving force.Rain Walk

My least favorite thing about rain is all the umbrellas even though I occasionally use one myself. Those pointy tips at eye level height (for the six foot tall guy I am) are outright scary, especially in the crowded streets of the city in weather that makes everyone look at their feet. My favorite thing is the texture of rain, from the puddles in the street to the rivulets running down a window. Gregory Thielker captures the surreal world as witnessed through rain soaked car windows in a series of oils that gives this writer pause.

Complete StopCash Only

These works take me back to that strange and magnificent land of the road trip while searching for fun things to do in Omaha. We spend so much time in the car, alone or together, it can often feel claustrophobic. However, in the rain a car feels like the best place in the world to be: safe, warm and dry while still managing to get where you need to go. Thielker's paintings capture this space with incredible detail while using the distortion of the water on glass to evoke nuances of abstraction and surrealism.

Raindrops fall into a puddle, making ripples in the water much like how this week's site behaves upon opening the page. Vlog.it is a HTML5 animation extravaganza featuring the video choices of one Marco Rosella. This piece is full of animations up to its eyeballs and is great showcase of what is possible in the post-Flash era. The sheer amount of animation can cause less-than-fluid transitions and usability but the overall result is as progressive as it is stunning.

Vlog.it

And lastly who do we have to thank for this life essence that magically falls upon us from the sky? Watering our yards? Filling our drains? Delaying traffic? The clouds, white and gray, puffy and thick, Cummulus and Nimbus.

Masts and Mollusca

Mother's Day may be past but the mother to us all, and in fact all life, gets little mention on that holiday. The Ocean is a universal inspiration not just to man but all living things. I was in Atlantic City visiting my grandmother over the weekend where I swam in the shockingly cold water. It was both invigorating and cleansing. Despite its frigid touch I was hard pressed to leave the water for the comfort of the sand and towel. I feel a deep connection to the ocean and water in general. And though the ocean's surface is a simple blue pattern stretching to the horizon, something about it is undeniably inspiring.Whale of a Time

Matt Wisniewski communicates his love of the ocean, and many other aspects of nature, in his series of beautiful photo manipulations and double exposures. Part of the magic of his work is the way he blurs the line between the digital and physical. However due to the precise composition of each piece, I can't imagine how he would manage such meticulous works with one-off double exposures. I love the way he creates a symbiotic relationship between model and landscape, the water becoming part of the figure but the figure also extending the ocean. Lastly, his combination of modeled and found photography leads to truly riveting temporal mash-ups.

My Home is the SeaMy Home is the SeaThe nature of the ocean is undeniably minimalist. The ocean is in fact a force of simplification and minimalism. Place any object in the tides and soon it will be smoothed--even later it will be nothing but sand. Swellca.st reproduces this reduction in web form with a delightful site that combines landscape photography and infographic. The sharp design, clear interface and quick response of the site are a true pleasure, not to mention a very useful tool for beach goers...if you're in Australia.

Swllca.stHowever not all oceans are resplendent in their green and blue. Some are only mirages where the seemingly endless reveals itself to be a desert. The Salton Sea (not quite an ocean but large nonetheless) was one such false promise. It's life is a truly interesting parable on boom and bust, the death spasms of which left behind a strange setting you may have seen in some music videos. Yet the following short documentary by Ransom Riggs tells the whole story in an incredibly moving way.

The Motherly Mechanism

A little bonus Sketching Mechanism for you all out there as an homage to Mother's Day this weekend. I made this watercolor card for my grandmother and thought I'd share it with you all (after Photoshopping her name out!). Print the inside and outside images in this zip at full size, one per sheet (standard letter). Fold, cut along the crop marks and then glue the sheets back to back. Sign after the heart on the inside and voila! Instant motherly happiness! Alternatively you could just print the outside and write your own message inside. Make sure to take a moment to appreciate the miracle and gift of motherhood as you celebrate your own mater. Have a great Mother's Day weekend and enjoy the wonderful weather.

May 7, 2012 - Comments Off on Marvel to Mesopotamia

Marvel to Mesopotamia

In honor of the Avengers coming out this past weekend, I thought it was time we celebrate the inspirational power of the super-human, so idolized and adored by pop culture. Superheroes are nothing new. In fact one could say they're some of the oldest detritus of human culture. The idea of an übermensch can be seen going back to one of the most ancient of epics: Gilgamesh. His power? Super strength. His weakness? Friends. Gilgamesh (not the most stunning of reads I must confess) could easily be spun as a modern paperback lark where Gilagmesh and his sidekick Enkidu go on a series of harrowing adventures. When we read these stories of super powered men and women, whether now in modern metropolises or cities of old, they teach us valuable lessons showing how even heroes can falter. Mechman

But another part of the magic of superheroes is that they just don't seem to die. I don't mean the characters themselves but what they stand for. As with Gilgamesh, it's easy to draw comparisons from many of our favorite modern heroes to their ancient counterparts (Superman and Hercules, Flash and Ares, etc). This fact hints at the underlying truth that these fictional heroes strike at something core to our cultural identity as human beings and it's artists like Kris Anka who help enable this perpetual cycle of mythology.

Avengers FilmHellboy Colablo

I've never been a huge capes and cowls fan. Instead I often reach for the more independent or atypical graphic novel. A large part of that is I find the stories, and more so the art, of those classic Marvel/DC series to be somewhat trite. But Anka breathes a fresh modern style into his tributes while maintaining their characters' essence making me yearn to read...though he doesn't seem to have done any actual books, just fan art. Yet his animation skills leave little question as to his ability.

Of course part of what makes superheroes so interesting is simply the fact that they are indeed super, or in the words of one German philosopher: über. Über Content seems to understand this power as embodied in their striking website. Fellow Youtube junkies may recognize team member Charlie Todd as founder of Improv Everywhere here in our very own NYC.

Uber Content

Beyond the crisp tight design of the site, Über Content does its umlaut proud with some wonderful hover states and some amazing screen adaptability which, at a glance, looks like a customized Get Skeleton layout (the new hotness around the office). I especially like how the site keeps the team member images at the top in an even grid with filler blue circles when necessary.

Yet for all the truly amazing heroes, there are also the ones that just can't quite live up to the name. Most heroes overcome this adversity to become truly super, something about great power, great responsibility yadda yadda etc etc. However, as this cute French short shows, sometimes even such happy endings might not be all their cracked up to be.
