A satin Bower bird
(male) above

TOTALLY random stuff I've collected on the web and doesn't have a place in the jazz guitar, ukulele or main publishing pages on the site.

I remember seeing a this bird on TV years ago. And, it stuck with me. Some of the strangest things get into ones's long term memory. Good for Trivial Pursuit but not much more.

Just like the Bower bird that collects a variety of objects like shells, leaves, flowers, feathers, stones, berries, and even discarded plastic items. A bower's U-shaped nest, a structure of sticks and leaves can include hundreds of these objects. The bird will spend hours carefully sorting and arranging his collection, with each thing in a specific place.

All of this to attract the female Bower bird. The things we do!!!

    An aerial photographic survey of the California Coastline. Over 34,557 photographs (totaling over 231GB) of the current California coast are now online, covering from the Oregon Border (42N latitude) to the Mexican Border (32.5N latitude), except for the Vandenberg AFB restricted area. An additional 5833 images from 1972, 8000 images from 1979, 4173 images from 1987, and 1074 images from 1989 are now online.

The ISO date format click to show or hide or section

 

The international format defined by ISO (IS0 8601) tries to address all these problems by defining a numerical date system as follows: YYYY-MM-DD where

  • YYYY is the year [all the digits, i.e. 2012]
  • MM is the month [01 (January) to 12 (December)]
  • DD is the day [01 to 31]

For example, "3rd of April 2002", in this international format is written: 2002-04-03.

Note that this format can also be used to represent precise date and time, with timezone information

Using numerical dates does have also some pitfalls with regard to readability and usability, as explained in the Date formats FAQ. Albeit not perfect, ISO date format is, however, the best choice for a date representation that is universally (and accurately) understandable.
