Wadi Al-Salaam: The Largest Cemetery in The World via Amusing Planet
Wadi us-Salaam, which literally means the Valley of Peace, is an Islamic cemetery located in the holy city of Najaf, Iraq. The cemetery covers an area of 1485.5 acres and contains millions of bodies, making it one of the strongest contender for the title of the largest graveyard on earth. Najaf itself is one of Iraq’s biggest cities, with a population of nearly 600,000. But the adjoining city of the dead holds the remains of millions, stretching for up to 10km along the valley. Wadi Al-Salam cemetery is also the only cemetery in the world where the process of burial is still continuing to day since more than 1,400 years.
Photos of Patterns and Repetition Spotted During Urban Exploration
Take a look at photographer Jared Lim‘s portfolio, and many of his photographs might look to you like they’re the product of liberal Photoshop Clones Stamp usage. They feature repeating shapes, colors, and patterns found in various cities’ urban environments.
Based in Singapore, Lim is an urban explorer — he calls himself a “wanderer” — and says he has always been drawn to geometry, lines, curves, patterns, and abstract designs.
Thus, architectural photography has been a natural fit for him ever since he picked up a camera. While traveling to different cities around the world for his travel industry job, Lim captures things that catch his eye in monochrome, in color, and on the street.
In an interview over on Chase Jarvis’ blog, Lim says he does minimal editing on his images:
I try to get my composition and lighting right during shooting so as to minimize the amount of post correction work. Post work mainly involves correction of lens distortion and perspective, because I am rather meticulous in my composition. I love strong colors and most of my work reflects that.
You can find more of Lim’s work over on his website and on his 500px page. You can also connect with him through Facebook.

Top 5 Google Reader Alternatives that work with Buffer
There is no doubt that you have heard about the uproar on Twitter and the blogosphere: Google Reader is shutting down.
As of July 1, 2013 Google will discontinue Google Reader and shut down the site. A lot of people, who have been using Buffer with Google Reader got in touch with us yesterday asking if there is any way to keep reading their RSS feeds whilst sharing their articles with Buffer. And most importantly a Google Reader alternative to be safe after the site shuts down.
And fortunately, the answer is yes. There are a few amazing apps you can check out that come with full Buffer integration who are awesome Google Reader alternatives. Here is a list of the top 8:
1.) Feedly (Web, iPhone & iPad)
Without doubt Feedly tops the list. Feedly comes with full Buffer support for both the web and iOS. And the integration, so users tell us, is the most seamless way to share great articles, links and more with Buffer.
On top of that Feedly also announced that they will be a complete replacement for Google Reader. They have created a clone of the Google Reader API and so will create their own infrastructure to support your RSS feeds. Just sign up with Google Reader and you are safe.
2.) Reeder (iPhone)
Another one of the favorite apps to used together with Buffer is Reeder. The app, shortly after the Google announcement, also promised all users that their support will continue.
Don’t worry, Reeder won’t die with Google Reader.

As for Buffer integration, Reeder has one of the slickest way to Buffer your articles from iPhone with the click of a button:
3.) Caffeinated (Mac)
Another beautiful way to keep reading your RSS feeds was announced by Caffeinated. It’s a slick Mac app that lets you add to Buffer super easily whenever you are reading an article:
4.) Feeddler (iPhone)
Another great RSS reader for the iPhone also came to rescue for die hard Google Reader fans. Anyone who is using Feeddler on the iPhone with their RSS feeds connected will be able to do so even after Google shuts down Google Reader.
And the Buffer integration works super slick on Feeddler:
5.) Mr. Reader (iPad)
A fantastic way to keep using your RSS feeds from Google Reader for the iPad comes from Mr.Reader. It’s a beautiful app that comes with one of the most advanced Buffer integrations:
Mr.Reader let’s you create templates of how you want to share articles with Buffer. You can for example always use “quotes” a “via username” or a default link shortening option this way:
So Google Reader is dead – and that’s a good thing!
Although at first I was at grief about the death of Google Reader I soon realized what lots of others have noted by now. The fact that Google Reader is dead is awesome. It will allow for lots of innovation in the space to happen that couldn’t before as Google Reader wasn’t changing.
Marco Arment put it very well:
“we’re finally likely to see substantial innovation and competition in RSS desktop apps and sync platforms for the first time in almost a decade.”
And the fact that this isn’t just a prediction, but something that’s actually happening was quickly proven by Feedly. The startup has built a Google Reader API clone called “Normandy” that will have the exact capabilities that Google Reader had.
And now imagine a few months down the road the amazing things Feedly will be able to build as they continue to innovate as a platform from now onwards. I expect some incredible new things to happen here in the near future. I predict that a few years from now we might joyfully pronounce today even “happy Google-Reader-is-dead day”.
I hope the above apps will help you to seamlessly migrate from Google Reader to other awesome apps. What are your thoughts on these recent developments? Do you see it as much of an opportunity of new awesome things to happen as I do?

Life Advice from Machines: Um Tumblr com a verdadeira sabedoria das redes
De tempos em tempos você se depara com um Tumblr que parece que foi feito para você, se apegando às fotos e frases que fazem boas observações sobre a vida. Life Advice from Machines pode ser um desses.
Em uma era onde a tecnologia nos engrandece e está totalmente inseria na vida, faz sentido buscar também por palavras de sabedoria que venham destas ferramentas.
Life Advice from Machines se apropria de insights retirados de manuais de instruções de aparelhos comuns, e nos mostra como são aplicáveis não somente em instalar ou fazer funcionar uma máquina, mas também nós mesmos.
Revelando as verdades por trás de uma TV, de uma impressora ou de uma câmera fotográfica, temos frases como “Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times”, retirada do manual de uma DREMEL MultiPro Rotary Tool, que nos faz carregá-la como um mantra de meditação ou filosofia de livro de bolso.
Quem diria que grandes conselhos de vida estariam escondidos bem debaixo do nariz, por entre estes inseparáveis aparelhos que nos fazem funcionar.
Na teoria da socióloga Tricia Wang, uma rede como o Facebook, que impõe registrar o nome real e consiste de familiares e amigos de uma pessoa, incentiva o uso limitado de identidade e expressão.
Tumblrs
como este mostram que não é uma surpresa a ferramenta ter se tornado mais popular entre os adolescentes do que qualquer Twitter ou Facebook. Ao contrário destas redes, o Tumblr pode ser simplesmente um nome na tela, sem qualquer traço da sua vida social.Por outro lado, o Tumblr permite criar, experimentar e jogar. Cada tumblr criado é como um novo “eu”, testando e colocando tudo para fora para ver onde se encaixa. Pode ser uma página só de GIFs, uma de fotos de viagem, outra de frases de amor, e também dos desenhos que faz nas horas vagas. Ou até, como neste exemplo, a busca por significados e histórias nos lugares mais inusitados.

paul: v
[corrientes, 1301] sentou-se e pediu um café. olhou para a rua e lembrou do furacão distante que entrava por outra porta, em outro lugar. o garçon não perdeu tempo: de volta? sorriu, mas não respondeu. já estive aqui e não sabia, ironizou para si mesmo. de onde me conhecerá? ou será que sou eu que não me conheço?, pensou, mas já sem ironia. veio o seu expresso juntamente com um sumo de laranja, costume da ouro preto e de mais lugares - conforme lhe explicaram num dia ou numa noite de palermo. pegou no livro que acabara de comprar num sebo, minutos antes, poucas portas atrás. folheou as páginas de cortazar e perguntou-se, juntamente com o escritor, se a solidão absoluta é possível e pensou nos visitantes inesperados e improváveis. já refletira e se refletira nisso antes, em outra cidade, noutros tempos.
acordou de um cochilo. ainda sem noção do tempo ouviu de novo o garçon: paul, o que importa é saberes por onde tu andas no meio disso tudo. no meio destas tuas memórias e presentes. é tão difícil guardar um rio quando ele corre dentro de nós.
