Not really Art History but still cool use of the medium.
I particularly like the quote “All my life I had seen in black and white and… now shocking technicolour. The single most transformative moment in my life.”

For those unfamiliar with Mozart TURN UP the volume and press play:
While I have heard an amazing version of the Kyrie in la Madeleine in Paris
few years ago, for me this moment of revelation was Bach’s Toccata & Fugue in d minor.
Again TURN UP the volume and BASS, imagine yourself 18 years old, alone in France, and standing in the middle of the labyrinth in Chartre Cathedral when suddenly:
Press play:
The day before the world had exploded into Technicolour as I stood in front of my first Van Gogh.
It is also called an epiphany

SketchUp
Google Sketchup for Dummies
from Boing Boing by Mark Frauenfelder
SketchUp is Google’s free 3D drawing program. It’s easy to use, but it’s even easier when you watch someone with a lot of SketchUp experience use the application and explain what they’re doing.
Aidan Chopra is an experienced SketchUp user. In fact, he wrote Google SketchUp for Dummies. (Here’s PC World’s generally glowing review of Chopra’s book.) He also created several videos available on his YouTube page that will get you quickly up to speed on the way SketchUp works. Link

HOWTO Use Creative Commons licenses
Posted by Cory Doctorow, November 9, 2007 12:06 AM | permalink
My latest Locus column is online: “Creative Commons” explains the fundamentals of using CC licenses for people who are interested in the idea but haven’t tried it yet. I get a lot of email from people asking just how you apply licenses to your work.
After you check off a few boxes on the Creative Commons license form, you’ll get a page with the license for your work. This consists of a short block of computer code you paste into your book, image, web page, or what-have-you. This code displays a graphic badge showing the license you’ve chosen, with a link back to the license and a block of hidden “machine readable” text. This is text that search-engines can use to figure out which files are shared, and under which terms (you can limit searches on Flickr, Google, or Yahoo to only show Creative Commons licensed results).
Additionally, the machine-readable version links to two other versions of the licenses — a “human readable” plain-language version that can be understood by anyone, and a “lawyer-readable” version of small print that says the same thing in legally binding terms.
Creative Commons licenses are international — over 80 countries have their own CC projects — and something licensed under CC in the USA can be combined with Israeli, Indian, Brazilian, Spanish, British, South African and German CC works without violating the terms of any of their licenses.

“Many students spend a lot of time playing games. If we can present education in a way that is similar to what is attracting them, then they spend some of that time educating themselves instead of just playing without any benefit. That would be good.”
—Dr. Irene Cheng, Adjunct Professor of Computing Science, University of Alberta
