We are thinking about switching from oil heat to a geothermal system to heat and cool our 1200 sf cape in western massachusetts. If you have a geothermal system are you happy with it? Have you had any problems? How much did the conversion cost? What are the monthly costs associated with it? Do you know of a reputable installer in our area?

Harder, better, stronger, faster
- Hilty and Bosch, often called the masters of locking, pair up with Co-Thkoo to serve up 10 riveting minutes of dance. The routine to Daft Punk's classic starting about midway in the clip is brilliant. [more]

I've had what I think is a decent idea for a website. Rather than asking someone to "punch it up" in their "spare time" I'd like to learn to do it myself. I know a bit about html and took a turbo pascal class 11 years ago. Since then it's been all humanities, social science, and law. What do I need to learn and what, in your experience, are the best books/web sites to learn from?

The rapid growth of electronic trading
since 1976 has benefited equity market participants by improving competition, reducing cost and increasing liquidity while insuring better pricing.
One unexpected side effect has been the recent emergence of
"dark pools of liquidity", or the secret stock market.

With a pickup mounted on the body of the instrument just below the strings,
Revathy Krishna,
KP Sarada and Sivanandam and
Jayanthi Kumaresh get an unexpectedly fat sound out of their
veena. Rocking! The instrument is more often amplified with a microphone, in which case it sounds more like this performance by
D. Balakrishna, who, as you'll hear, ain't no slouch, neither. And here
Pichumani gets his
groove on, no doubt about it. So, hey, two more raags for the road, courtesy of
Rajeswari Padmanabhan. The second tune on her clip, by the way, has got some
deep blues in it, so I'm thinking maybe Rajeswari might've been down to the crossroads at midnight...

Classical Music Filter: Can anyone recommend pieces of classical piano music in a similar style to the
Sonatica by Bear McCreary from Battlestar Galactica? I have some Olivier Messiaen stuff in a similar vein but would love more in the same mellow, slightly offkilter and whistful piano style. Thanks!

The intersect of data visualization and aural phenomena is a fascinating space, from simple chartings of the history of
sampling to mapping the entire
world of music (or even
just electronica). Pop songs become
sketches, iTunes libraries become
twisted geometric forms, and last.fm listening behaviors form coloured
orbs and
waves. The collaborative networks of
comtemporary rappers,
jazz musicians, and
classical composers are revealing of specific and meaningful community structures. Explore
the algorithmic music of Stephan Wolfram's computational universe,
listen to pi or
e or
the Mona Lisa or
the weather or the
temperature in New York City,
discover the shape of sound, or just, you know,
see music.
Use the
Echo Nest to visualize your own music (
example),
tag your music collection with colours, or just wade through the
plethora of
ways to map connections between
artists and
genres.

High Dynamic
Range Imaging: The
dawn of a new era? In computer graphics and cinematography, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI for short) is a set of techniques that allow a far greater dynamic range of exposures than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes, ranging from direct sunlight to the deepest shadows. quote from HDR Wikipedia page

I love reading sites like kottke.org and Neatorama (and, of course, Metafilter). It's exciting - I never know what I'll come across next. What are some other sites that have lots of interesting stuff, preferably on a daily basis (but less often is fine as long as the content is high quality)?

The '
Neutral Hills' is the name given to a range of hills in east central Alberta (Canada) that were shared hunting grounds for the Blackfoot and Cree Indian tribes. Because of its importance to the tribes, the area was designated as 'neutral' for hunting only, not fighting. The area ranges from the village of Veteran as far east as Major, Saskatchewan, and from just south of the town of Provost to the community of Esther. Every image posted on this site was captured within the Neutral Hills region.

What hardware and software give you the best writing experience?
Hardware, like models of laptops, pdas, typewriters, keyboards, mice, etc
Software like apps, webapps, userscripts, preferences, etc
And in addition to your personal preference, what would you recommend to me if I want to have this gloarious writing experience on an all-day battery?
