By the end of the century nearly 50% of all species on the planet will be gone. Most will perish simply because they do not have enough time to adapt to rapidly changing environmental conditions. But what if there were gadgets (or services) that would help plants and animals transcend time and make the evolutionary leap? What if there was a Whole Earth Catalog for the non- human among us (eat your heart out, Stewart Brand)?</div> </blockquote>http://notes.husk.org/post/51184692901http://notes.husk.org/post/51184692901Fri, 24 May 2013 00:55:00 +0100imagecooper parlorrabbitaugmentationsan franciscoeventillustration<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/9daadf9092eb094e685f78850aea2255/tumblr_mmwgjbqikR1qz58mbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This is a pretty good example of <a href="http://www.robinsloan.com/note/flip-flop/">the flip-flop</a>: the <a href="http://other-wordly.tumblr.com/post/27429067169/tsundoku">original image</a> (“<a href="http://other-wordly.tumblr.com/post/27429067169/tsundoku"><span class="date">posted 10 months ago</span> with 18,237 notes</a>”) gets printed out, annotated (apparently by a <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/1efnug/">twelve year old</a>) and then gets a new lease of life <a href="http://the-owls-are-not-what-they-seem.tumblr.com/post/50569359883/tsundoku-as-illustrated-by-a-twelve-year-old">on Tumblr</a>.
