Just How Fast is Dubai Growing?

Magical Urbanism � Just How Fast is Dubai Growing?

check out these 2 pictures, just amazing that only in 14 years time.., its basically Sim City.

Industry experts cautiously estimate that 15 to 25 per cent of the world’s cranes are in Dubai. Some US$ 90 BILLION are on-going in Dubai alone.

Also, I recently saw an article on a local(Belgian) tv-station, Kanaal3, about Belgian dredging company Jan De Nul building a 310-hectare island on Dubai waterfront.
Check out this AMAZING video! with 3D view and everything.

Also, check out these Google Earth pictures.

This isn’t the last we’ll hear from Dubai. Must be the oil.

Josdigital’s Favorite Albums of 2009

Now that you're probably tired of these lists, here's mine. Am I the only one to deliberately wait until the year is over before starting this listmania frenzy? Maybe I just don't care about the ...

  Blockhead – “The Music Scene”
  
  Trippy, psychedelic colorful animations (aka just the way I like it) in tone with instrumentals from Aesop Rock’s man bring forth a well paced natural flow of images toward the music. Very well done.

  The Cinematic Orchestra – “Lilac Wine”
  
  Best known as Jeff Buckley’s adaptation, “Lilac Wine” performed by this Josdigital favorite is subtle, touching and ready to be played again and again. Stunning visuals comprised of calligraphy and hand drawing are nothing short of pure delicacy. Enjoy.

  Salem – “King Knight”
  
  Much anticipated is Salem’s King Knight lp out in September. Here’s their overdrowned in synths lo-fi crunk style best represented on its title track.

  All tracks sound amazingly chill and well directed. One to look out for.

  - Brooklyn's Finest (2009) 2/5

    "Training Day" director delivers in dark aesthetic but fails to give me any sort of drama or heartfelt emotion. Big talk with very little content.

  - World's Greatest Dad (2009/I) 4.5/5

    This is in no way a great film, but this movie really got a hold of me. It's something more than just jokes and thought, it's dark when it needs to be, satirical and vulgar at times. But the weird thing is that it all felt special, like a perfect cult film. Everything just felt right.

  - Remember Me (2010) 3.5/5
    2010-07-17 10:55
    
    The opening scene was powerful, the rest of the movie was one overly melodramatic scene, but the surprisingly dramatic wow-effect of the ending hugely makes up for it. Go see.

  - Youth in Revolt (2009) 3.5/5

    Surprisingly enjoyable, adventurous teenage romance. A little edgier than a teen comedy, but that's it.
