A friend of mine has been seeking funding for a mass art project using GPS and 1,000 London residents. Basically the plan was to track the movements of these people over time and plot those movements across a map of London. Given the work Claire and I have been doing with location aware stuff (and specifically Claire’s visualisation work) we’d been talking for some time about the possibilities…
As with all these things however someone else is bound to get damn close before you. Not quite the same, but pretty cool nonetheless. Related - RadioTaxis GPS art - London Black Cabs produce more than talk radio for once…
At least according to this survey… Equally daft - the front page of silicon.com today has another poll: So, you’ve just bought your new mini iPod. Which of these would you be most likely to upload first? Given the nature of the list I’m guessing staffers at silicon.com are in their 50s…
I didn’t realise this, but apparently many inclusive call packages don’t cover calls to 0870 (or 0845) numbers. This means that although you may think you’re not paying for that national rate call to your bank or whatever, but in fact you are… Say No to 0870 lists alternate, geographic numbers (01 or 02 numbers) that will be covered by your inclusive minutes (and won’t be giving a cut to the business you’re calling).
This appears not to be a parody. Which is odd.
As usual, the Internet turns up whatever you’re looking for… Today it’s thrown up references for authors about autopsies and Old Western slang. Now I can write my 19th century cowboy medical novel with confidence…
Lunar Embassy claims to have exclusive rights to sell Lunar real estate. Lunar Federation claims to have exclusive rights to sell Lunar real estate. The only decent thing is to let them hammer it out in court. (Or perhaps I should just buy from both to be sure?)
By blending Barbie, of course.
