Landscapes of Time
Sunday, January 28th, 2007My mind keeps coming back to Brian Greene’s The Elegant Universe and The Fabric of the Cosmos.
The premise of both books deals with String Theory, but as an aside the books are great for understanding the history of physics from Einstein to present day. My fascination comes with the concepts of time discussed […]
Remnants
Friday, January 12th, 2007I’m starting a new web project. I know, I know.. the old one isn’t finished yet, but I can do both. For the time being it’s called Remnants, and it’s about photodocumenting (and mapping) what’s left from the Pacific Electric railway in Los Angeles, once the largest system in the world. I’ve […]

Nodal Cartography
Tuesday, June 20th, 2006
This website has a java applet that dynamically maps out the nodes of any website address you plug in. The websites above are (in order) this blog, the Archartis Project, the Los Angeles Times, and forum for Lost: Season 2 finale at Television Without Pity.
There is even a Flickr set dedicated to the different […]
Earth Sandwich Project
Monday, June 19th, 2006Zefrank has another great video blog entry. And since it talks about using Google Maps, its awesomeness level naturally increases. :)
The Earth Sandwich Project attempts to make a sandwich out of, well, the Earth.
Google Maps is the Best
Tuesday, April 25th, 2006It’s finally happened. Google Maps is providing street coverage for all of Europe instead of just England.
They really thought it out too, before it was released. Street addresses are searchable in much the same way they are in the US maps. Places are also indexed, such as universites and parks.
The thing I’m […]
