Fun Interweb Linkage
- All Streets by Ben Fry – Cool street map of the U.S. I can’t imagine how long this took to put together.
- Cities at Night – Aerial view of various cities aglow at night. I love the blue glow of Japan.
- The Billy Letters – Totally fascinating project by Radar where a man poses as a 10-year old kid and writes letters to politicians and serial killers alike and gets interesting responses.
- CERN’s Large Hadron Collider – A real life time machine. Well, kinda. Technically it’s a particle accelerator. It’s planned to start operating this summer, and no one really knows what’s going to happen. Really interesting stuff. More info here and here.
- That’s what she said – I love Michael Scott.
Utah Jazz!
I was fortunate enough last week to make it out to both games 3 and 4 of the current playoff series versus the Houston Rockets. I’ve was a huge Jazz fan back in 90’s while Stockton and Malone were tearing it up, and within the last 2 years have had a resurgence of fandom due to Deron Williams leading Utah their recent success. We’re inches away from beating Houston, and on to face the Lakers (!), so it is just going to get better. This young group has a load of talent and many years of success ahead of them. Go Jazz!
Cha Cha: Ask Away
So I recently discovered ChaCha, a question and answer service for mobile phone users… so, for everyone basically. Not only is the service accurate, but it is fun to use and remarkably friendly as the answers are delivered in “conversational english”, which essentially means an actual person is answering your question. Just last night I got answers to my questions about NBA trades, Taco Bell commercials, and LOST characters. You have to use it to really understand how great it is. Next time you have a question and you’re not near a computer with internet access, text it to ChaCha (242242), and bask in the brilliance of technology.
