I saw an LSJ article this morning about a computer engineering student at MSU that has put together a cool new website, SpartyLive.com. It’s a Google Maps/Earth mashup that zooms to any of the landmarks on campus. You select any place on campus, and it shows where it is. It also has overlays for other [...]
CNN has a fascinating excerpt from TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year – You. Er, me. Errr, all of us. I found it appropriately summed up a big chunk of the state of the Internet at this point in time. People are collaborating, sharing, and creating content that at any other time in history would [...]
I think I finally have everything moved over to the new server now.
For lack of a better place, and laziness in emailing everyone, here’s a lowdown: Some of you may have noticed that the FT site was down or slow most of this morning and early afternoon.

Some things I collected throughout the day: Via Wired, an article about a rare disorder that causes a person to be “face blind”.
