http://gazetteer .hometownlocator.com/index.cfm

Here's an easy way to get Census data for your hometown. The Hometown Locator - Gazetteer allows you to type in your hometown and get highly detailed Census information, topographic maps, and aerial photos. While the Census data is not in a geographic format like TIGER data the Hometown Locator provides many attributes you may not find in other sources such as employment facts and income levels. You can even find out how many people drive, walk, or take the bus to work. The site also provides links to TerraServer for downloadable aerial photography, MapQuest, and Topozone. This has been added to Business Intelligence Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.[EAST GIS News Vol 1, Issue 8]

Agere Hometown is Wi-Fi Void

Agere Hometown is Wi-Fi Void 01/19/2004 01:59 PM
The Lehigh Valley, home to Agere, has just ten public hotspots: This writer supposes that people who live there are more satisfied with cheap dial-up connections than younger or more affluent people in other towns. Lehigh residents have a lower average household income and a lower educational average than the rest of the country. She looked for Wi-Fi users at Borders and another book shop in town, Moravian, but rarely found anyone using the networks. New technology does often take longer to filter into small towns....

Haunted Mansion castmember's remembrance

Haunted Mansion castmember's remembrance 09/17/2004 02:50 AM
Cory Doctorow: Here's the first-person account of a summer student intern at Walt Disney World who got the killer assignment of working at the Haunted Mansion (what a dream gig!):

I hated being told I wasn’t scary. I hated being made fun of for my deep Southern accent. I hated the fact that I was a southern happy blonde with pigtails stuck in a dark damp Mansion. Then I gave it a chance. I realized I was lucky to have such a highly coveted position. I slowly let myself fall into the role and was thrilled the first time I actually scared a guest. I learned that many of my fellow cast members weren’t as rude and sarcastic as they seemed, they just really took pride in their job. And I found my spot in the Mansion crew. I was the one that lost children were taken to because I was probably the least scary. I was the one that parents turned to for an encouraging word to convince their children to try the ride. The first time a six year old boy came running out of the Mansion with a huge smile to give me a hug before getting back on the ride, I finally felt like I had a place at the Mansion.

The Haunted Mansion Fan Club has shut down for one month in solidarity with Roy Disney's resignation from the Walt Disney Company's board of directors, and they're calling for a one-month boycott of Disney parks and movies in order to convince Michael Eisner to resign.

The list of accusations leveled against Mr. Eisner by family groups, children advocates, safety officials, the press, consumers, stock holders, and Disney cast members is voluminous and can no longer be ignored or tolerated. Don't stand by as this man leads to ruin the dreams and memories of untold millions of people. Help take back OUR magical kingdom and restore what Walt created and gave to us. Enough is enough.

Cory Doctorow: Drum|head is an interactive project by Murat Konar, a student at London's Royal College of Art. It starts with a wig-stand with a computer-projected clip of a face on it (this is the same effect used for the "singing busts," "Madame Leota" and "Little Leota" at the Haunted Mansion in they Disney parks). A piezoelectric sensor detects it when you whack the head with a stick, cueing a drum sound and a funny facial-expression animation. The video is hilarious. Link (via We Make Money Not Art)

Muni-Fi Watch; San Antonio, West
Virginia 04/03/2005 12:23 AM

San Antonio considers municipal broadband network: A non-profit is working on a plan to offer low-cost Internet access to poorer residents of San Antonio and wants to work with the city to offer free wireless hotspots. The Texas house bill that prohibits municipal networks would disallow this kind of cooperation. (It might even doom some of Austin Wireless's projects that involve city help, founder Rich MacKinnon mentioned during South by Southwest interactive a few weeks ago.)

The reporter quoted the New Millennium Research Council's concern about muni networks, but tried to get the executive director, Alan Hepner, to identify funding for the report and the group, which he refused to. This is a step in the right direction. In the past, they just denied a connection--well, at least their partner on the report The Heartland Institute did. C'mon, Alan, you're listed as an assistant vice president at Issue Dynamics; the NMRC site says it's a project of IDI; the IDI site describes its relationship with NMRC as the council providing clients briefs, analysis, and research; and SBC is a listed IDI client (as well as Verizon, Qwest,, BellSouth, and Comcast, and, bizarrely, several no-longer-in-existence firms Pacific Bell, Ameritech, and GTE). Your cover is blown. Let's drop the pretense. [link via Muniwireless.c om]

West Virginia's pro-muni, pro-competitive bill morphs into deadly form: The quintessential quote from an elected legislator: '"We were moving toward a compromise with the industry," said Helmick, D-Pocahontas. "But they don’t want the bill, and they’re going to be against it."' I've forgotten, Senator from Verizon--who elected you?

The revised bill guts municipalities' self-determination and eliminates their ability to sell bonds to fund efforts. [link via Muniwireless.c om]

Playboy game launch party at Playboy
Mansion, LA 05/12/2004 02:12 PM
Most of the time, the life of a wayward freelance geek journalist is fraught with stress, challenges, unpaid invoices. Well, last night wasn't one of those times. I went to the Playboy Mansion to interview Hugh Hefner, and cover the launch of a new Playboy-themed electronic game for Wired News and National Public Radio. In the game, you get to be Hef, doing hefsterly things like -- oh, nailing 18 year old hotties, and managing a booming porn publication empire.

I sat down with Mr. Hefner and his gorgeous companions, and asked him if he felt the game designers had created an accurate virtual depiction of the world in which he lives. "It's pretty good, other than the fact that they gave me this giant Jay Leno chin," he said. There was much butt cleavage in effect. Beautiful women with tromp l'oeil lingerie painted on their perfectly engineered breasts served little snacks off flawlessly polished silver platters (see image at left). Oh, and in case you're wondering -- there is no WiFi inside the grotto, although there is one very heavily used mattress. NPR and Wired News stories coming up.
