Cool sights from above 04/13/2005 08:36 AM

Nicj has started aggregating cool snippets from Google Maps satellite photos. For example, here's Disneyland, Bill Gates' house, the Grand Canyon, and Mount St. Helens. The site credits the Google Sightseeing site for the idea...where, for example, you'll find a bunch of people who have spotted images with planes flying through them.

What's a namber? A namber is a word that acts as a mnemonic for a number. For example, 65 is drum, and 181 is push. A namber address uses an arbitrarily-chosen list of nambers to represent each of the numbers from 0 to 255 in order to assemble four words to represent any IP address. Metafilter.com's namber is earth .frog.brown.tooth, and mysteryrobot.com conveniently provides translation and forwarding to the real IP address.

55 Miles
08/04/2004 11:19 AM
Defcon, the hacker conference in Las Vegas held each year, established what might be a world record in Wi-Fi links: 55.1 miles: I wouldn't want to be standing between (or near) the two points, but it's a great achievement in the best hacker tradition.
