Holy Vandals, Holy Grail
Holy Vandals, Holy Grail
05/21/2004 11:17 AMAn historic monument in central England that may hold the key to the
location of the Holy Grail was damaged by vandals on Tuesday. The BBC
reports that "a gang of youths climbed on top of The Shepherd's
Monument at Shugborough Hall" and started smashing away.
"The Shepherd's Monument is of international importance,
both as a work of art and because of the legend that a baffling
inscription on the monument provides clues to the true location of the
Holy Grail," said the home's general manager Richard Kemp.
Interestingly, the vandalism came on the heels of a visit by former
code-breakers from War II intent on cracking the 10-letter puzzle. The
Shepherd's Monument is discussed in depth in the book
Holy
Blood, Holy Grail, inspiration for The Da Vinci Code.

Holy Bestseller, Holy Sequel
05/20/2004 11:37 AMThe Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown says he considered including
another theory in the book that would have inflamed Christians even
more than the notion that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and made
babies. What if Jesus
survived the crucifixion? According to this AP Article,
"Brown said the theory is backed by a number of 'very credible
sources,' but that he ultimately decided it was too flimsy." I'm
burned out on the whole
Holy
Blood, Holy Grail trip though. Brown's next book, set in
Washington, revolves around the Masons! Apparently, the dust jacket of
The Da Vinci Code contains a clue about the sequel.

04/15/2005 04:36 AMThe
possible puns regarding this story are practically endless, though the
Register does a good job of exploiting most of them: Two Intel
employees set up a hotspot at a research camp at the North Pole. It
uses Iridium phones for backhaul, which means the access is probably
excruciatingly slow, but people at the North Pole probably aren't
complaining. The deployment is purportedly meant to check out how the
equipment fares in such cold, wet weather, though there are plenty of
other such experiments that have been done for some time. Dave Hughes
has done tons of work in Alaska with wireless networks and he was also
instrumental in enabling the hotspot at Mt. Everest base camp in
Nepal.

Intel Goes Wireless At North Pole
04/15/2005 09:59 AM
While not busy encouraging the destruction of the original 'Moore's Law'
article, Intel's employees have installed a wireless hot spot near the
North Pole. Built in the Arctic region at the Barneo ice camp, Intel
Russia engineers installed an 802.11 b/g access point and established
a connection with four of their laptops, 78 miles from the North Pole
(using, of course, Centrino mobile technology to accomplish this
feat). The hot spot has since been taken down, but survived the cold
(-22°F or worse) and worked reliably. Of course, "Intel pointed to
the experiment as an example of how mobile technology allows users to
work anywhere," even if I can't get a signal in my own backyard.

Utility pole boxes as tourist maps
Utility pole boxes as tourist maps
07/26/2004 12:33 PM
Darren sez, "Victoria, Canada's City Engineering department has found
an inventive use for those ubiquitous traffic control boxes you see on
lamp and traffic light posts. In high pedestrian traffic areas,
they've pasted neighbourhood maps on them. The maps wrap around three
sides of the box, identifying areas of interest (as well as,
interestingly, the city's URL).
"What a great idea. Not only do they use existing visual real estate
(avoiding the need for other street-level maps), but it's a really
cheap, low-tech solution to graffiti. As a guy who spent two
sweltering summers across the street from the pictured box, at the
busiest Tourism Information Centre in the country, I appreciate any
non-human assistance for tourists."

07/25/2004 09:09 AMDavid Heinemeier Hansson has published the first release of Rails, his MVC
implementation for Ruby. Rails is the system David developed to power
BaseCamp, the 37 Signals
project management app. David had previously released Active
Record, his O-R mapping layer for Rails, which is the slickest
method of database access I've ever seen, so I'm excited to see what
his MVC implementation looks like.
We heard David speak at "The Building of BaseCamp" ,and he's a pretty impressive
guy. Most of the folks I've heard from with his level of skill have
been employees of Microsoft or Sun.

this article. I've always like the T because it is
one of the few dog-friendly mass transit systems in the U.S.
Probably best to leave at home anything that you don't want the police
to find, however. It isn't clear how effective this is going to
be as a security measure. Just as we often see airport security
folks taking apart 85-year-old grandmothers the Boston police say "the
planned searches will randomly pick out riders and are not aimed at
singling out anyone".

Busted in Tokyo for riding Segway

Friday, February
6, 2004 at 14:00 JST
TOKYO - Tokyo police sent papers to prosecutors Thursday on a
businessman over use of the U.S.-made Segway scooter vehicle on a
public road, an unusually strict move that marks the first time in
Japan that police have taken action over people riding the two-wheeled
novelty.
The police allege that the 42-year-old president of an import
company in the capital's Setagaya Ward violated the Road Traffic Law
by having a person drive a Segway on a public road in July last year
for advertising purposes.
Last year I tried to get the
government to relax its regulations to allow people to ride Segways,
but they wouldn't. I gave up the idea. I actually know this guy and he
was insistent that he could build a business importing Segways. I
guess not. This is pretty "unusually strict" but the police hate it
when you make money doing stuff that they don't approve of.
