3. April, 2003 - Play Ball
- Baseball season’s starting and The Minnesota Historical Society has an exhibit called
Play Ball
–including historical artifacts of the Minneapolis Millers, The St. Paul Saints and the Minnesota Twins. Looks cool. And tomorrow’s the home opener for the Twins. But it's still a month and a half until the Saints start. Sigh. [Jim]
- I spent some time the other night walking through macosxhints. Hey, there’s some pretty darned useful things there.
- Seamless city
is a continuous visual image of the city made up of sequential photos of a walk through the city shot from a pedestrian point of view. Each image is visually connected to the next as the objects are in the real world.
It’s an idea I’ve thought about for the section of the Mississippi here in Minneapolis, but gosh that’d be an awful lot of pictures, and I haven’t had great luck making panoramas from even a single location (stitching pictures that include a bunch of river is something most stitching software is pretty bad at). [boing boing]
- Annual Perserverance as Measured With Google Hits measures how many first annual, second annual, etc., events there are on the net using google. No big surprise that the peak is for second annual and it falls off pretty fast from there. Maybe a guy could talk a bunch of websites into having the seventh annual something or other now, just to skew the data. [boing boing]
- Speaking of google, Microsoft Says to Take Aim at Google, and plans to build a better search engine. [fark!]
- Pizza Box or IMac? No, an IBox. The first Apple clone since Apple terminated its cloned licensing program in 1997. A guy in Chanhassen (a southwestern suburb of Minneapolis) wants to try it, building boxes from parts sold by Apple for repairs. There’s a good change he’ll end up facing some legal challenges from Apple.
