This YouTube video is interesting. Paperclips responding to the electric motor under the floor of a train. I’m pretty certain that this will also work on the Toronto subway (sit above the wheels).

Excellent. Last night (night of March 18) it was still stuck to the ceiling.

Stayed in a hotel just off Wall st. Here is a photograph of Wall St. 1. Lots of police. The NY Stock Exchange is just visible in the photo.

This image shows the entire length of Wall St. The tall buildings at the end of the street are actually across the river in Brooklyn.

  1. I did not know that it had been closed to traffic. ↑

The village’s last male inhabitant died in 2007. The scene is being repeated across Russia, the world’s biggest country, where there are at least 34,000 villages inhabited by 10 people or fewer, almost all of them old women.”

Sigh.

It is a clock. I put it there to remind me of the constant, unrelenting passage of time. It tells the time, it counts the time passing and it counts down to the day my personal odometer records another year gone.

yaaay! It was, contrary to how it may seem from the description above, a lot of fun to work on.

happy monday.

Starting tomorrow, of course.

I’m still playing around with it (and am being delightfully surprised by some of the more subtle changes).

My friend also updated her MacBook Pro to Leopard. There’s a new feature that allows one machine running leopard to view (and control) the screen of another machine running leopard on the same network. (Don’t panic, they need full user name and password access and this feature is turned off by default.) Well, Cara opened my screen on her machine. It was really strange. She could take control (opening files, moving windows etc.) I wanted to see what would happen if, while she had my screen open on her desktop, I opened her screen on mine. The result is really neat!
