Along with other curious New Yorkers I hiked over to the river to see Robert Smithson’s Floating Island this past weekend. The tug captain made a good show, pulling in close to shore and rotating the barge holding the tons of soil, ten or so trees and a few large rocks for full viewing. After [...]

Who Let The Killer Dolphins Out
Posted in POLITICS, WTF? on September 26, 2005 | Comments Off
Great. Just when you thought is was safe to paddle out and escape the stresses of dealing with airport and subway security you discover someone forgot to disarm the killer dolphins when Katrina hit: My concern is that they have learnt to shoot at divers in wetsuits who have simulated terrorists in exercises. If divers [...]

via: Om Malik Solving the problem of connecting displaced individuals via a simple voicemail scheme is something Dan Schoeffler has brainstormed and implemented. He calls it Contact Loved Ones. For example, Jane is looking for her missing father. She calls CLO’s toll-free number and enters his usual telephone number. She can then leave a voice [...]

From Joan Touzet’s blog: Here is a mirrored copy of the mp3 of the WWL radio interview with Mayor Ray Nagin of New Orleans. Warning, strong language and reality check.
