Poll

Danny fixed the poll, so be sure to vote for Chester of the Month. Mega props to Danny for all the work he's done on the site during this transition. This wouldn't have happened without him.

Final Project

So I decided that for my final project in Audio/Visuals I am going to do it on LAN Parties. I am going to have a lot of fun with it. I am going to talk about how fun it is, and the different types of personalities at them, and all of that fun stuff. So if you have any suggestions or anything that you would want to send me that may help me out with this project, like diagrams of LAN party set ups, then let me know. Also I think I want to put music in it or something like that. So please help, that would be great.

Google Sightseeing

There have been quite a few sites spring up that are dedicated to the most interesting finds from Google Maps' satellite images.

This image in Dallas shows where two different perspectives meet and overlap. One building leans right and one leans left.

Here is a huge triangle with circles inside. I think it's some kind of bombing target for an air force base.

Who knew that Arizona farmers liked Oprah so much?

The Space Needle in Seattle, WA.

Mount Rushmore.

Area 51. Though everyone knows that the interesting stuff there is underground.

There are several instances of large words spelled out in fields, but none are as large as this one.

And now some sites where you can do more Google sightseeing:

shreddies.org/gmaps
gmaps.nicj.net
returnofdesign.com
del.icio.us/knodi/google_maps
perljam.net

DSL Upgrade complete

DSL speed before upgrade:

Download: 322.87 kbps, Upload: 311.21 kbps

DSL speed after upgrade:

Download: 2.525 Mbps, Upload: 411.52 kbps

I ran the speed test here. I was led to believe that my upload speed would increase more dramatically than that. But, before the upgrade I was only supposed to be able to upload at 128 kbps.
