Damp and foggy. Good running weather. Went out too fast, but pulled it back towards the end.

Brain drain or just plain stressed out?

Some useful tips here, although nothing particularly new. Always good to see things in black and white; reminds you how important regaining perspective can be.

More Google map mashups

Paul — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 18:53:14 +0000

I saw MailboxMap a few months ago; a great mashups that helps you locate USPS mail boxes and post offices, and lists the pickup times. Since I know the details for most of the mail boxes near where I live it was interesting but not immediately useful. However, the other day I in a new part of town and needed a post box with an early pickup. Voila, MailboxMap comes to the rescue!
BestParking.com finds daily and monthly parking in Boston, New York or Philadelphia.
Walk Score rates neighborhoods for their walk-ability based on proximity to grocery stores, restaurants, movie theaters, schools, libraries, etc. Seems more useful for towns or suburbs than living here in Boston (which rates a near perfect 98).

Stuff used to be valuable, and now it’s not

A great article on how the more stuff you have, the more it begins to own you:

I have too much stuff. Most people in America do. In fact, the poorer people are, the more stuff they seem to have. Hardly anyone is so poor that they can’t afford a front yard full of old cars.

latitude/longitude lookup (geocoding-geolocator)

Simple, but effective, LON/LAT mashup on Yahoo! Maps. It would be even more useful if it presented the location in d-m-s format also…

Patagonia: Blueprint for green business

Those that know me, know I’ve had a long standing love for Patagonia gear. It’s simple, functional, and durable. Their recycling efforts, and desire to highlight environmental causes, just add to the goodness.
