I’ve created a University of Michigan map using gmaptrack. This type of online software is almost exactly what I wanted to create. Looks like someone has already done it. Dang. And you know what, it pretty much rocks already. Anyone suggest any improvements?
I was amazed by this “Zero Install Zero Impact Rich Web Client Application” called M A B, the Mozilla Amazon Browser.
It uses the XML User Interface Language (XUL) to create a web based application that requires almost no start up time and looks like a normal application.
This is the future. Rich web applications that you don’t have to download to use. Hot! Where do I start…?
Is it just me, or does this application act a little too much like Google Maps, perhaps to the point of using the same open source software called ka-Map and MapServer?
“Dance Dance Immolation is an adaptation of the popular arcade video game Dance Dance Revolution, but with fire! Basically, you play DDR; when you do well, the computer shoots big propane blasts up into the air. When you do poorly, it shoots you in the face with flamethrowers. Yes, you, as in your actual corporeal body. And yes, flamethrowers, like the kind that are on fire.”

Robots are soon to come in swarms. It is ironic that the name of the company is iRobot, almost the same name as a movie not long ago depicting thousands of robots rebeling against humans.
Call a number, give a one minute speach over the phone, and get it broadcasted over a loud speaker. That’s what One Free Minute is all about. Hmm… what shall I say. BTW, its completely annonymous.
I don’t want to encourage mass poker playing, especially if you can’t afford it, but check this out:
Do you think I should buy a Roomba? We currently have no vacuum, and I think it would be really cool if it worked.
We played around with these things in my first semester Engineering 100 class at the University of Michigan. We basically had to reverse engineer it… draw up detailed diagrams, explained its logic, etc. It was actually pretty nifty. The funny thing about that class is that the projects we were doing actually were being implemented. For example, a GPS Tracking System for the UofM Busses, a Social Networking Website, Wireless Internet Connections, etc.

Here’s an interesting web page which displays post cards sent in by annymous secret spillers.
