a day in the life

I was browing the internet tubes again today and found, yet again, another document from Scientology talking about to to raise children. Take a look for yourself.

My favorite thing about this video is how the Scientology employee reacts to the reporter when he finds asks him if he’s a reporter. Check it out…

What is wrong with this picture?

I’m not sure if anyone caught The Daily Show tonight on Comedy Central, but I noticed when it started and then again later on in the show that it’s being called A Daily Show. Is that because of the writer’s strike or what?

Now that Google Maps has made its way over to the iPod touch, the introduction a new feature called My Location has been introduced. Previously this feature was restricted to devices like the iPhone on a cellular network devices using cell antenna triangulation to determine location. With no cellular hardware in the iPod touch, how would My Location work? Enter SkyHook. Have you heard of SkyHook? SkyHook has gone to the streets of the US with vehicles similar to Google street view cars and instead of capturing images, captured wireless network information and precise geographic information about those networks.

To pinpoint location, WPS uses a massive reference network comprised of the known locations of over 23 million Wi-Fi access points. To develop this database, Skyhook has deployed specialized vehicles to survey every single street, highway, and alley in 2500 US cities, scanning for Wi-Fi access points and plotting their precise geographic locations.

SkyHook even has a Google Maps plug-in that will show you what areas have been scanned and are in the database. And yes, it works. Eerily well.
