I’ve been following the MAKE Magazine vidcast for a while, and while it’s usually pretty pedestrian, they do occasionally showcase some real gems. Recently they covered both throwies and blinky bugs. It’s frustrating because I actually do have a cell holder off a motherboard, but the 3V lithium cell that came with it is down… Read more
So, I finally had some time this week to get back onto Google Maps, and it’s been pretty good thus far. I started by trying to figure out how to pull images out of WebKit’s spiderweb.
