Fun with Anagrams
I’ve recently seen alot of subway maps of major cities converted to anagrams. In commemoration of my recent trip to Dallas, I found one! I don’t know all the stop names, so it’s fun to figure them out. I’m sure Lisa Simpson would love these…
Thanks, Silon and codeman38 on livejournal.com for your work on creating this!

Search Engine for Coders

Pardon the mess…
I’ve just upgraded to WordPress 2.0 and haven’t got all my plugins working again… so if you run into a brick wall while browsing my site (all two of you), please check back later. Or leave me a nasty message; whatever.
I’m more familiar with ASP, and am new to PHP, so it’s a learning process. That’s what’s good and bad about open source… it’s free and community based, but it also takes a bit of tinkering. It’s like a bunch of volunteers designing and building a car; if you wanna get one, it’s free, but you better be willing to get under the hood!
Homemade LED Art
I read about this easy way to make LED’s that can be thrown on to any surface, like a building, to create public art. Apparently they’re called “throwies”, and here’s a pic of the art in action:
I think we need to do this here in Kansas City! Thanks to Q-Branch on instructables.com for sharing a great howto on making these easy
Now, who’s gonna organize it?
