Build Your Own Cityscape
Hoagy writes "Many friends think I've moved when I show them this picture. I've constructed a lit model of midtown Manhattan to fill an otherwise unspectactular view out of our kitchen window. The website details the construction process and how to design and build your own. The city lights also automatically turn on/off via an X10 cronjob on my home Linux server." Nice hack job.
I just read some sad news on the BBC -- Ramones founder Dee Dee Ramone was found dead in his Hollywood apartment today. Even if you don't enjoy his music, there's no denying his contributions to the development of punk as a musical style. Truly a British icon.
Not like it's going to do anything, but it's the thought that counts ;-)

Katie Sierra, 15, plans to travel and is considering moving out of state. She will not be in Charleston when her case is scheduled to go to trial this summer in Kanawha County Circuit Court, Erik Engle, the school board's lawyer, said Wednesday.
Sierra's lawyer, Roger Forman, said he could not comment on her whereabouts.
Engle said board members are glad that Forman filed a petition to dismiss the lawsuit. However, Engle said board members are disappointed they will not be able to present their side to a jury.
Sierra was suspended in October for trying to start the anarchy club and for wearing T-shirts with messages opposing U.S. military action in Afghanistan .
Sierra's mother, Amy Sierra, withdrew her daughter from school last fall after the girl reported being shoved and elbowed in the back. Sierra has been studying at home through a computer-learning program paid for by the county school system.
The director of the state chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union , which championed Sierra's cause, praised Sierra's efforts.
"We continue to believe that the school violated Katie's First Amendment rights," ACLU Executive Director Andrew Schneider said Wednesday. "But we understand and respect the Sierra family's wishes in this very personal decision."
Forman's petition asks Kanawha County Circuit Judge James Stucky to dismiss the lawsuit without prejudice, which would allow the case to be reopened. The school board has asked that the case be dismissed with prejudice, which would bar further action.
Stucky is set to hear arguments on the petition June 21.
"This issue is one that can and will recur. This isn't a problem that is by any means resolved," Forman said. "We are talking about some very fundamental constitutional issues of free speech here."
Engle said the board does not want the case revived.
"After what they've gone through to bring this case along, it doesn't seem fair that it would be dismissed just so they could just bring it back when it was more convenient," Engle said. "This needs to be put to rest."
This means the CBS sound department must be very good. What with those shatters, they sure had me fooled!

Woh! That G.I. Joe episode creeped me out too. I think it was too much for 8-10 year old kids to deal with. I mean, the fucking people melted! Trippy. Poor Shipwreck. "Lady J!!! Scarlet!!! NO!!!!!!!!!"

No, you won't. You'll build your own Iron Curtain around the USA, and hide from the evil terrorists outside. Look at yourselves now - your government has banned you from travelling to, or trading with Cuba. How can you say you're free?
Oooh please... Get off your high horse. Everyone has limits to their freedoms. Freedom without limits is anarchy and I hope you're not advocating that. Almost all countries use sanctions and travel restrictions as tools to influence other country's policies. Almost every country in the world has severe trade and travel restrictions with Iraq during the past 10 years so don't get all preachy about Cuba.
Your idiotic governments keep getting you tangled up in wars that you should stay out of. Oh, there isn't a war on just now? Let's start one! It's funny how all your wars seem to have something to do with wealthy, oil-producing countries.
Yeah!! There's so much oil in Afghanistan its not even funny! =P The Gulf War? That was the World vs. Iraq. Your rants while bringing up the popular subject of American bashing are short on facts and long on hollow rhetoric.
G. Washington on Government "it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
Not necessarily, real diplomacy along with the threat of possible force is what is needed - not the 'do as we say or else' attitude. One mans terrorist is anothers freedom fighter
Nice that we're prepared to use fighters to shoot planes down, but we're afraid to let the pilot carry a freakin revolver.
"Yeah!! There's so much oil in Afghanistan its not even funny!"
Uh, no, but there is TONS in Turkmenistan and we have been wanting a pipeline through Afghanistan for a long time now. Why do think we were so in favor of supporting a top advisor to the El Segundo, California-based UNOCAL Corporation as the interim prime minister? Haven't you been paying attention? Or do you just use what ABC McNews tells (or doesn't tell you) to form your perception of reality?
Christ, wake the fuck up. No wonder the rest of the world thinks we are ignorant jingos.
It's 10 PM. Do you know if you're un-American?
I personally liked how W. handled the whole Afghan issue... "if they want to call us Imperialist dogs, then thats what we'll be!"
Hello Afghanistan, we're going to mold you into a country whose existence makes our country's existence safer.
whoot!
