Google maps, when public transportation is on, makes the trans lines nice bright colors with a "one pixel" white border. They really stand out! Everything else is dull. Google fucks up one critical thing: station icons disappear entirely zoomed out. See […] [Original post on tldr.nettime.org]

2/2 Back in 1996 when I had just sold TLG I had a lot of time, and money to indulge foolish things. So I built a multi channel analyzer, got a bunch of surplus pulse shaping gear (in NIM format), a big sodium iodide/thallium detector, and some pricey peak- […] [Original post on tldr.nettime.org]

Ooh on the wall behind, though water damaged a bit, a prized possession: a wall chart showing the chemical changes in a cross section of a uranium metal reactor fuel rod, over time and use. From Los Alamos, via Ed Grothus' Black Hole surplus.

Me on the left at some Radical Faerie event, probably 1990 or so. At the Wolf Creek Oregon land, the old barn behind us. We shat in latrines, dropped lime (calcium compound) on the turds, washed our hands in bleach dip. You could easily tell who did not […] [Original post on tldr.nettime.org]
