Handy…script which runs once a day to get the links for my link blog. It now crawls each link and sends an email to a Gmail account with the From field being the page URI, the Subject being the tags, and the body being a copy of the page. In addition to searching the page text, I can filter by tags by using an advanced search (e.g., subject:python). Now I love del.icio.us and Gmail more than before. Link. Also, check out our list.
The site plans to get permission and/or make custom versions, but for now no more NYC maps for the iPod – the New York MTA has ordered me to remove the official maps from the site. I am hoping to acquire a license from their marketing department to offer the maps here. In the meantime, I hope you can all wait. Thanks. If worse comes to worse, I’ll make up a custom set of maps and offer them here. . Link.

Tell what time it is, with the stars…Print this page from browser and cut out the circles below. If you don’t have a printer, try drawing your own star clock by copying the images below. Cut the notch on the smaller (blue) circle. Place the small circle on top of the large circle. Push a large paper faster to make a center hole through both circles and spread open the fastener on the back slde of the Star Clock or poke a hole through the circles with a pencil then thread a string or thin rubber band through the hole and knot it on both sides.

Another from Shadowstitch- he picked up a wooden velociraptor skeleton model from the thrift store, sadly someone took all the parts out. But, that didn’t stop him from making, he used the pillaged toy as a template to trace the bone patterns, then made a huge version. This is a great idea…
