An Incredible Piece of Flash Programming.
Author: robertinseattleThis is the most amazing collaborative graphic art project. Be patient when it first starts up. After the site finishes loading, you’ll first see a strip of text and instructions to click on the bottom. Then the first scene comes up. Click and drag upward very slowly to move forward. Drag down and you’ll move back.
This is a loop so you will eventually end up back where you started. About the third time through, you’ll want to stop very frequently to take a good look.

Staying at The TraveLodge New Orleans
Author: robertinseattleWell, it sure didn’t look like the picture on the TraveLodge site! (They managed to leave out the chain-link fence with razor wire on top surrounding the entire perimeter of the place.) I got in around 9:30 pm from the airport after a long day flying in from Seattle for the CTIA Show. I knew it was going to get interesting when I walked into the lobby and there were 10 pissed-off people standing around the small lobby at this TraveLodge. Unfortunately, we all knew that there weren’t any other rooms available ANYWHERE in New Orleans; the town had been booked for months in advance for this wireless telecom convention and trade show. We were completely at their mercy and they knew it!
It took over an hour to get checked in (and only after a very colorful, sarcastic and loud comment in the lobby about the long wait to no one in particular). Once I finally got into my room, I decided to at least put my digital camera to good use documenting my stay at this fine, overpriced establishment and hope to shame the TraveLodge corporate management to look at this place closely enough to put it out of its misery. Maybe I can also draw some attention to Orbitz as well and strike a blow for road warriors everywhere. So here’s my 2-night adventure at the TraveLodge in New Orleans complete with color commentary…

Blondes could be on endangered list — Study
Author: robertinseattleEven if your heart isn’t tugged by the plight of the panda or the spotted owl, you might want to spare a thought for the latest endangered species. Blondes. German researchers say natural blondes may disappear within two centuries. Blonde hair is the result of a recessive mutation, which means you have to inherit it from both your parents. But the Germans say that so many people are fake blondes that natural blondes aren’t getting as many chances to mate. If blondes aren’t mating as often, there aren’t as many copies of the blonde gene being passed on, so blondes are in danger of going the way of the dodo. If you’d like to see the last blondes in the wild, go to Finland. The gene is most common there, which means that’s where the last natural blonde will probably be born.
