I LEGO N.Y.:

So simple, but so creative. I think my favorite is “Man on subway platform, seeing a critter on the tracks”.

Saw the masstransiscope for the first time last weekend. Didn’t realize it was something they just restored. Here’s a story about it in the New York Times.

E-Mail Note: 'I Landed in the Hudson' :

Great story in today’s New York Times. One passenger said “It felt like we were landing at the airport,”. Huge kudos to that pilot.

This week’s episode of the Security Now podcast was one of my favorites… it includes an explanation of how security researchers successfully forged a root certificate authority by brute forcing md5 with Playstations, a great story about an early PC called the PDP-8, and some information on a new small(er) form factor, instant charging, and non-toxic battery technology that was recently patented. Not all security stuff, but definitely interesting. All episodes can be downloaded here.

Pulsar:

Absolutely loving Pulsar, the new XM/Sirius player for the Mac by Rogue Amoeba. I use it to listen to XM while at work, and also through my Apple TV at home (via Airfoil, another Rogue Amoeba product). Best of all I got Pulsar for free as an existing Rouge Amoeba product owner. See this page for details on that offer.
