"So what's next for me? I've got a couple of small projects in the works, but mostly I'm going to take a little break, travel a bit, and catch up on some serious miles on my bike.

"All of the streets in the lower 48 United States: an image of 26 million individual road segments. No other features (such as outlines or geographic features) have been added to this image, however they emerge as roads avoid mountains, and sparse areas convey low population."]]> http://benfry.com/allstreets/map2.html http://benfry.com/allstreets/map2.html Wed, 30 Apr 2008 08:40:34 -0700 An interview with Guy Kawasaki.

"Though it feels like a modern appendix to our ancient alphabet, the ampersand is considerably older than many of the letters that we use today.... As both its function and form suggest, the ampersand is a written contraction of 'et,' the Latin word for 'and.'"

"With mobile devices, the speed of web pages is even more important given bandwidth, processor and memory constraints.... To our knowledge, this it the only public test that attempts to determine the number of concurrent http connections by observing the behavior from the server instead of the client.

I was hoping to do this live in my AEA presentation but ran out of time. Feel free to cast a vote or view the results thus far. (Note: Don't take this too literally, as the "Sketches" option is checked by default and therefore could very well be skewing the results. Fixed now, but previous results still may be skewed.)]]> http://cameronmoll.wufoo.com/forms/an-event-apart-live-survey/ http://cameronmoll.wufoo.com/forms/an-event-apart-live-survey/ Fri, 25 Apr 2008 10:11:57 -0700
