Flickr reverse-geocoded a bunch of photos to create a bunch of GIS-like shape files
october 2008 by jimray
This is ridiculous cool - using people's photos, they've created freely available shape files that works from the neighborhood level to the continent.

Yahoo's OpenID research is pretty depressing

Nobody in the test group had even heard of it and it took a lot of coaching to get folks to log in. Sounds like a design problem in need of solving. Or several.

WSJ is reporting that Yahoo's board plans to reject Microsoft takeover bid
february 2008 by jimray
Microsoft could take the deal directly to shareholders, with a proposed replacement board, or even offer more money. This is pure theater, I love it.

Yahoo will host YUI files from their servers for you, for free
february 2007 by jimray
So, in theory, that means if you hit one site that uses YUI, the JS files should cache when you need YUI again, even on a different site. Rock?
