my yahoo mail tracks trending stories and lists the top ten. the other day it said "jennifer anniston", the prevailing news story linked to yahoo news noted that her beloved dog had died. oooh, topical!
today the "trending now" banner across the top of my email page read "may 21 judgment day". i just hope its true what they say, that all good dogs go to heaven. wait, no one says that? shit. now what am i supposed to do with this beagle costume?
Leafsnap: An Electronic Field Guide
Leafsnap is the first in a series of electronic field guides being developed by researchers from Columbia University, the University of Maryland, and the Smithsonian Institution. This free mobile app uses visual recognition software to help identify tree species from photographs of their leaves.
Leafsnap contains beautiful high-resolution images of leaves, flowers, fruit, petiole, seeds, and bark. Leafsnap currently includes the trees of New York City and Washington, D.C., and will soon grow to include the trees of the entire continental United States.
Available initially for the iPhone.

Black on the bottom and white on top, it's the backward blackbird.
There were five in one tree at Calvert Vaux Park, and singing.
The bird is named for it's song, a bubbling ramble of crazy high-pitched, self-harmonizing notes; sounds like electronic music.
Recordings cannot do it justice...
Happy Spring.

Software engineer Kyle Conroy has compiled a list of how much money you would have today if, for example, instead of spending $5700 on a Apple PowerBook G3 250 when it was released on November 10, 1997 you'd spent that same amount on AAPL stock. The answer? Instead owning of a laptop that's probably worth all of twenty bucks today, you'd own $330,563 of AAPL stock.
