OpenStreetMap is in the upper left. Google, Bing, and MapQuest are all represented by comparison.

Here’s the link to the above map so you can compare for yourself! Who knows, by the time you check it out, Google may have caught up! :)

By the way, I’m the one who first modified the McCaslin DDI interchange on OSM. It has subsequently been refined by others.

Fascinating; I did not know this: Billions of years ago, the moon rotated around its axis faster than it does today. But early in the moon’s history, the drag of Earth’s gravity caused the moon’s rotation to slow to what appears to be a halt from an Earth perspective. One hemisphere of the moon always faces the Earth, and the other always faces away, with Earth’s gravity acting as a tether. In other words, the moon revolves once around the Earth in the same time it takes to rotate on its own axis—a phenomenon known as tidal locking.

Okay, folks, here’s what it boils down to (pun intended): the next few decades will see more intense and frequent droughts, flooding, crop failures, food insecurity, mass migrations (Europe’s current refugee “crisis” is mild by comparison), severe weather, and conflicts over ever-dwindling natural resources as our home planet’s climate change forcibly changes our behaviors. Humans generally suck at nonviolent conflict resolution, so there will probably be much violence. The world will be divided between the nations as “haves” and “have-nots” even more so than today as our humanitarian relief effort resources are reallocated to deal with domestic crises.

I can’t wait! I watched it twice.

So we started watching the film adaptation of Into the Woods. Before we could finish, we read this article, both poignant and amusing.

As much as I love Meryl, I’m never going to buy her records, and I haven’t been this uncomfortable watching her in a film since, what do you know, Mama Mia! If we’re living in any sort of movie musical cinema revival, it’s time to start asking ourselves what we sacrificed to get there.

This is how you (should) manage incredibly high performers who do good work that you don’t understand:

The only way to manage them is get out of their way. Startups love them, big companies hate them for this reason. Startups want miracles, big companies say they do. But big companies really have one desire: to make your supervisor look competent and necessary.

Here’s another take on how to import your Google contacts into Asterisk to use them for Caller ID. Very cool.

The Project I wanted to have my Google Contacts be used to identify Caller ID for numbers coming into my Asterisk PBX. All the existing scripts I found were outdated and broken or required many hoo…
