GPS for OpenStreetMap
Submitted by amillar on Tue, 2008-03-11 15:53.I bought a cheap GPS on EBay. I got a Palm Vx with a Magellan GPS Companion attachment for ten dollars. By PDA standards the Palm Vx is completely obsolete, but it works fine as a GPS data logger.
OpenStreetMaps
Submitted by amillar on Tue, 2008-03-11 15:40.I've recently come across two interesting projects and web sites: openaerialmap.org and openstreetmap.org. These two projects are efforts to collect and share freely-available map information.
Canadian lynx
Submitted by amillar on Fri, 2008-01-25 15:43.Anne and I saw a Canadian lynx outside a local veterinarian's office. He was waiting in the car with his owners for the vet, which handles all sorts of animals besides just cats and dogs. The owners of the lynx have an exotic animal refuge.
This cat's name is Tucker, and he was quite friendly. He let us pet him and stroke his very soft fur. He has a pink nose just like a house cat, and his paws were HUGE.
The owners take him everywhere, and I would too if I had one. What a fabulous, beautiful animal.
