Eliza Truitt Photography: Train In Vain
If not for the municipal clusterfuck that apparently happened before I moved here, a futuristic monorail system would have opened last week, with two stops a stone’s throw from my apartment — thus making my neighborhood (which already includes the Space Needle and EMP) look even more like the town the Jetsons built. Eliza Truitt has some really great photos she took of the locations where monorail stops would have been.
I wasn’t here through the debate around it, but it strikes me as really sad this project never happened. Would have been sooo cool. We are set to get light rail in 2008, though, so that will be nice. Sadly, it won’t come too close to my apartment — although I can always take the existing 1962 World’s Fair monorail over to Westlake, which will be a light rail station.

Guilty as charged.
E-Chuckles:
> ah, seattle. one of the few places where you can walk into a bar and be totally ignored because the drunk guys aren’t hitting on girls… they’re trying to figure out ways to make out with their iPhones while praying they’ve gulped the weekend away so they can return to the comfort of their undecorated Microsoft offices…
I don’t know Elizabeth very well. But, we’ve hung out a few times, and I can confirm that she is funny and smart, and I think it’s too bad I didn’t have time to get to know her better before she packs up and moves to New York. It’s been fun, e-chuck — I’ll see you in New York, sometime. Bye for now. :)

Geocoding My Life
Shortly after I first integrated my Flickr photos into jeffcroft.com (using Flickr’s awesome API), the photo sharing site added geocoding features, letting members tag photos with latitude and longitude information. Being someone who is obsessed with metadata, taxonomy, and the like, I quickly and meticulously geocoded my photos.
I wanted to incorporate that geo data in some interesting way here at jeffcroft.com, but the fact that I was (at the time) using dead-end code for this site (I planned to re-write it all) made me hold off until I’d finished the new version.

Great Whites - a photoset by Luke Cresswell
Absolutely the best Great White photos I’ve seen on Flickr, and possibly anywhere. Wow. Just stunning. I wish Luke had provided a bit more context — I’ve love to know where these were taken. My guess is Guadalupe Island, Mexico, just based on the water clarity.
