Looks like he got most of his list done. Good on him for that, and good on him for being organized and proactive. It seems he still needs to brainstorm a little for a #4. Maybe #4 should be deciding to cross out items or check them off when finished. He’s wavered on that one a little. Either way, this unemployed guy has gotten more finished off his list than I have. I must get back to work now.

Aram Bartholl, as part of an art project, has embedded multiple USB drives in walls and curbs throughout New York. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m not going to plug my computer into some random public USB.

The idea is to create an anonymous, offline file-sharing network in public space. The drives are completely public and anyone can plug in to drop and download files.

Mikal Hart wanted to give his friend a wedding present like no other – so he engineered a box that can only be opened at a particular location. Here’s the story of the Reverse Geocache Puzzle Box:

Hmm. What does “Distance 391km” mean? “Access Denied” suggests that getting inside the box is indeed the objective of all this button pushing. Just for fun, let’s try again.

Uh oh. We seem to be consuming our limited supply of “attempts”. The “No signal” problem seems to be solved, but the message “Distance 391km” remains puzzling. Does the box know its own location? Is there something 391 kilometers away? London? The Hague? A circle of that radius drawn around Paris intersects quite a few interesting places in France, England, Holland, Switzerland, and Germany.
