: : Nifty Map - low tech gadget : :
Remember those little plastic things - or eyes on fake glasses that have little plastic ridges on them , and as you tilt them, they show a different image? Well, the technology has grown up - with up to 200 fine lens ridges per inch - allowing three images to be precisely superimposed showing different layered images or data in the same space. This example is a map of Manhattan that magically shows a street map, neighborhood areas, and attractions, flipping views as you tilt it a few degrees.

Not Greek to Me
If you're tired of lorem ipsum and that quick brown fox, you might be interested in the ungreek.toolbot engine, an online tool that gives you the option of several different source texts from which to generate sample (gibberish) text, including the Rubaiyat, Jane Eyre, the Tao Te Ching, and the Critique of Pure Reason (in German). It's fun to play with, and useful, too.
