very un-san francisco-like sunset...but wow :)
Grab your helmet, check the air in your tires, and hop on your bike because in many U.S. cities, May 12 - 16 is Bike to Work Week! Six Apart has a lot of biking enthusiasts, so we're very excited to support this event by encouraging all of our employees to bike to work this week. San Francisco's Bike to Work Day is tomorrow, Thursday, May 15th, and New York's is Friday, May 16th.
Six Apart is helping out its employees by providing maps (shaded according to steepness - a must in SF!) to help everyone plan out his/her route, as well as finding first-time riders buddies to commute with. We're also supporting ALL SF riders who pass the front of our office by handing out coffee, juice and snacks from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. tomorrow morning. If you're in our neighborhood, look for the sign that says "Six Apart Supports Bike to Work Day" and stop by to say hi and get energized!
Improve your health, financial status, productivity, and happiness by joining thousands - maybe even millions - of commuters around the country who are hopping on their bikes to get to work. Visit the Bike to Work Week website to find out more about events in your area.
Support the two-wheeled way of life with the "Passing Left" theme found in "Photo-Based" in the Design Area. Planning on cycling to work this week? Let us know in the comments!
As we mentioned last week, we had to postpone the maintenance that was due to occur on Thursday, May 8th.
We have rescheduled the maintenance for tonight, Tuesday, May 13th, starting at 6:00 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time (that's 1:00 A.M. UTC/GMT). We'll be taking Vox offline for a bit in order to move the service to a brand new home in some bright, shiny new server racks. We don't expect to be offline for more than an hour or two, but we apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
Again, thank you for your patience as we continue to invest in Vox's infrastructure!
Just saw a twitter from Brad about Microsoft's new World Wide Telescope software. This page has a scant bit of information and a download link, but is dominated by a video player which will show you "Kids reactions to WWT". The video shows several dopey looking kids against a black background looking somewhere past the camera at what I assume is a computer running WWT. This goes on for about a minute accompanied by cheesy kids world music that you hear in Disney films that involve Africa.
Really?
Am I supposed to want to download this after watching how kids react? For all I know they could be watching "Double Dare" on Nickelodeon or seeing a fire truck drive by through a window.
Personally, I don't think we should just take the kids word for it. I think before I will download this I really a second reaction. It would probably be as or even more telling to see how LOL cats react to WWT. If someone could put that together I'd really appreciate it. Unfortunately, the best I can offer now is this video of how Cellular Automata react to WWT:
Wow look at the faces on those nth-generations! I can hardly wait to download this!
whaddya think? it's got potential..
you may have to cinch it - it's kinda droopy.
