Shorpy.


Shorpy calls itself “the 100-year-old photo blog.” Not all the pictures are that old, but they are pretty old. And fascinating. This picture is the corner of 34th and Broadway in New York in 1914. Link -via Metafilter

yea, cool link ! I remember my grandmother showing me pics of my grandfather as a child growing up in NW Penn. I really like the depth of field in some of the pictures

It told me "spam" is not a word! Just for that I'm going to send them hundreds of unsolicited e-mails for products and services they don't want or need!

That was pretty cool, but needs work. There's nothing like an entire game with only 2 vowels (3 if you include y). I think at one point I had 4 S and 3 T, what do you do with that?

Yup, that's fun. It'll need a better lexicon before it becomes really useful.

The other thing it could do with is detecting when you've a full line of consonants and bypassing the randomness to drop a vowel in. There are probably languages out there that can make a word from xdwtpkm, but English isn't one of them.

What are the win/lose conditions? I got to a game over dialog. Why can't I just keep playing and racking up points? Is there a timer I'm not seeing?

Thanks a bunch. I've been playing since I saw the posting, about 24 hours now.

I finally figured out the multiplier thingy (I know, I'm not too swift sometimes) and gaming that definitely upped my score, although the most I ever got was 600.
