Digg news problem…

Out of the first 15 items on the Digg frontpage, by my reckoning, 6 of them are NOT news.  There REALLY needs to be a choice besides "OK, this is lame" to rank items that are not news…like perhaps "This is not newsworthy".  Until then, lame it is.

How to tell when someone is lying…

An interesting link via digg. Cliffs:

How this information is used to detect lies: Example: Let’s say your child ask’s you for a cookie, and you ask them "well, what did your mother say?" As they reply "Mom said… yes." they look to the left. This would indicate a made up answer as their eyes are showing a "constructed image or sound. Looking to the right would indicated a "remembered" voice or image, and thus would be telling the truth.

And of course, it’s not necessarily an established science.

A cool feature on a gMaps powered project…

The absolute best feature here is the "Export to Google Earth" feature.
Note that you can also export NWS satellite images by state. To make this map, I searched for Hollywood, FL, and then exported the view to gEarth. I then returned to MyJavaServer Weathermaps and exported the NWS images for Florida. The result is the image you see below.
