Laura — Wed, 26 Jul 2006 14:00:00 GMT

Self-proclaimed ‘Unsolicited Pundit’ Glenn Fleishmann came by to share his thoughts on being a one-man journalistic force.

Laura — Mon, 03 Jul 2006 14:00:00 GMT

Sometimes Rand McNally just doesn't get the job done. If you've ever tried to read the street number on a building from a moving car in Seattle traffic, you know what we mean. Well a couple of UW grad students are building something that could make finding your way in a big city easier. Urban Archives is trying to record historical information about a city--think of it as real-time archeology. While it's primarily there for art history types, the mapping mashup possibilities are endless.
