» Use ssh -D : the Coolest ssh trick yet to get a "dynamic" SOCKS proxy for web browsing remotely (and since I use PuTTy on my work laptop I'll use this info: Dynamic SOCKS Proxy using PuTTY.) Really all I'm looking for is a simple way to get at The Daily Show when I'm traveling remote, but having fully encrypted web browsing sessions is a big bonus with some of the stupid "gated" internet access I get stuck with (the "free internet" at DIA frames ever page with adverts, this will help avoid them.)     #

» Tourists Stranded At Machu Picchu.

Tourists visiting Machu Picchu in Peru have had a little surprise today, as torrential rainfalls in the region have caused massive flooding and landslides, stranding the travelers in the ancient Incan city.

» The Direction of Moonrise and Moonset. The other day when I went to get photos of the biggest moon of 2010 I was trying to figure out where it would come up. My goal was to get it rising over downtown Denver (I got close, but not exact). Turns out it's surprisingly difficult to figure out where on the horizon the moon will come up. Still I think my plan of hanging out at Green Mountain worked out ok:

Anna's gave me a choice of 5 different buttons and only charged me $3 to get a new one put in. According to the couple of tailor's I spoke to they are the only folks in Denver with the industrial rivet machine able to do such a thing (plus they are extremely nice people.)     #
