Planarity puzzle
Originally uploaded by travelinlibrarian.

Want to try your skills at a data visualization puzzle? Planarity has you rearranging the vertices with the goal of making sure none of the connecting lines intersect. I’m showing you level three. Trust me, it gets harder from there. (My solution to this level is shown in my flickr account.) This is an especially fun game if you have a TabletPC.

Performancing for Firefox

By Michael

I think I’ve finally found my dream blogging Firefox extension.

“Performancing for Firefox is a full featured blog editor that sits right within Firefox. Just hit F8 or click the little pencil icon at the bottom right to bring up the blog editor and easily post to your Wordpress, MovableType or Blogger blogs.

“Performancing for Firefox is for Firefox 1.5 and above only. We’ve made use of a number of cool new features within Firefox 1.5, so you’ll need that version of Firefox to try it.”

I sent the story in myself so I know this guy is serious. (Despite the colorfullness of his e-mail.)

Congratulations! I have chosen your plate, BCR.ORG, to include in the second edition of “What Does That Mean?” The final deadline for submissions is February 28, 2006. The book will be ready for shipment in June or July.

If you have family or friends that would like to be included in the book, have them go to www.vanity-plates.com to fill out the form. They must respond by February 28th, 2006.

I can’t guarantee that they will be in the book, but I am very interested in getting as many good stories as I can. Your plate, BCR.ORG, WILL be in the book.

I will keep you posted as things progress. The new book will be bigger and better than the original. We expect to be able to include some color pictures and we will have more license plates than the first edition. I will contact you if we need a picture of your plate.

You can read the original book online at www.vanity-plates.com and you can also see over 1,000 entries that have been submitted so far for the new book there. The first edition is available for purchase at Amazon.com

Thank you for your participation in this exciting project.

Sincerely,
Denny Cowhey
