This is the website in question: Scrawl. Scrawl was created and is maintained using the Streetprint Engine. Streetprint, of course, was the software to which I made a minor contribution last summer.
The upshot, if you're curious, is that there appears to be some interest in upgrading to the latest version of Streetprint (ie. the one I worked on) from Chris Govias, who runs the Scrawl site. So it seems that my work won't die a quiet and obscure death.
w00t!
At long last, we get both sides. w00t! That'll learn those scientists with their "evidence" and their "rational thought."

Keri-bean? And the one bad guy is Lord Beckett? The public demands full disclosure, sir. What stake have you in this marketing enterprise?

11pm is just too late for me, unfortunately. I can't stay up watching a movie until 2am... not right now. I need to be prepped for driving come monday, and, well... that requires a rather sedate weekend...
oh hey, Beck, (becaue I'm lazy and don't feel like making another post) what colour baby blanket should I knit for Keri-Matt Version 2.0? and I don't mean either pink or blue... what colour, of all colours... ?

Tonight: Pirates of the Caribbean (Carribean... Caribean... Keri-bean?) 3
South Edmonton Common, 11pm
I have already bought tickets for people who confirmed with me, AD, Andy, Leo, Keri, and myself. Everyone else is free to come as they please, we'd like to see you there. Honest. Except you... no not you, the other one, yes you.

reCAPTCHA. Now this is a cool idea. Rather than wasting all the energy people use deciphering CAPTCHAs (those images of distorted letters that websites use to ensure you're human), a group at Carnegie Mellon is trying to put that deciphering power to good use.
Essentially, the images they're displaying are portions of physical books that are in the process of being digitized. These are segments that are difficult for computers to decipher, but easy for humans to decipher. So the website in question gets the same quality test, while the reCAPTCHA project is helped along in its quest to digitize collections.
That's ingenious.

Apparently something I missed on the front page of the Journal on Monday, Graffiti ruffles feathers:
Sara Olsen fell in love with a little black bird at the tender age of 20.
It was in 2005 that she first spotted the bird, stencilled in spraypaint on a grey utility box near the Garneau Theatre. Next to it was a speech bubble containing one word: listen.
...
Scrawl, a website that documents street artwork, calls the artist Listen. According to Scrawl, Listen's original graffiti was done with stencils but has evolved to include markers, stickers, paste-ups and traditional aerosol work.

This is good. Front page of the Journal: Taking on the Tyrrell:
Canada's first creationist museum will open June 5 in Big Valley as "a scientific and biblically based alternative to the evolutionary view of Earth history" put forward by the Royal Tyrrell Museum 60 kilometres to the south, said Harry Nibourg, founder of the Big Valley Creation Science Museum.
