Asif brought Keyhole to my attention which lets you look at images of a lots of places in the world looking down from different elevations.

Airport Security and Ottawa First Impressions
At the Atlanta airport, we tried to checkin on the e-ticket kiosk, but it demanded to scan our passports since we were going out of country.

Front-end and Back-end Changes
There have been a lot of changes here recently, most of them on the back-end. Most of this work was related to having a bilingual (English and Urdu) blog along with MathML equations. This required valid XHTML 1.1 and serving the site as application/xhtml+xml as described before. One strange artifact of a good CSS/XHTML design… Continue reading Front-end and Back-end Changes
