How can I do this with my tech?

I’m travelling to Seattle next week. I want to put some bookmarks of places to go on a map, which I can easily pull up and view. Anyone with ideas?

App enables musician to control concert lighting and sound through crowd’s smartphones
We recently saw digital audience participation in action with the Stanley Piano, an automaton organ which takes requests from Twitter. Now musician Dan Deacon is taking over the smartphones of fans at his live performances to turn them into part of the show. READ MORE…

Dr. Seuss on IEPs (1999)

Dr. Seuss

I do not like these IEPs
I do not like them, Jeeze Louise!
We test, we check,
We plan, we meet,
But nothing every seems complete.
Would you, could you like the form?
I do not like the form I see,
Not page 1, not 2 not 3
another change,
A brand new box,
I think we all
Have lost our rocks,
Could we all meet here or there?
We cannot all fit any where.
Not in a room, Not in a hall,
there seems to be no space at all.
Could you, could you meet again?
I cannot meet again next week.
No Lunch, no prop,
Please hear me speak.
No, not at dusk. No, not at dawn.
At 4 P.M., I should be gone.
Could your hear while all speak out?
Would you write the words they spout?
I could not hear, I would not write,
This does not need to be a fight.
Sign here, date there,
Mark this, check that,
Beware the students ad-vo-cat(e)
You do not like them,
So you say
Try again! Try again!
And you may
If you will let me be,
I will try again,
You will see
Say! I almost like these IEPs
I think I’ll write 6,003
And I will practice day and night
until they say
You got it right

“The fear of infinity is a form of myopia that destroys the possibility of seeing the actual infinite, even though it in its highest form has created and sustains us, and in its secondary transfinite forms occurs all around us and even inhabits our minds” Georg Cantor (via philphys)
