On May 15th, the artist behind the project Walk with Me will set from her home in Echo Park on foot with the goal of walking all of LA before she returns. Along the way, she plans to document her explorations with a vblog.

This made me think of my time with Sara and Brian at their new house in Echo Park last summer. Perhaps they'll be able to see Lisa off when she begins her journey.

Andrew invited me to join Friendster and once I signed up, I wasted part of the afternoon figuring out how it worked and browsing through the gallery. It definitely weaves a sticky network; once I started exploring, I found it hard to stop.

Tonight I've stayed up too late experimenting with worldKit, a mapping application that has mind-blowing possiblities for connecting place and the web. I've set up a short demo here.
