I think this picture is old news, but it’s new to me. I had a good chuckle.

Ghost Pods of San Zhi
Wednesday, October 18th, 2006
Photo credit: Cypher
I can’t remember where I originally saw this story, but the image above is from an abandoned ‘Pod City’ in San Zhi, Taiwan.
Apparently, this podular housing was meant as a luxury vacation spot. But, after numerous fatal accidents during construction, the project was abandoned. Locals say the area is now haunted by those who died in vain and because they are not remembered, they linger there unable to pass on.
Unfortunately, the project may never be restarted, or even torn down because destroying the homes of spirits and lost souls is a HUGE no-no in Asian culture. So, it may just sit there rusting away for a long, long time.
I think these look really cool, but honestly, I half expect to see the Dharma Initiative logo stenciled on the side.
There’s more info and pictures here. Higher resolution images here. And, you can view the site in Google Earth with this file.

I went down to Redwood City today to drop some materials off at a client’s office. Right across the street is Oracle. I just love their crosswalk sign at the entrance to their parking lot.
Whacking Day Google Logo

No, google didn’t make this logo… at least not as far as I know. I don’t know where it came from, but being a big Simpsons fan, I thought it was pretty funny.
Flickr Find: Macintosh factory circa 1984
Tuesday, March 21st, 2006
Check out this great photo, of a Macintosh factory, from 1984. The photo was posted to Flickr by Wackymac. Wackymac also has some other really great historic Apple photos… if you’re into this sort of thing.
“This is a photo of the original Macintosh factory in Fremont, California. It was the first of its kind for the computer industry, featuring advanced automated technology with a Just-In-Time manufacturing system. It was Steve Jobs’ decision to make this kind of factory for the first Macs. This factory was able to produce a 128k Macintosh every 27 seconds.”
