Where should we stay in Kauai?

At the end of October (right after ACM Multimedia), Krista and I will be taking a much-needed (for both of us) week of vacation.

We're headed to Kauai.

We still haven't figured out where we're staying. Thought I would solicit suggestions. These could range from areas of the island, specific places / rentals...

We're thinking that we want to stay on the North Shore, and are looking for a "cottage" or "bungalow." More rustic than polished. Doesn't need to be "on" the beach.

Let me know your thoughts! Leave a comment, or email me at bradley-at-alum.mit.edu. Thanks for any experience, advice, recommendations you have.

It’ll be del.icio.us!

Del.icio.us is having its first birthday party (after three years.) It'll be fun! Joshua and the gang will be there in force, and you can ask him what it feels like to be an MIT Technology Review Innovator! If he's too busy, then you can ask Stewart!

I'll be there too, basking in the afterglow of our Open Hack Day. If that wasn't a smooth enough segue, then you can check out Chad's favorites tagged with yhackday on del.icio.us here.

And I would be remiss, dear hackers, if I didn't implore you to come to Open Hack Day. It's gonna be "off the hook" fun, cool, interesting, surprising... the list of people that are coming is already impressive and growing by the day. If you're a bona fide geek, hacker, nerd, coder, etc. then you will be kicking yourself come Monday morn when you read about what went down at this shindig. Check it out!

Cool Flickr Geotagging Examples

Stewart recently showed me some very cool (and in some cases surprising) Flickr geotagging examples. Here's a few I loved.

Where is the neighborhood in Manhattan known as Tribeca?





Get your kicks, on Route 66





Food tour of Asia





What I love about the "tribeca" and "route 66" examples is that they show emergent knowledge in the system. Collectively, the efforts of many photographers map out a geographic element... Neat.
