Some ideas for new tiles if there are any plans to add them:
-"Paint buckets". The way these are concepted is subject to change, but I would depict them as colored footprints on the ground. They would function like ROUGH, but if the player walks over them, the _player_ would become red, green, blue, or uncolored for the purposes of colored panels (the paintbucket square itself should turn to either rough or floor, depending on which you think makes more sense; and how to represent player color is up for consideration but outline and shoe coloring are two main possibilities).
-Diagonal lasers. Graphically and functionally, this should be obvious, apart from a specific mechanical interaction. In a 2x2 grid numbered as follows:
1 2
3 4
with a DLASER on 4, and any sort of obstructions on 2 and 3, should the laser be able to "see" 1? I would say yes just for simplicity.
-If there's no pressing spacial limits on the tileset, a set of 36 tiles as UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT but for the alphanumeric characters would make it easier for levels to have self-contained instructions. |

very observant. Point Breeze is close to my house and not on the way to anything (because of various parks and geography) so it is the only neighborhood I haven't yet made a serious coverage effort in. Therefore it has no cleanup-todo list. It will probably be the last one I finish, aside from my home 'hood of Shadyside, which I am deliberately saving. |
| |
The map is confusing: Point Breeze doesn't seem to have any pink segments in it, yet it's not darkened. This might just be because of the scale.

Actually I was the first post.
If I'm in town I'll go to the E6 show, but I might be going to CT this weekend. Back in the day Music Tapes was one of my favorites. I'm happy to say that I checked all those bands off my list in college, especially since Jeff Mangum has become reclusive. But they are sure a good show. |

Man, the extent to which I compulsively check the RSS reader widget thing on my google homepage has turned me into that creepy guy who always posts first on other people's blogs. But! I have things to say, so the creepiness continues
thing 1) that video and song are really excellent, cool stuff, thanks for posting it
thing 2) I am reminded by your post of music-things to ask if you are going to this:
http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/145168-elephant-6-crew-to-embark-on-holiday-surprise-tour
and if not wtf? I am super jealous, there is no show here. There are pictures of the new york show somewhere, apparently Jeff Mangum showed and played with OTC and elf power |

Yep, I love this. Here is reason to celebrate the web in all its glory. I have a fantastic space name, and... I've had a blast reading all the comments. |

Yeah, the city does define the borders. You can see some maps here:
http://www.city.pittsburgh.pa.us/cp/maps/shadyside.html |
| |
A question: Where did you get the data on what the exact boundaries for the various neighborhoods are? I suppose since you were able to make the map these must be set in stone somewhere, but I never really considered it - are they official municipal entities? |

A fine fine film for many occasions. |

Tom 7, I think about 18-20% of the levels are in minor leagues, and it is a very great game! |

[ Bathroom? Mushroom! ]
I am so happy that I found this site.
Last week we discovered that our water heater was leaking from the garage and somehow the water damage was coming up from the floor of my daughters bedroom next to the garage and the hallway. We are still waiting for the landlord to get back with us. Tonight I almost puked when I walked down the hallway and noticed that a mushroom had grown up in the corner of the hallway next to my daughter bedroom where it is wet. That mushroom just popped up within hours, it was not there earlier in the day. I told my husband that the Landlord better get their butts out here and fast and get this fixed. My house smells like death from the mildew smell and I have had to move my kids from their rooms and they are sleeping in the living room because I am terrified of the amount of mold that has probably grown since last week under their carpet. I'm so disgusted, my skin is crawling. |

Update in 2008: $2400 for a coffee machine no longer seems outrageous to me. |

those with SAT 1400-1500, enjoy community college or any college with a +90% acceptance rate. Those with SATS below 1400... Even those schools with 100% acceptance rates will think twice about taking you. But rest assured, I will think of you when I am chilling with my classmates at Princeton. |

You're welcome! That's a nice thing to hear...
You will certainly improve with time, though a surprisingly large part of this will be merely realizing that when your brain and legs and guts tell you that you must stop, you're only like half way there. |

By the way, thanks for your inspiration to run! I'm hovering around a 10 minute a mile pace right now, but I really enjoy it, and will hopefully improve over time. The only bummer is that every other day I don't run, and it's like, well, what did I get up for then?
You are a very inspirational person, since come to think of it, one of your projects also inspired me to make music when I had mostly given that up. |

Actually, given that I made and used the template for my PhD, I think it isn't too mild for Pac Tom, which I call my PhD in running. |
