Took me a few minutes to figure out where this is because I don't think it's actually part of Toms River like the article says. I think it's here: https://boydsmaps.com/#19.00/40.000262/-74.081916/njgin2020/0.00/0.00 https://boydsmaps.com/#17.00/40.000262/-74.081916/pines2023/0.00/0.00...

Have just added a local version of OpenTopoMap to match the Northeast LIDAR coverage area https://boydsmaps.com/#12.00/45.904324/-68.921418/usopentopo/0.00/0.00 These are the exact same map tiles available from the OpenTopoMap website, but they load much faster. Their servers are very slow...

Tech companies are really getting carried away with new AI-enabled features. This new "recall" feature is really crazy, it basically keeps a record of everything you do and stores it in an unencryped database on your PC. I guess it would be a bonanza for hackers and forensic experts looking for...

Coming up at 6:00 PM on the Discovery Channel. Saw this awhile ago and it's a classic! :D IIRC, towards the end they talked with someone who had a pretty interesting theory about what the original Jersey Devil might have been.

Was out a couple hours ago and saw three state police cars along the road near the Weymouth school, with the officers just sitting like they were waiting for someone to appear (driving down the road? or out of the woods?), no lights, sirens or anything. Also noticed a helicopter overhead which...

Have just finished updating the aerials from the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) to match the coverage area of the Northeast US LIDAR map. And, just to keep you confused, I've changed the name of this map to reflect that it's a companion to the LIDAR - they are now called "Northeast...

Apparently, they are recreating the famous Dylan Newport Folk Festival concert in Cape May... and you can be in it! :cool: New York casting agency Grant Wilfley Casting has posted a casting call looking for "Cape May locals" to work as extras in a feature film shooting in Cape May from May...

"This year will start off much earlier than most years in the East," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alan Reppert said. "We could look at things to be a full month ahead of normal with tree pollen and still ahead with when grass pollen starts." AccuWeather experts warn that it could be a bad...

A major expansion of the mid-atlantic LIDAR map is currently underway. This is a huge project that I've been working on for months. Right now, the bottleneck is the amount of rendering time required, my computer is processing data 24/7 and it's going to take two or three more weeks before I'm...

Surprising that it's possible for all of these to be down at the same time... Meta’s social media platforms Instagram, Facebook and Threads are down for many users across the globe Tuesday morning. Facebook and Threads seem to be particularly impacted. Neither app was loading as of 10 a.m. ET...

Finishing this up right now. Need to tweak the code a bit, do some more testing, but will probaby be putting the new version online later today. This could cause cache issues, so "heads up". Clearing your browser cache should fix these issues, here's an article with instructions for doing this...

Thought I'd start a new thread for controlled burning this season since there doesn't seem to already be one... Around 7:30 this morning here in Peaslee. Must have lit it yesterday because there was nobody around. They have been burning that whole area between Main and Taylor Avenues for almost...

Is it affecting you? Not much info about this yet, on the news they said Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T users were all reporting outages, with the majority from AT&T. A little later, T-Mobile and Verizon said they were not aware of any problems. AT&T says they're working on it. I have AT&T and no...

Just noticed this on the 1949 topo yesterday (funny how I can still find new things on this old map). https://boydsmaps.com/#14.00/39.685469/-74.411793/pines1949/0.00/0.00 That name doesn't appear on any other map I've seen. First thought was just a mis-spelling of "Shamong", but this is in...

"The MOAB contains 26 billion records over 3,800 folders, with each folder corresponding to a separate data breach" "Researchers believe that the owner of the MOAB has a vested interest in storing large amounts of data and, therefore, could be a malicious actor, data broker, or some service...

"Reusable bags are manufactured with 15 to 20 times the amount of plastic used in the now prohibited single-use plastic bag, notes the Freedonia report. The reusable bags that New Jersey residents now pay for at checkout or when their groceries are delivered, according to researchers, need to be...

"Overall, Foxon found that, with forested areas and the human population taken into account, there's about one bigfoot sighting for every 5,000 black bears. Each additional 1,000 bears raises the probability of a sighting by about 4 percent. Hence, the conclusion that 'if bigfoot is there, it...

"Although it's still too early to make a specific forecast, computer models are hinting at the potential for yet another storm next week, one that might finally deliver snow to the snow-starved big cities of the mid-Atlantic, such as Washington and Philadelphia. The weather service said Tuesday...

An article about Bob's favorite animal... :D "For the first time in four centuries, it’s good to be a beaver. Long persecuted for their pelts and reviled as pests, the dam-building rodents are today hailed by scientists as ecological saviors. Their ponds and wetlands store water in the face of...
