    Pine Barrens Witch, Margaret "Peggy" Clevenger

    First... welcome to the site Debbie! :) This appears to be the post in question: https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/poor-peggy-clevenger-murder-or-just-an-accident.8303/#post-99454 I agree with Jerseyman, his post seemed sympathetic to Peggy and it pushed back on the notion that she was...

    Northeast US OpenTopoMap now available

    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...

    New Windows 11 AI feature: "one of the most ridiculous security failings I’ve ever seen"

    Not really, as I said... Pretty much all of my data is stored in their cloud. But it's encrypted, so it would be very difficult for anyone to do anything with it. But I don't use the cloud as a primary storage medium. For example, Google Chromebooks have almost no storage built-in and...

    New Windows 11 AI feature: "one of the most ridiculous security failings I’ve ever seen"

    What is your definition of "the cloud"? Because I think it just describes a computing infrastructure where data is spread (and probably replicated) over a network on devices in different places. This differs from traditional storage where you can specifically say that your data is stored on...

    New Windows 11 AI feature: "one of the most ridiculous security failings I’ve ever seen"

    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...

    You can get basic property ownership and other data from my pinesXT app. Choose any map you like, this one shows parcel boundaries with public openspace shaded green, for example. https://boydsmaps.com/pines/#15/39.757458/-74.418158/lightstreets/0/0/ Here's aerial imagery with property lines...

    Tabernacle Mayor

    Wear it as a badge of honor - after all, the term "moron" was invented by our own Henry H. Goddard of the Vineland Training School! But seriously, when I read what the deputy mayor said, I thought it might have actually been a quote from Goddard. I hoped we had moved beyond his theories long ago.

    Russel's Crossing

    Sorry, not familiar with Russel's Crossing and not sure where it is, can you post a link from my map? I updated it at the end of last year and tried to include all the roads from the legacy USGS 24k topo's plus newer roads from aerial and LIDAR imagery (shown in a purple-ish color)...

    Tabernacle Mayor

    Apparently, in this case there was only one evil. :D "Natalie Stone won an uncontested election and was sworn into office in January as Tabernacle's deputy mayor." BTW, this thread title is misleading. According to the linked article, she is the deputy mayor, not the mayor.

    Fire plan would cut 2.4 million New Jersey Pinelands trees

    It actually got pretty bad around here for awhile "...in 2008, SPB crossed the Egg Harbor River for the first time and entered the pine forests of Atlantic County, and continues to move north and west. In 2010, New Jersey experienced the warmest growing season on record (average temperature...

    Missing Woman

    Yeah, weird. But these reports say the same thing, so it evidently did come from the state police. https://patch.com/new-jersey/cinnaminson/missing-burlington-co-womans-car-found-state-forest-police https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/05/23/missing-new-jersey-woman-danielle-lopez-car-state-forest/

    "The Devil in the Forest"

    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.

    Closed Again

    Vermont: 9,200 square miles, population: 674,000 New Jersey: 7,200 square miles, population: 9,262,000 Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating for closures... but clearly, Vermont ain't New Jersey! :D

    Yes, I use six digits for internal purposes. I only reduced it to four in the title bar because the long numbers don't fit on small screens.
