http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/12/washington/12assets.html?_r=1&oref=slogin Thank God we live in such a safe state, with only 904 potential terrorist targets! Better think twice before moving out of state... you could end up somewhere really dangerous, like Indiana with 8,591 targets, or...

The rain finally let up around 4:00 this afternoon so I headed out through the woods to Stephen's Creek. Wow, the water level was about a foot higher than it had been 24 hours ago - we really had a lot of rain around here! Here's a panorama, made from 10 separate images (greatly reduced in...

I'm getting some odd behavior when I start from the NJPB forum home page.... Looking at the orange icons (forums with new posts), if I click on the "last post" link on the right, it takes me to a different thread entirely. For example, NJPB Rules & FAQ shows "NJPB User Photo Galleries" as the...

Finally got around to uploading a few files, all taken around sunset during the past week. Actually these are still frames from high definition video reduced from 1920x1080 down to 960x540. Taking sunset pictures is one of my favorite passtimes. Sunrises are cool also, but I can never get...

Today I took a walk on a section of the Batona trail I hadn't been on before. Coming out of the Lebanon state forest it crosses Rt 72 and goes down Sooy Place Rd a bit, then down some little sand roads. Notice the grid of roads by the "x" on this Topozone map...

Hey - I was just watching this for a minute tonight (7:20 PM on Dec 20). They were showing some early smart bomb tests from 1968. It looked a lot like they were in the pine barrens, probably Warren Grove....

Was wandering around this area today and wondering what the history of this large excavated area off Magnolia Road is: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.906115,-74.613025&spn=0.007834,0.012496&t=h&hl=en Sort of an odd place. Is it an old gravel pit?

http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=15631647&BRD=2244&PAG=461&dept_id=453084&rfi=6 I just don't know what to think of this one. Certainly better than trapping and killing wild cats, but I have to wonder just how big a problem feral cats are around here? Their estimates range from 150 to...

While surfing around I stumbled on this page of maps related to the Batona Trail.... http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/sports/outdoors/12313966.htm

The Google map shows a mysterious "Lake Broyhill" on the map here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.712204846746694,-74.59579467773438&spn=0.04215126192600849,0.07085752487182617&hl=en It's also marked on the hybrid image, but doesn't seem to be there (anymore). The photo and topo map on...

This has nothing to do with the pines, but definitely fits the topic of "electronics insanity" :P Today Apple Computer announced they were beginning the transition to Intel CPU chips with the first machines available a year from now and a complete transition within two years. According to...

I was driving on Rt 70 today about 12:40 PM, and just east of the Red Lion circle, near New Road, there was a tow truck and a state police car preparing to pull a second police car out of the woods where it had run off the highway. I wonder what that was all about? No sign of any other trouble...

Has anyone else looked at google's new map service? http://maps.google.com/ Wow, this just blows me away. How do they update and scroll so fast? This is more responsive than most map software you load directly on your computer (assuming a fast internet connection of course). I don't see...

Was just out on Batso-Washington road today. Somebody has littered almost the entire length of that road with a bunch of newspaper inserts. I didn't stop to look closely, but they look like some sort of advertising supplements from the paper. I guess they might have been loose in the back of a...

A friend and I took a road trip down to Assateague a couple days ago which is right on the border between Maryland and Virginia. This was the first time I'd been anywhere around there and it really impressed me. It's a barrier island somewhat similar to Island Beach State Park in NJ, but with a...

In case you didn't notice, Spring officially began this morning somewhere around 7:30 AM :)

I never knew!... http://sites.gizoogle.com/?url=http://www.njpinebarrens.com WARNING: the above link is not very politically correct, but is very funny ;)

http://web.archive.org/web/20020923162618/www.njpinebarrens.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpBB2&file=index I recently learned about the "wayback machine" at archive.org. Their webcrawlers have been archiving everything on the internet since 1996. The earliest NJpinebarrens site I could...
