Sears Tower Unveils 103rd Floor Glass Balconies
“The balconies are suspended 1,353 feet in the air and jut out four feet from the building’s 103rd floor Skydeck. Their transparent walls, floor and ceiling leave visitors with the impression they’re floating over the city.” (via The Associated Press)
I’m trying to figure out if the errors I’ve been getting recently are just me or if it’s a problem. Sometimes:
- when I load tumblr, it shows up as unstyled text (as if the CSS is missing)
- when I click certain photos, the enlarged version is just a question mark
- the “Dashboard” “Reblog” “Follow” buttons on the top of blog pages sometimes are missing and show up as question marks
Is this a browser thing (I use Safari 4.0.1 and Firefox 3.5) on Mac 10.5.7. Any ideas?
Haha!
Kind of a long story to read, but it’s TOTALLY worth it! Hilarious.
It all started with an eBay auction for a new G4 Powerbook. When a scammer tried to “buy” my laptop using a fake escrow site and an assumed name, we orchestrated an international prank where we tried to “scam the scammer.”

Mashable is such a useful website. They always have such interesting posts.
In New York State, among other places, volunteer fire and EMS personnel are given what is called a “courtesy light” that is either red, blue, green, amber or white (depending on your state’s rules and regulations on emergency vehicles). While this light does not entitle the vehicle to the same legal privileges as an emergency vehicle (i.e, you’re not legally required by law to pull over), the purpose is the same.
So please, if you see an EMT or fireman rushing somewhere with a flashing light in their vehicle, pull over. Think of it this way, when you’re in trouble and you need an ambulance, it doesn’t matter how fast the ambulance can get there if it doesn’t have people to drive it and to take care of you when it arrives.
So many times, people just ignore my light and keep driving. I usually assume they don’t know what it means, but it pisses me off. Today, this one lady not only would not yield the right of way to me, she drove below the speed limit while talking on her phone.
All the excitement of my new iPhone 3GS is winding down and now, I just want my picture messaging. K thanks.

I’ve experimented with this a bit — it appears that desktop Safari is supporting some rudimentary transforms on objects (doesn’t fully “break” the page), but anything with 3D is just presented without dimension.
