if you live in Fort Worth, Texas (and I do) then you should read Fort Worthology

Kevin keeps posting amazing images of new architecture and building plans

like the new Fort Worth Museum of Science and History and the plans for a new Hemphill

but he doesn't over-do it like most bloggers.  an unsolicited and enthusiastic recommendation.

i first found Kevin when his images kept showing up in my Flickr feed for the "fort worth" tag. (another interesting feed, if you don't mind wading through some random images) and i was delighted to find him blogging.

for some reason i remembered bug rugs tonight.

i first learned about bug rugs 15 years ago as a young 817 phreak (wikipedia).

go ahead, call it. 817-284-7847.. or you can download the mp3 of what you'll hear

back then i heard it was to test hearing aids. the internet says it's for detecting taps. (817-bugs-tip?) maybe so. personally i think its main utility is a simple line quality check.
