Photos Of Mobile Mini

Yesterday I visited the Mobile Mini storage yard.

Pictures of the yard

Possible interior rigging points and method Mobile Mini uses to secure exterior signs.
IE tech screws directly thought the steel.

Photos of Milepost Five



















Hey everyone,
I happened to drive past milepost 5 yesterday. I stopped and took a few pictures. I actually ran into Gavin and he kindly pointed out where Ground Control will be placed. 

The Red BMW is parked right where the Mobile Mini will be.

Hey everyone!

Here are some maps of the Seattle Center campus, showing Project X locations (little, bright green hexagons). They're hard to make out, I know - you might have better luck saving them and looking at them that way.

If you want a better look, just e-mail me at mapes.james@gmail.com - I'll send you the right and proper PDFs, including one of the complete campus (which was way, way too big for this blog!).

Thanks everyone!


- James

It's alive (the blog that is, or maybe all of us, forever...)

Check out this brief article from the nytimes on future technology and biological intergration. This guy predicts that in our lifetimes, the human lifespan will start to increase faster than we are aging, in essence ushing in the age of immortality. Maybe we need to work in more technology angles into the show, or perhaps give people a chance to voice their wishes and expectations for technology in their lifetime (and even the moral implications). I know we touch on it in LIFE, maybe there is room for additional material at Ground Control.
