hey all - a friend of mine in NYC forwarded me this. anyone heard anything
about it?
Start looking at all the light posts in the city, about 7-8 feet off the
ground. Every single one has a barcode.
Steve Bull clued me in to this on Wednesday night. He said a few weeks ago,
he was walking along and ran into a few guys with a huge GPS unit and a
6-foot antenna. They were placing the bar codes and correlating them with
their respective geocoords. He didn't know who they were or why there were
doing it.
Does anyone know what this is about?
Wow, I wanted to do something like that a while ago (ala
http://semacode.org) here in Pittsburgh, but I couldn't get vinyl adhesive
barcodes made cheaply. We were just gonna mail 'em out, and let people tag
things.
Here in PA, telephone poles have unique numbers on them. I haven't
found a dataset from the state which lists their locations and UINs yet,
but I haven't looked in a long time.
