150 y/o Central Park map on display, free Battery Park Sonic Youth tickets impossible to get, and Remote Sensing for Human Rights

image and text from NYTimes

The map is the centerpiece of “Celebrating Greensward: The Plan for Central Park, 1858-2008,” which will be on view in the old Arsenal at Fifth Avenue and 64th Street until June 19.

Thursday I tried to get free Sonic Youth tickets for 4th of July at Battery Park but was timed-out. I had to wait for over a half hour for a page to load only for it to say that all the tickets are gone. There was no password or anything to protect the site so I'm speculating that some people definitely hacked in and got all the tickets.

And lastly, check out this interesting clip of using Remote Sensing as a tool for identifying global conflicts and refugee migrations.
