Calling all geeks
The Office of Web Communications’ blog is back from a yearlong hiatus with a new name and look. View Source, formerly known as the Redesign Blog, takes a look at what goes on behind the scenes on the Web at Cornell and points out new developments on the Web and around campus.
An excerpt by blog author Lisa Cameron-Norfleet: “… [W]e can see everything from bike rack locations to accessible entrances to bus stops. … the sky is kind of the limit when it comes to what you might want to see on your map. Bus routes? Totally doable. Quickest way from Kite Hill to MVR? Also possible. My suggestion of using the chips in our staff IDs to track parking agents in real time was met with laughter, but I’m reasonably sure it’s possible to know when you’re about to get a ticket. We totally have the technology.” Share your comments and sign up for an RSS feed or e-mail updates.
