Over at MAKE, Phil Torrone blogs:
This is interesting - it seems that a group of artists have celebrated 1-31-07 in their own way and have created a series of political themed LED art sculptures and (you guessed it) placed them all over Boston. Pictured here, Bush & Bin Laden… Click on through to see more [...]
RadioSherpa has released an Apple Dashboard widget that streams radio stations from Boston, New York and San Francisco (they promise more are on the way), including several HD2 stations. It’s pretty cool, and even displays the name of the current song in real-time before you load the stream.

When Apple opens Boston’s flagship Apple Store on Boylston street, it’s going to be huge - both literally and figuratively. ifoAppleStore has had a webcam pointed at the construction site for months now, and today’s image is impressive.

Apart from over-priced fresh crap, C-Mart apparently offers [...]
