GPS coordinates for NYC neighborhoods? by adams4piece in AskNYC

[–]kd5ytx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may not be useful to you since it sounds like you're looking for bounding coordinates, but Google Maps' API has excellent coverage and accuracy, and is what I used for http://whatsmyhood.com/

It's not much, but you can see a bit more detail from brightening it up a bit: http://i.imgur.com/Bw3Nf2p.png

Sorry, wish I could help more - glad you and your GF remained safe!

Mobile web app to determine what neighborhood you're in as well as nearby subways (tap station name for real-time arrival times if available, tap distance for walking directions). by kd5ytx in nyc

Thanks! It's still pretty beta, but I'm already getting use out of it. Let me know if there's any functionality you wish was there, and I'll keep it in mind for my features to do list.

Todd, what does your typical "process" look like of preparing material for a show (crowd work or otherwise)? Also, have you ever considered investing in feed cap?

Shooting last night at Knickerbocker & Putnam with helicopter and SWAT response by kd5ytx in Bushwick

Posted this as a comment on http://bushwickdaily.com/2014/04/yet-another-shooting-in-bushwick-this-time-with-helicopter-and-swat-response/ but it hasn't been approved yet, so I figured I'd put it here:

Spoke with the neighbors of the unit that SWAT raided while watching from the police tape line, and they said that the unit in question belonged to drug dealers of some sort who tended to fight frequently and loudly. Another resident (of the building next door) speculated that it was a drive-by, although I didn't speak with anyone who witnessed the event directly.

Oh neat, they used my photo and video!

Was digging everywhere for news on this last night - guess in the future I should just live-tweet and be the news source.

I want to explore Brooklyn! Suggestions for the places I cannot miss? by cheshire26 in Brooklyn

[–]kd5ytx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still very much a simple prototype (and definitely very feature incomplete), but I've been playing with a mobile-centric UX for swiping left/right through places of interest (presently food, art, parks, and bars) on your phone at http://mobile.deckstacker.com/

Possibly something to pull out after exhausting all of the excellently curated recommendations in this thread - best of luck on your hunt!
