Over 500,000 people rush through Grand Central every day, but today, things slowed down just a bit as commuters and tourists alike stopped to notice what was happening around them. Enjoy the video first and then go behind the scenes with our mission report and photos. (via Frozen Grand Central at Improv Everywhere)

What is the Story of Stuff? From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It’ll teach you something, it’ll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever. (via The Story of Stuff with Annie Leonard)

The telecommunications giant said it’s getting rid of its pay phones by the end of next year before they become unprofitable.
If you hadn’t noticed, there are fewer pay phones around, down to about 1 million nationwide.
An AT&T spokesman said the company will try to sell 65,000 pay phones placed in prisons and public locations before the end of 2008. Phones that can’t be sold to independent operators will simply be removed.
Bell South has already quit the pay phone business, as has Qwest Communications. (via AT&T Hangs Up On Pay Phone Business - Technology News Story - WPXI Pittsburgh)

Sat, 01 Dec 2007 11:26:29 -0500

Mail Forward allows you to forward mail from Hotmail, MSN, Yahoo, and AOL web mail accounts to any e-mail address. Standard POP and IMAP e-mail accounts can also be forwarded. Mail can be forwarded for up to 20 separate accounts. For each account, a forwarding address can be specified or a default destination can be used. Mail Forward works by accessing your e-mail account Inbox and forwarding each piece of mail through your SMTP mail server. Mail that is successfully forwarded can either be deleted from the forwarding account mailbox or left on the server. The forwarding account address is used as the return address for the forwarded mail, so if the mail is undeliverable it will be returned to the forwarding account. A built-in scheduling feature allows mail to be forwarded automatically at a specified time interval. Mail Forward also includes a basic scripting capability that allows you to use AppleScript to automate the forwarding of e-mail. (via Mail Forward 4.0.4 - MacUpdate)

In Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Apple has introduced Time Machine, a very convenient way to make backups. Unfortunately the backup interval is preset constantly to one hour. TimeMachineScheduler disables the automatic backup function of Time Machine and installs its own launchd agent. As the agent is located in the main library, the administrator password is required for all (writing) operations. Except disabling Time Machine no further system files and preferences will be touched by TimeMachineScheduler. (via TimeMachineScheduler 1.1 - MacUpdate)

A recent study at the University of Missouri-Columbia reaffirms that a sedentary life increases your risk of diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity, but the study suggests that even if you get in the recommended 30 minutes of activity 5 days a week, sitting for the remaining 15 and a half hours of the day is still trouble.
