ex machina

no progress on the google phonebook operator issue other than the odd bit of evidence that for a given query the "results returned" value will be correct, but there's nothing in the results array. for example if i search for "phonebook:snowdeal, maine" i get 23 results using the web interface and the api says that it's returning 23 results, but nothing is in the results array. hrrrm.

the ever-informative tara, of research buzz fame, was nice enough to let me know that there actually several undocumented phone operators:

rphonebook:
bphonebook:
phonebook:

presumably, the r and b indicate residential and business. anyone else, please feel free to let me know what dopy thing or another i'm doing wrong that's sabotaging my evil plan for a cheap nationwide address/phone conversion available via instant messaging.

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

[ about ]

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
