- George Bush: The Ten Year Difference
- I was in stunned silence by the end of the video.
- Are You Watching Battlestar?
- The site’s gone way too long without a post, so I’m just sort of throwing this out there. It’s no big secret that I’m a big sci-fi fan, so it’s therefore no surprise that I watch the SciFi Channel a fair bit. In particular, I’m... full entry
- Poor Weiland
- Weiland (that’s my roommate’s dog) got out of the backyard this afternoon. I discovered this (or, should I say, “was informed of this") when the next door neighbors knocked on the door asking, “Is this your dog?” I was, of course, quite surprised to see... full entry
- Noise Cancelling Headphones?
- Anyone have any experience with noise cancelling headphones? These are headphones that feature the ability to actively cancel some of the ambient noise around you, which makes them very useful for things like car trips (road noise), flights (engine/cabin noise), etc. I took a flight... full entry
- Stephenson on Star Wars
- Neal Stephenson is one of my favorite authors. He wrote the fantastic cyberpunk novel “Snow Crash”, the techno-history-thriller “Cryptonomicon” and many others. In this New York Times editorial he talks about the recent Star Wars prequel movies, the originals, how they differ, and what they... full entry
- Computer Synergy
- A while back, I stumbled across a project called Synergy, which is designed to allow you to share a keyboard and mouse across multiple computers. (This is not to be confused, of course, with another Synergy app for OS X.) I immediately thought this was... full entry
- Revenge of the Brick
- Found via FBtB, you can watch the Revenge of the Brick clip that Cartoon Network ran a few days ago. You can watch the clip directly from the LEGO site or view it from a couple of mirror sites here and here. I won’t say... full entry
- Classic IRC Quotes
- Got this link from Paul and I have to say that I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time. It’s the “Top 100” IRC quotes. A few of the quotes are only mediocre, but some of them are just incredibly funny. <i8b4uUnderground> d-_-b <BonyNoMore>... full entry
- Darth Vader Has A Blog
- No seriously. He does. On Blogspot, even. Subtitled Journal of Darth Vader, Lord of the Sith and Servant to His Supreme Excellency the Emperor Palpatine, you can head on down to The Darth Side blog right now and check it out. It also confirms what... full entry
- Adobe & Macromedia in English
- There’s been a lot of talk recently about Adobe buying Macromedia, why it was done, what it means, etc. Daring Fireball now brings us a translation of the Abobe :FAQ: regarding the acquisition. John Gruber apparently has many of the same thoughts as I do,... full entry
- Safari Updated
- Saw a post in one of the RSS feeds I read (Simon Willison’s) that pointed to this post by David Hyatt. Hyatt is one of the engineers working on the Safari browser for Apple. Specifically, I think he’s mostly involved with the CSS rendering engine.... full entry
- HL2-based Comic
- Found via Boing Boing, “Brashfink” has created a great comic by taking screenshots from the game “Half-Life 2” and then adding word balloons. Apostasy, Issue 1 looks very good and is entertaining to boot. Gamics.com is a site dedicated to this sort of idea: making... full entry
- Walmart.com is Anti-Mac
- This afternoon I happened to try going to the “Music Download” section at Walmart.com. I was on my PC using Firefox and when I clicked the Music Downloads link I was presented with a page telling me I had an “Invalid Browser”. It seems they... full entry
- A New Entry, Or Is It?
- I must admit that I’ve always been rather fascinated by “déjà vu”—a situation where you “experience a vague sense of having encountered a situation before, identical in every detail, even though we can’t say when the first event took place”. I’ve experienced it quite a... full entry
- More ‘Nifty Corners’
- Last month I posted about a technique to use degradable javascript and :CSS: to create rounded corners on a page. Well, the author of that article has updated the technique and now offers more Nifty Corners. The update offers a number of improvements: better browser... full entry
- Comic RSS Feeds
- For some reason I decided to update the RSS/Atom feeds I’m subscribed to with NetNewsWire (2.0 beta) this morning. Specifically, I wanted to grab feeds to some of the web comics that I enjoy but have been neglecting to read simply because I don’t make... full entry
- Alien *WHAT* Predator?
- Alien. The nightmarish extraterrestrial organism that has corrosive acid for blood, and paralyzes and cocoons human hosts to incubate its young. Predator. The relentless hunter from the stars that employs inhuman devices to capture their prey, and eviscerate the body to obtain its skull and... full entry
- Writings of H.P. Lovecraft
- I was looking for links to read the short stories of H.P. Lovecraft, the horror author from the turn of last century, when I discovered that his works prior to 1923 are now public domain. And whether the copyrights of the stories he wrote after... full entry
- Blatant Plagiarism
- Boing Boing gives us the link to a great story that happened over the weekend. Nate Kushner was checking his email when he got a random AIM message from someone. It turns out she was looking to get someone to write a paper for her... full entry
- ‘Nifty Corners’ in CSS
- Web-graphics.com points us toward this very cool tutorial for /pro.html.it/">http://pro.html.it/.)
