Reading Wil Shipley instead of working…

16-Oct-06

Reading digg and jumping to Wil Shipley’s blog post slamming Larry Bodine’s essay on why he hates Macs… is hazardous to my attention span.
Yes, if you insist on running a ten-year-old browser on your Mac instead of any of the five or so alternatives, some web sites may not work. In other news, if you [...]

firefox ‘copy plain text’ extension.

04-Oct-06

Jeremy of Mozmonkey.com is my hero for making this extension.
It’s such a small, simple thing, but it brings me so much joy.
The fact that it can become the default copy function is what really makes me swoon.

Last.fm anyone?

18-Sep-06

If you’re on last.fm, you should add me to your friend’s list. :)
Just ignore all the Nightmares on Wax and Animal Collective I apparently listen to. Back when I had no idea what I was doing (like a year ago), I left a music player on loop for a while… oops. Can’t edit [...]

and the award goes to….

*cringe*
but because the field is in its infancy it is not yet clear what kind of stem cells will provide the results

Tikibar TV!!!

02-Jul-06

TikiBarTv is awesome.
Someone tell me who they really are? I’m 99% sure they’re from Vancouver BC… seeing as how they once had cast from BATTLESTAR GALACTICA on the set and their webdesigners are from Vancouver. But weren’t they in something else? Lala is wayyy too hot to not be a model or an actor or [...]

a friend’s research survey

14-Mar-06

Dear everyone on my friend’s list.
My friend is conducting research for his Master’s degree on the use and understanding of wi-fi and wants people to take his survey. Don’t ask me about this method of “spread the word” survey distribution. I’m sure that will come up in the analysis of his data.
It’s about 3 pages [...]

The hotest piece of technology I’ve ever seen

24-Feb-06

Chris, aka , just sent me a link to this flash video of the hottest piece of technology I’ve ever seen.
It’s a demo video of this touch screen interface. The video starts out with the guy manipulating colored lights and shapes, obviously in order to demo what this thing is capable of as far as [...]

Alex Polvi in the yoyo news!

12-Feb-06

I need to be the first to blog about this, damnit. because I’m that much of a nerd. However…
“I don’t think I’ve ever impressed a girl with my yo-yoing skills,” Polvi said
That’s complete bull, and he knows it.
Polvi, you should be proud to be a nerd. It’s never going to [...]

special hello

16-Jan-06

special hello and thanks to people visiting me right now from this thread on the ubuntu forums.
ooh I’m so self-referential! (self-absorbed maybe?)

emily on the news.

14-Dec-05

Just for a second, I’m going to pretend that I’m a political/news blogger…
This story is CNN covering Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s remarks about the Holocaust being a “myth” as part of his argument for the elimination of Israel and the reinstall of a Palestinian state. Now, these comments are absolutely deplorable, unacceptable, and evil. The [...]
