Microsoft adding a Red Screen of Death to longhorn is funny, but the comment about the new purple screen of death which “happens when longhorn bsods and rsods at the same time” is truly hysterical. (Bsod=Blue Screen of Death)
Stuff
bad d70 owner
I’ve been kind of bad. I bought this wonderful camera, a wonderful flash, had some fun taking some pictures, and then lost steam. No more! Was reading some basic photo technique stuff over at photozone.de.
sleeping at the wheel
People who can’t stay awake should not drive autotopia. Let the woman drive already…
rainbow twangers and plucking
Okay… This rainbow tv show clip is not office friendly without headphones.
Angels and Demons
I just finished Angels and Demons by Dan Brown who wrote The Da Vinci Code, which I have not read. Good book! It was a page turner with a great finale.
field stripping an ipod shuffle
Now that I know how to dissect an ipod shuffle, I think it’s safe to buy one.
virgin silverback
Yesterday Alan told me about fark.com. The most emotional experience of my first visit was the sad story of OJ the Virgin Gorilla. My favorite today: a google search of fark while I looking for the OJ article, the first result featured Mike Tyson biting the ear. Go figure. Maybe poor OJ needs to bite some ears to get the attention of those mud throwing females.
Testing out MarsEdit
Awesome. At UCLA, there is a guy who for years has been posting about the Mac. I just love the stuff he comes up with. Case in point…
For those maintaining blogs here's a nifty editor... http://ranchero.com/marsedit/
Such a simple post. Short and to the point. And it turns out the program is amazingly handy. Since moving to Movable Type, I’ve been a little unimpressed with its editor. Now, Jose at UCLA has solved that problem. Thanks Jose!
comment spam
Argh! I switched to movable type a while ago, but comment spam is such a pain. While removing 11 new cans of comment spam, I accidentally erased a comment from evolved skeptic about the image I posted! Funny, I was coming to post about how I might be switching back to blogger. I think this might seal the deal. I hate spam.
