As of Thursday afternoon, my weekend looked pretty booked. I had a very sizeable project that needed to have a lot of work wrapped up by Tuesday afternoon, which was probably going to take up most of my weekend by itself. Then I’ve got a couple of other projects, not as time dependent […]
They Think They’re Newsworthy…. 4/30/05
I’m going to try an experiment. Once a week I’ll post all the cool / funny / useful links that I find. This way I’ll avoid making a ton of posts with just one link in them! Hopefully someone will find these funny or interesting or useful.
And now for something completely different […]
They Think They’re Newsworthy…. 4/29/05
We watched a House, M.D. rerun tonight, although it was the first time I had seen it. Thankfully, it was an older one before Chi McBride was involved…. Anyway, there was a poem recited towards the end. It turns out it was from a book of poetry by W. B. Yeats called […]
I went to a neat presentation today that was done by some folks from Pixar. It was at one of the high schools in the area (boy, they have big high schools here….) so it was 99.5% high school students, 0.2% faculty, 0.2% local news crews, and me. But it was a neat […]

Typo3 did the cha-cha-cha out of my plans, now I’m doing the Mambo! Why? Because Typo3 kicked my butt. Hey, it’s a pro-bono project. How many weeks do you think I’m going to spend learning this system!? Typo3 is enormously powerful, and I hope that one day I’ll pick it […]
Wow, this is probably the funniest thing I’ve read online in a looong time! Read on for more, and beware the language.
read about the stupid hacker!
They Think They’re Newsworthy…. 4/27/05
Well today was fairly relaxed. No big projects to work on (I’m waiting for a few clients to get back to me). I spent most of my day learning a content management system called Typo3. I’m planning on using it for a pro-bono piece, and, if I like it, to continue to […]

Now this is done right (if you’re a super rich kind of guy). Check out this home theater setup. Wow!
I’ve been reading a book about codes and ciphers, and learned some interested information about Charles Babbage. He’s not only the ‘father of the computer’ as most of us know him today, but the father of the cow catcher (you know, the guard in front of a train’s engine) and the speedometer as […]
Apparently people have forgotten about things like meteor showers. The Lyrids were visible last night across much of New England, and what did people do? Go out with their kids and a pair of binoculars to watch the show? Well I’m sure there were some rational people that did that.
There were also […]

Sorry for another link…. but exploding toads!?
Ah, it’s coming back to me. I actually retained more than I had remembered at first from using Blender those many months ago. I just made a lot of progress on my project, and am waiting for a render right now. I feel like I was fairly productive, once I got it […]
This is hilarious! Sorry for all the links lately….
