I’m deeply inspired by the efforts of Dunstan Orchard and friends in the development of a dynamic banner on his webpage. A friend of mine, Sean, pointed this site out to me. You just simply have to read the description, but here’s an excerpt: The sheep alternate their positions every other day, and also respond… Continue reading Dynamic Header @ 1976design.com

The Epitome of Disgusting Males
We traveled out to my mom’s place, Dancing Goat’s Farm, for the day. There we visited with her and my grandmother and her sister. They’re “refugees of Hurricane Ivan” as Gwen (my grand aunt) put it. At any rate, my mom enlightened us to the behavior of a male goat with a field of female… Continue reading The Epitome of Disgusting Males
Zero-G Flights now Departing from Local Airports
Zero-G is the first company to offer a 0-gravity experience to non-astronauts. I don’t know that that is such a good idea, but I’m all for it personally. The company is on a tour where they’ll offer these flights for about $3,000.00 in airports such as L.A., New York, and Atlanta. The package cost gets… Continue reading Zero-G Flights now Departing from Local Airports
Navistar CXT Eats Hummer for Breakfast
In a ridiculous release today at CNN.com, Navistar talks about the new CXT truck available to the l33t and rich. The CXT is a staggering 9′ tall and a few inches longer than Ford’s F-350. At 7 tons, it’s also averaging a meager 6 to 10 mpg. While diesel is cheaper, I’m betting you won’t… Continue reading Navistar CXT Eats Hummer for Breakfast
Algal Blooms for your Spring Decorating Tips
From a product I viewed (MoCoLoco: Algue) recently, home decor takes an organic leap forward. The product is one of Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec’s designs. The Bouroullec’s are brothers in the modern art industry. Some of their material is on display at the New York Museum of Modern Art, and their resumes continue to impress.… Continue reading Algal Blooms for your Spring Decorating Tips
Commuter Blues
For those of you who commute, this is an all too familiar problem to you. It took me slightly more than two hours to get to work this morning. This is ridiculous, perhaps not to some, but to me. It’s only thirty-seven miles from my doorstep to my chair, and it takes between one and… Continue reading Commuter Blues
A Morning with Omar
I doubt many of you have heard of Omar Faruk Tekbilek, but you should probably give him a shot. The group is Turkish, or at least the music is. There are some really cool rythyms in it, especially if you like drumming. So this morning I crank up Omar while we get ready to go… Continue reading A Morning with Omar
A Chat with Microsoft
Today I sat with Julius B., a SQL guru with Microsoft, and discussed the implications of the OpenSource movement with him. This is an interesting conversation to have with a Microsoft goon, but a good one nonetheless. His take on OpenSource was familiar; that without corporate backing and support, there can be no consistency in… Continue reading A Chat with Microsoft
DoJ Probes for Pirates
“‘The execution of today’s warrants disrupted an extensive peer-to-peer network suspected of enabling users to traffic illegally in music, films, software and published works,’ Attorney General John Ashcroft said in a statement. ‘The Department of Justice is committed to enforcing intellectual property laws, and we will pursue those who steal copyrighted materials even when they… Continue reading DoJ Probes for Pirates
Darren’s Laughable State of Personal Computing
“The computer industry’s track record is just shameful. In what other area of our consumer life would we accept ‘buggy’ products that only work some of the time? If your car (assuming it wasn’t a jalopy), tennis racket or can of Coke failed regularly, you’d be pretty upset. Yet, the software industry has failed to… Continue reading Darren’s Laughable State of Personal Computing
