Your News Updates

Monday, April 18th, 2005

Flickr has announced their new pricing it appears. The price is reduced a tad, but moreover the benefits have increased. Free accounts can now upload twice as much as before and you can show 200 images rather than the previous limit of 100. That’s very cool! Flickr Link.
In other news, Adobe [...]

Accident Involving American/Chinese – No Casulaties

Monday, April 18th, 2005

The picture says it all. Imagine our pretty blue planet encrusted with a garbage belt. Perhaps one day we’ll have rings the size of Saturn’s, though still just garbage. This is the sort of thing, I believe, that will continue to be a major hurdle for commercial space programs. Sure, NASA [...]

Moss Does Jackson for Your Viewing Pleasure

Monday, April 18th, 2005

With TV cameras banned from the court, Sky News is recreating each day’s events using court transcripts and carefully selected actors.
Granted, Edward Moss is no virgin to playing Michael Jackson (excuse the pun), but it does seem a little odd that Sky is doing this. Judge Judy is one thing, but this is an [...]

Sleep Takes the Weary

Sunday, April 17th, 2005

I’m laying in bed about to fall out. Today, I mowed the entire lawn for the first time this year. It was quite a feat, and our yard is pretty large. It’s also a ridiculous hill from the top of the driveway to the run-off creek. Since I completed the task [...]

In Memory of Raven

Saturday, April 16th, 2005

Our very lovable dog, Raven, met an untimely end last night. We are aggrieved by her death, as any pet owner would be. I can think of nothing ill of Raven. She was a great pet the seven-odd years she stayed with us. I only recently wrote of her Wasp-Whispering ways [...]

Xbox 2 Will Debut on MTV

Friday, April 15th, 2005

Turns out MTV is still cool afterall. I guess The Grind didn’t sink their boat over a decade ago.
“Just as MTV revolutionized the way the world experiences music, the next-generation video game console from Xbox will spark a revolution in how consumers experience games and other forms of digital entertainment”

Nature Abhors a Vacum

Friday, April 15th, 2005

The mind is a vacum. In the beginning, it draws information unending. As the vacum is naturalized, the consumption is slowed until it finally stops. At that point, some informational back-pressure occurs and something goes missing. If you attempt to add to the mind at this stage, you only force something [...]

New Recruits

Friday, April 15th, 2005

Carlos Rivera and I have both been trying to recruit additional members into the blogosphere. At present, we’re working on pressuring a fellow car-pooler, David C., and a co-worker, Marc W. Each of them have some assemblage of a web site already, but you and I know that excuse is lame. Besides, [...]

An Artsy Fartsy Weblog: The IF Project

Friday, April 15th, 2005

Scott Thigpen has a neat idea running on his blog regarding “The IF Project.” I haven’t read the book of virtually the same title, but I’m interested to do so now. It sounds like it would be a good coffee table book – now to just get a coffee table.
“The project is to stir [...]
