There is not a Sunday morning that goes by where I don’t check out the latest offerings from PostSecret, a project started after its creator, Frank Warren, had a dream while visiting Paris in 2003. The idea behind the site is that people send in their secrets anonymously, on 4×6 postcards that they have created themselves. Senders [...]

The Cure for a Bad Day
I had a bad day today. Nothing terrible, but it started with a dog that popped out of nowhere to harass me during my run, continued with me nearly falling over trying to avoid the dog, followed up with severe traffic on my way to work, and of course, computer problems in the office. Plus [...]

How Big is Big? How Small is Small? Find Out on The Scale of the Universe 2 Website
“Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.” - The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Yes, space IS big, but that is only one side of the coin [...]
Want to Know the Difference Between Two Things? DifferenceBetween.net Can Help
This morning I wanted to make sure that I was straight about what the difference between clams and oysters was, beyond taste; I must have slept through that lesson in Biology. As I often do, I turned to Google and posed my question in the search bar. The first site that popped up answered my question perfectly, and when [...]

Image courtesy of LostandTired Last night while viewing to the RadioAndroid.net show I was able to be part of something pretty special. It’s been a while since I was able to listen in on the show but I’m certainly glad this was the one I was able to attend. The show starts at 10pm on [...]
Google’s Brilliant Tribute to Les Paul, Instrumental Inventor
Mitchell Oke left me a message asking if I had seen Google yet this morning. Of course, he left it last night, since he is hours ahead of me in Australia. I took a look, and he is correct … it’s brilliant. From the Google Blog: The electric guitar brings back memories for me of [...]

When you really know your stuff, you can do some pretty amazing things with Photoshop. A co-worker and teacher of mine, Gene Strickland, has done something [...]

Get Added to Orange UK’s Secret Portrait Twitter Gallery
I’ve always loved watching caricature artists quickly plot out their exaggerated perception of their subjects, but this new offering from Orange UK’s The Feed takes the art to a whole new level. They are offering “secret portraits” of twitter users based on a tweeted self-description. I am about to enter mine, and I thought you [...]
Review of Astraware Mahjong for iPad on Clinton Fitch’s New AlliOSNews Site
Mahjong — which like Channukah seems to have almost as many “correct” spellings as there are people trying to spell it — is one of those games that has been around forever, and makes its transition to new computer platforms with rather amazing rapidity. I played Moonlight Mahjong on the iPhone for a long time [...]
