The Aha!

lecter — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 01:12:09 GMT

Every day, a pursuit. How to improve. Ever refining. Always inspiring. The Aha! A endless moment. Over in a instant. As it should be.

Thought of the moment:

Procrastination is the indulgence of distractions.

Microsoft's 30 GB Zune would -like- to rock in the new year for you

lecter — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 05:06:49 GMT

...but it can't. Around midnight Pacific time last night, 30GB Zunes began restarting and locking up at their boot screens. Reports have swamped official forums and fan sites about this pre-New-Year's Zune apocalypse. There appears to be a bug in the 30GB Zune's internal clock driver related to the way the device handles a leap year. Microsoft recommends allowing affected Zunes to run down their batteries, and come noon, GMT (or 12:01am, local time) on January 1, 2009, it will be safe to plug in and restart. Apparently, it is a really simple error: ____________________________ year = ORIGINYEAR; /* = 1980 */ while (days > 365) { if (IsLeapYear(year)) { if (days > 366) { days -= 366; year += 1; } } else { days -= 365; year += 1; } } ____________________________ For non-programers, it means that the Zune keeps looping forever and doesn't do anything else. http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/zune-news/38143-cause-zune-30-leapyear-problem-isolated.html Zune users have been heard making resolutions about buying an iPod in 2009. :)

It is a sad, sad day in a galaxy far, far away.

George Lucas, Star Wars creator (and destroyer) has approved the production of “Star Wars: A Musical Journey,” a musical that will open in London next year. It features—and I kid you not—a “Stormtrooper kick line and singing Wookies.”

Despair, Inc. 2009 Calendar

lecter — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 02:14:07 GMT

January - Government If you think the problems we create are bad, just wait until you see our solutions. February- Propaganda. What lies behind us and lies before us are small matters compared to what lies right to our faces. March - Blogging. Never before have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few. April - Customer Disservice. Because we're not satisfied until you're not satisfied. May - Tradition. Just because you've always done it that way doesn't mean it's not incredibly stupid. June - Procrastination. Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now. July - Opportunity. I am Dr. Adewole Aremu- a director with the Union Bank of Nigeria in Lagos - and I wish to speak to you most urgently about a matter regarding the sum of $39,000,000 US Dollars... August - Hope. May not be warranted at this point. September - Sanity. Minds are like parachutes. Just because you've lost yours doesn't mean you can borrow mine. October - Give up. At some point, hanging in there just makes you look like an even bigger loser. November - Meetings. None of us is as dumb as all of us. December - Corruption. I want either less corruption or more opportunity to participate in it

http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2008/09/metal_plates_send_message.html Evan Roth is working on a project that will be released soon - the pictures say it all, it's a "carry on" communication system. These metal plates contain messages which will appear when their containers are X-Rayed. The project isn't done yet, Evan needs access to an X-Ray machine to take some photos and document. If you have access to an X-Ray machine he's willing to give you a set of the plates for helping out - email Evan at fi5e [at] ni9e.com

The Coalessence Festival - October 3rd, 4th and 5th

lecter — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 03:09:06 GMT

http://www.CoalessenceFest.com The Coalescence Festival is this weekend. It's just a few days until your one and only chance to see some of the most amazing minds in the world gather together in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. This isn't just any festival. If you want some regular, ho-hum, run-of-the-mill festival, go to Bonnaroo. If you want a festival where the brightest minds and spirits in philosophy, art, Shamanism, health, consciousness and more combined with continuous music from some of the biggest names in the biz, this is your festival. The famed artist, Alex Grey, will be there giving painting demonstrations for 4 hours a night as well as having a booth to meet and talk with everyone interested. If that by itself isn't worth double the price of admission, throw in Dennis McKenna (Center For Spiritual Healing, Terrence McKenna's brother), Daniel Pinchbeck (Author of Breaking Open the Head, 2012, advocate of psychedelics), Fred Alan Wolf (What the Bleep Do We Know!?) John Major Jenkins, performances by Rabbit in the Moon (the best live electronic performance group), Kymani Marley (Bob Marley's son), Tosh1 (Peter Tosh's son), geniuses BT & DJ Spooky, and other spiritual acts like Kannal, Govinda, Jamie Janover, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, Alfred Howard, and & many more great minds (including bad ass Andrew Rutajit, maker of The Pharmacratic Inquisition who we are making a documentary with on the Shamanic and Entheogenic origins of Christmas), spirits and musicians. All of these people are getting together for a once in a lifetime experience. Never before has the world seen all these diverse people at one event working together and coalescing their ideas, concepts, words, & actions to help co-create the New World. This coming together of people has been prophesied by the Mayans, Aztecs, Incans, Native Americans, and other world cultures and it is your chance to be a part of it. Never will you see an event in a time like this that will impact American culture as much as the Coalescence Festival. If I had the extra funds, I would -so- be there this weekend.

Firefox 3 pretends to be faster by downgrading images

lecter — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 20:54:11 GMT

Sometimes I am amused with the rantings of fanboys. Lately, Firefox 3 fanboys are screaming that their updated browser is so fast at displaying images. Strangely, they apparently are ok with Firefox 3 displaying all images as washed out, dull, and lifeless. And people wonder why I am a fan of the Opera web browser. Unlike Opera (which doesn't need to cheat in order to be the fast), Firefox 3, by default, downgrades the quality of all images it displays in order to lower its use of system resources. Firefox 3 does include full support for color profiles, it just doesn't display them by default. It does this so it can pretend to be a little faster. Purportedly, the Firefox developers are working on this issue, so that the image quality is shown as the creator intended, while maintaining Firefox's second-class speed. Until then, if you are wondering why the world wide web looks a little bland since you upgraded to Firefox 3, now you know it isn't the world, its just a nasty bug that was rushed out the door. Apparently, meeting street dates is more important than quality in Firefox land. For more details, and to find out how to view images properly in FF3: http://www.dria.org/wordpress/archives/2008/04/29/633/ Or you can just download Opera, and have a faster, synced, more customizable and more accurate web viewing experience. :) And there is no need to install two dozen add-ons just to get to an acceptable level of functionality. http://opera.com

Don't be a Twitter Shitter!

lecter — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 21:12:51 GMT

(click the comic for a larger view) http://Twitter.com seems like a fine communication tool. And for particular circumstances, constant updates (while at an event or convention) seems justified. That said, I am noticing that some people on Twitter are posting way too much personal information. Do we really need to know that you are stuck in a gridlock, with block by block updates? If you are tired of waiting for a tardy waitress, do you think she will see your post, and hurry to your table? Trust me, even your dietitian doesn't need to know -every- time you take a shit. That said, if any nymphomaniacs want to tweet their availability on an hourly basis, please send me your feed pronto! :)

(click on the image for a larger view) The goal of the game is to use Google shares to buy as many properties as you can without landing in the deadpool and losing your stock. As with any great board game, there’s a very real metaphor to what’s going on…. What happens when the Google monster gobbles up all that is left in the web world, is present on your cell phone, desktop, and even controls your health information? For all their product excellence, the threat of amassing this much data is too serious to ignore. Download the full game at Google.com, oops, I meant: http://www.box.net/shared/dguu2bfy88
