I like this. Someone took the very first IBM PC ever made and managed to display full 30 frames-per-second video with audio on it. The machine is something like 4.7MHz! The video shows a demonstration.
If only all software were this performance-conscious. It’s amazing to see what people can get away with when they’re focused […]
I just got back from a very quick 1-night trip to Dallas. I’d never been to Texas before. It was (only slightly unseasonably) warm and humid. All I can safely say about the trip is that it was for work. While I had very little time to explore, the nature of the trip did allow […]
Apparently, November is it.
That’s right. Now you can watch me write a novel. Only 818 words today, but I made them worth it. The site calls for just generating material, no matter how bad it is. In fact, in the interest of making it easier and less threatening for people to get started, it practically […]
LOL: I can’t wait to see the footage of this.

Cohen, 33, […]
Hacked Albertson’s truck spotted yesterday. Oh, did I giggle.
“You have a man standing in front of the cable car turnaround doing yoga nude, with a bus full of children from a Christian school next to it,” said the store owner, Harriet Gibson. “We don’t need this in our city.'’
Of course, it’s unclear whether she’s talking about naked yoga man, or the busload of […]
Want to give yourself a daily panic attack? Then track the national electoral vote breakdown, based on statewide polling numbers, updated daily, at electoral-vote.com.
The proprietor scans the news nationwide for published polls, and incorporates them into an overall breakdown, by state, of where the electoral votes will go.
Today is a nail-biter. With 270 votes […]
A nice Photoshop contest over at Fark:
Combine two or more Olympic sports.
And here’s a nice tracking tool for scanning the best ones ever.
I, Robot: basically it kinda sucked most of the way through, but the ending was decent (thanks in largest part to Asimov, who wrote the ending). Overall, it was too much of a Will-Smith-in-da-house vehicle to be credible as a police story or science fiction. It was Men in Black without coming right out and […]
Okay, I found two very nice links on MeFi today that I’d not yet seen elsewhere:
Major found-photo fix. Probably not safe for work. The green squares at top/bottom are additional pages. Knock yourself out!
