I mentioned a site called We Feel Fine but I wanted to highlight it again for those who missed it earlier.
The site finds people’s emotions and displays them in a very cool graphical way. The simplicity grants even the first time user solid understanding, and you don’t need to read an explanation or a guide to [...]
It’s raining here in Seattle and, as you must know, Sunday is for softball. So I want to know whether the game is on, and I find a phone number on the league website: (206) 320-TEAM.
But I have an awesome Blackberry Pearl and the letter keys do not match up with the phone keypad. What [...]
It has arrived. I found this on my external HD and I had to put it through the tubes.
The answer to the “but Macs are so pretty” phenomenon may have arrived. The laptop is codenamed “Intel Mobile Metro Notebook” and looks good. I mean real good.
And you can carry it is as a purse:
Here’s what it normally looks like:

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. We have to find something to replace the keyboard + mouse combo that every one of us uses every day. I’ve run across another candidate, which I think is pretty cool and fairly impractical.

After seeing Harry Potter: The Order of the Phoenix last night, I was reminded about family trees, especially about a program I ran across a little while ago called Family Show. It seems very fluid and graphically flashy. If family trees are your thing, check it out, or at the very least, check out this [...]

“Do we entrust the education of children to self-selected “experts” without any known authority or credentials? Would any [...]
Earlier, I posted about the problem of web identity. To summarize, people of all backgrounds are now comfortable acting as a real person online. Yet there is no one unified identity.
Microsoft seems to agree with me on this. They are trying very hard to make their new Live Id (e.g. hotmail address) such an identity. Here’s an article that details it: CardSpace [...]
Some of you may remember this. Most will not. But its time.
The Old Strasssdesign
So now for a quick explanation. Before there was web 2.0, before Flickr, before YouTube, before internet content that normal users could edit, there was StrassDesign. As I became more and more interested in Web Design, I realized I needed a place [...]
Optimum Dry aka Laundry Night
It’s laundry night for me tonight and I noticed as I often do that one settings on the dryer reads “Optimum Dry”. Wedged right between “Less Dry” and “More dry”, optimum dry jumps out at me every time. It’s not symmetrically between its neighbors as the other labels are. It isn’t defined [...]
