Pioneer Courthouse, 1875

July 21, 2010

There is a local blog I fol­low, Vin­tage Port­land, that digs through the city archives and posts vin­tage pho­tos of Port­land every few days.  Last month, they posted a photo of Pio­neer Cour­t­house from 1875, with a school in the back­ground that is now PDX’s liv­ing room, a.k.a. Pio­neer Cour­t­house Square.  I really enjoyed the […]

ARG Tools for iPhone">Thumbnail image for <span class=ARG Tools for iPhone" /> June 6, 2010

As a few read­ers of this blog may know, I have been tin­ker­ing with iPhone devel­op­ment for about a year.  Tech­ni­cally, a bit longer than that — since the first jail­breaks and com­mu­nity SDKs — but real­is­ti­cally, with all seri­ous­ness, about a year of what I’d con­sider above “tin­ker­ing” but below “pro­fes­sional.”  In recent months, […]

AVI video to the iPad & iPhone">Thumbnail image for Streaming <span class=AVI video to the iPad & iPhone" /> April 10, 2010

A few weeks ago on Twit­ter, I asked the lazy­web if they knew of a way of stream­ing an AVI (or really, any video for­mat that is not directly sup­ported by the video player) to an iPhone for view­ing.  This was before the iPad, so that was not even a con­sid­er­a­tion.  There were a number […]

Yes, I can has cheezburger

I like to poke fun at Etsy.  It seems that for every one rea­son­able prod­uct, there are thou­sands of crafty prod­ucts that are a lit­tle too “craft.”  These include items made with pop­si­cle sticks, puffy paint, shrinky-dinks, rhine­stones, and assorted garbage.  I am also a big fan of Regretsy for this rea­son.  Until recently, I […]

The Crazy Neighbor

February 4, 2010

A cou­ple of months ago, @geekygirldawn started up a web­site called The Crazy Neigh­bor.  I guess she has a few crazy neigh­bors.  The for­mat of the site is like many oth­ers out there — I Can Has Cheezburger, Pic­ture Is Unre­lated, Graph­Jam, and so on.  Users sub­mit pho­tos and those pic­tures get posted. While I […]

Hot chicks with objectification

January 29, 2010

In lieu of an intel­li­gent post about the iPad, which will inevitably be a rehash of opin­ions found else­where on the inter­net, I present to you, dear reader, two shal­low links.  First there was Hot Chicks at Art Open­ings, and now there is Hot Chicks with Stormtroop­ers.  You’re welcome.

LG Electronics">Podcast vs Netcast and LG Electronics

December 28, 2009

A few years ago, Apple started crack­ing down on com­pa­nies that used the term “Pod” in their name.  This occurred just as pod­cast­ing was catch­ing on to the main­stream.  Because of this, many pod­cast­ers started using the term “net­cast” to describe their shows.  Off the top of my head, these include shows from the This […]

5 October 1582

December 24, 2009

Some­thing that I remem­ber hear­ing many years ago, either in a his­tory class or read­ing in Astro­nom­i­cal Algo­rithms, was that cen­turies ago — when the con­cept of the Leap Year was first cre­ated in the reformed Gre­go­rian cal­en­dar — the pow­ers that be adjusted the cal­en­dar by a lit­tle over a week to make up […]

ELO hit?">Twilight? You mean the ELO hit?

December 8, 2009

Before about six months ago, I had never heard of Twi­light.  Now I see it every­where.  Between Linda Mercury’s analy­sis on of the arche­type of Bella (and actu­ally, her whole series of posts loosely titled “In defense of Twi­light, even though I hate it”) and Lucy Knisley’s dis­til­la­tion of each book into four-panel comic strips […]

Big Bang Theory on Twitter –or– Sheldon vs Wil

October 29, 2009

Normally, I tend to avoid 30-minute sit­coms.  There are two, though, that get an excep­tion.  The first is How I Met Your Mother, which I may go into detail about in the future.  The sec­ond is Big Bang The­ory.  This is a great show that is incred­i­bly nerdy and extremely funny.  Despite being a smart […]
