My last.fm
As usual, I’m pretty late to the game. Finally, I have joined last.fm. The result can also be seen on my colophon. Last.fm is a music statistics service that records in a database, what music you listen to. The kicker is the social aspect, where you can view “neighbor” playlists, add friends, view music compatability [...]
Agnostic, Atheist, Antitheist
My good friend Brian chooses and elaborates on what he believes in, and why. Very well written, intelligent and most interesting. Personally, I share his reasoning, which once again makes us agree on a rather complex issue.
3rd Place: Opera Sings Out of Tune
Since trying out Opera 9, I’ve been slowly warming towards the browser. It’s really fast, it does most of what I need, and it does it all pretty well. There are some quirks and ifs here and there, but generally it’s rock-solid competition for Firefox.
This got me thinking. Why didn’t I even consider running Opera before? Why is the Opera browser share as low as 1.5%, when the browser is, in fact, more decent than that?
In this entry I’d like to touch upon some design issues, usability issues, interface design decisions and naming issues I personally think could use touch-ups or changes.
Driving Ecologically [Update]
Since mid-summer, I’ve been the proud owner of a Peugeot 306 (as seen here). It was a used car (1994) and an affordable buy. Like all older cars, the fuel economy is not up to par with recent cars, but it’s not terrible either.
Since I only got my drivers license some three months prior to getting the car, I’ve been trying to learn to drive ecologically / economically. I do not drive much, I only use the car for longer trips (parents, weekend getaways, IKEA). In the process I have picked up a few tricks which I’d like to bounce off of you, esteemed reader and/or more experienced driver than me.
Nintendo Wii: Plays Weird Games, DVDs?
Since I purchased a DS lite a while back, Nintendo has reinvigorated my interest in videogames. The last time I had any interest in videogames (as in not PC games) was a time when the best console was called “Super Nintendo”. Enter the Wii. Point the remote control at where you want to go, make [...]
Fauna RC Released
The release I’m the most proud of yet: Fauna RC has been released. RC is for “Release Candidate”, which means it’s the second-last release before the big 1.0 final version.
Casino Royale: 100% Fresh Tomatoes
It looks like the next Bond movie, Casino Royale, is good news to Bond-fans. Although it has only gotten a handful reviews, those reviews are good; Rotten Tomatoes shows a full fresh tomatometer. In any case, Eva Green is reason enough to warrant a ticket for me.
