Why iTunes Really Really Sucks, Part 2 84 Comments
It’s been a while since I happily flamed and subsequently ditched iTunes in favor of Floola for adding stuff to my otherwise beloved iPod Shuffle 2G. Alas, Floola — while able to add stuff to the iPod — is neither able to update it nor not crash intermittently. So I decided to try iTunes one last time. I shouldn’t have, because I was reminded how much iTunes on Windows absolutely fucking sucks.
No Redesign Today 18 Comments
I know I promised the ether that I’d publish a Noscope redesign today. And here it is; white squares on what is currently a grayish background in a fixed-width single column left-aligned design.
No WWW After All 8 Comments
Cabel writes: Japan: URL’s are totally out. His photographic evidence is compelling. Reading it, I was reminded that I was still clinging to the www part of my web address; my prime argument was that the www is integral in saying “this is a website”. No more. If simple search keywords are the next big [...]
No Shop, Yes Posters Comment
It’s grand opening day at my very first real webshop. So far, it’s entitled No Shop, but what it should really be called is me plotting posters on art canvas, packing it and sending it off to you. Because that’s what it is.
It’s A Deskvu Comment
Resident digital life refurbishing outlet, Deskvu, or in humanspeak: website holding wallpapers, has been updated. There’s a refreshed layout, an updated frontpage and most interestingly: an option for you to submit your own wallpapers. Woohoo! Let’s see what happens to that. Unchanged is the amount of wallpapers there, or the features to instantly crop any [...]
The Ethics of Human Teleportation 2 Comments
Sure, Star Trek-style teleportation seems like the next big thing. Sure we could go on vacation in July just by stepping on to a transporter pad and be instantly moved from A to B; B probably being Acapulco or somewhere really nice. Off the bat we would love it, but have you ever pondered the moral and ethical implications of teleportation?
Converting SVG To PNG On The Fly: How? [Update] 3 Comments
Remember SVG? Pioneered by Adobe back in the day, Scalable Vector Graphics were to compete with Macromedias Flash. They never could (and so they bought them), but the result — the SVG standard, is interesting for HTML / CSS uses.
The Tycho School Of Writing 7 Comments
Avid readers of these snacksized portions of pointless stuff might have spotted a change in writing style around here. Bitter and arrogant as I have become, I dare say my writing has improved. Compared to one year ago, you’ll now find more text (not substance), profanity and mework details. You’ll find more odd synonyms than before and once in a while you’ll encounter words like poppycock and ooze.
My Conversations With The Ether 7 Comments
Twitter surprised me. There’s nothing dull about talking to no-one in particular, that no-one most often the ether. Contrary to my initial assumption, tweeting is not about the odd fascination with exposing oneself. Well, maybe it is, but something much less intangible keeps people there. Twitter is a new way of being “in the loop”, almost literally. There’s a certain feeling that your banter will be picked up by people, even if it’s limited to groggy “Hello Coffee” morning-chatter.
An Evening In Sweden 9 Comments
Once in a while, I invite a few friends up to our family house in Sweden for a weekend. We enjoy the fire in the garden, good usually cholesterol-laden food and alcoholic beverages. Sometimes, even music. Most recently, my dear sister whom is also a proprietor of our fine house, has purchased a phonograph. Convinced that such a device is all it takes to mount a successful expedition to said location, I have not only acquired a fine selection of gramophone records, but I have produced a poster to celebrate the occasion. The poster will also function as an invite-to-be-sent. Eventually.
Widundancy 3 Comments
Not so long ago, I gave a scathing review of the Citizendium, Wikipedia-co-founder Larry Sangers expert-guided alternative. I still don’t believe in the project, but I’ve given quite a bit of thought as to why I don’t believe in it.
I love Wikipedia. Everything about it, even how Wikipedia refuses to censor images of Muhammed in the face of very angry people. I genuinely believe that with the Wikipedia, we have a shot at bringing enlightenment to the world in a sweeping, world-changing way. In fact, I love Wikipedia so much that whenever someone tries to challenge the project, I’m immediately skeptical and negative towards the would-be usurpers. Then again, I occasionally visit both Wookieepedia and Memory Alpha, the Star Wars and Star Trek wikis. There simply exists content that doesn’t fit into an encyclopedia, content that instead fits into either of the aforementioned wikis instead. Irony. Flip-flopping. Hypocrisy. I should know better.
Wikipedias Unusual Articles 1 Comment
Wikipedia is a fantastic place. So fantastic that they’ve dedicated an entire article just detail articles that are considered unusual. I love it.
