My brother Luke sent me a link to a cool online favicon maker he used to make a favicon for my new company, Izeni. It’s pretty easy to use, so I made one for my blog as well. (Yes, it’s that same ugly pic, just smaller). Anyway, it’s kind of fun. If I’d known it [...]
I was listening to the Nightside Project on KSL when one of the radio hosts (I don’t know his name) said he hates it when he sees people wearing the “I voted” stickers. He listed a number of reasons, but the one I got a kick out of was basically that the people who don’t [...]
This is who I’m being for Halloween. :)
Ron Paul was dead right about the economy. If you haven’t watched his videos on YouTube, you should. He was calling the bursting of the housing bubble well before it happened. And the credit crunch? Yep, he’s warned of that too.
Ron Paul would have smoked Obama in the [...]
Warning: Big-time nerder alert! If you find overt nerdyness offensive, zone out now or just click right on through.
I’m neither a computer scientist not a mathematician (and it probably shows), but I’m curious enough to poke around a bit. Lately I’ve been having fun with combinatorics.
One of the programs I often write as I’m learning [...]
King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters is a documentary about a rivalry between two classic gaming champions (one of whom sports a sweet mullet). Check out the trailer. Can you say awesome?
King of Kong was directed and produced by some of the same folks that did New York Doll.
I hate to do this to you again, but I just find these cyclical spikes in search traffic way too interesting. (I’m a big-time nerder, I know.) Anyway, here’s another cool keyword volume chart for today, “Friday the 13th”.
This trend for “13″ by itself is also kind of interesting. I didn’t expect this, but I [...]
It’s officially July 7, 2007 — 777 — and I have a distinct impression that today might be the best 777 this millennium. Except for the obvious esoteric number fun, I don’t attribute meaning to it –unless the rapture comes, in which case I’ll quickly edit my post. :)
What I am interested in, however, are [...]
If keyword search volumes were stocks, I’d be buying “Daylight Savings” right now. I’m pretty sure it’s just about to hit the J curve.
I’m not too sure how long I would keep it past Sunday though… :)
Did you know that Daily Savings Time was Benjamin Franklin’s idea? Here’s the essay where he introduced the concept. [...]
Local chef geek extraordinaire Joseph Hall spent several days making an awesome custom cake shaped as Tux the penguin (the Linux mascot). The killer cake, part of the PLUG’s 10th anniversary celebration, was not only attractive, but super yummy. Joseph also provided a full Tux Cake HOWTO for Linux-loving food-o-philes around the world.
Anyway, check out [...]
We got an ad in the mail today for “Superman, the Musical”. I couldn’t figure out if it was trying to appeal to me or my wife… I think it was promoting some twisted compromise where we both lose. Segmentation, anyone?
Next up: Rambo, the Ballet. :)
