More Flickr fun

Posted in Photography on September 29, 2006 | Leave a Comment »

Here’s a pic I took on my drive home today: I made this slightly out of the way trip so that I could submit an entry to A Day On Earth 9/29, which I came across in one of my Flickr feeds. The curious thing about this to me is that I’m pretty skeptical about [...]

Friday cat blogging

I realized that this cat hasn’t made an appearance yet in my collection of Friday cat blogging photos yet. This one has actually been faved on Flickr by four people. Go figure! But I particularly liked the comment that one person left: … i like that her toys are all over the floor, just like [...]

Software still (mostly) sucks

Posted in WM_archive on September 27, 2006 | Leave a Comment »

Kumie, a former co-worker, shares her pain with iTunes. Her letter to Apple: While you sh** heads are getting your act together with Itunes 7, maybe you should put a link to download Itunes 6 on the Itunes page in the meantime. Your sh***y program and sh***y new “gapless playback” feature has deleted about 4 [...]

Broken things, Powerpoint, etc.

Posted in Visual on September 27, 2006 | Leave a Comment »

This one went into the queue when I was doing my renewal, but better late than never. I ran across this post from Presentation Zen which is largely about the Tufte vs Powerpoint smackdown. Re PPT, the highlights for me are those which counter Tufte’s position: Don Norman’s “In defense of Powerpoint” and Jean-luc Doumont’s [...]

Note to self: Dirk’s article on applied empathy as a design framework looks very interesting. Consider application to our new efforts. (Hat tip: InfoDesign)

Ahhh, sweet relief…

Got a blog? Then I hope you have Akismet. I’m not sure why I put off installing it here, but the 20 or so spam comments over the weekend were more than enough motivation. Granted, comment moderation is nice (especially when there is a batch mode), but frankly, I was tired of just getting the [...]

This can't be good…

Posted in WM_archive on September 23, 2006 | Leave a Comment »

(Gee…a whole week with no posts? Wish I had a good excuse.) I heard yesterday that we’ve now hit the point where the average home has more TVs than people. Yikes. Of course, I’m a guilty party. I live alone, but have two myself (three if you count the tiny portable that’s been in my [...]

ISO of the sun

Posted in WM_archive on September 16, 2006 | Leave a Comment »

The weather was supposed to cooperate, so Margott and I took off to check out the Barracks Row festival and also go take some pics at Eastern Market. As I was sitting there trying to compose the photo on the right to avoid shooting the duck with the price tag on it, Margott just said [...]

Interpreting Bush

Another funny bit from The Daily Show. Little Richard translates for W. Note: I’d embed this video like Gina or Kumie have done recently, but, boo-hoo, YouTube doesn’t support us WordPress folks yet :(.

Fletcher's Cove

Posted in WM_archive on September 10, 2006 | Leave a Comment »

The weather was fab this weekend, so I went on a couple of photo excursions. More about yesterday’s later, as I want to scan in something relevant to it first. But here’s a snippet from today’s at Fletcher’s Cove. Yeah, bad move taking the picture into the AM sun, but this was the more interesting [...]
