one of my favorite bands of all time is they might be giants. i have seen them in concert more than a few times, and the story below is just one reason why i love seeing them live: Early on during They Might Be Giants’s show at Boulder’s Fox Theatre, keyboardist/accordionist/vocalist John Linnell called a […]

the big bang seems to indicate that this universe showed up one day. as we delve further back into the universe’s history, and closer to the event horizon, it becomes more difficult to “see” what was going on, to the point that once we reach a certain point back in history, we can no longer […]

43. Rush LimbaughCharges: Rather than engage in the admittedly difficult task of justifying GOP policies rationally, the key to Limbaugh’s success is attracting an audience that actually yearns to be lied to. It doesn’t matter how many righteous fact-checkers assail him in print and on the web, because dittoheads don’t care that he’s lying, as […]

i was doing some thinking last night, instead of going to sleep, after i had gone to bed. sometimes my brain just won’t shut off. sometimes that’s fun. 🙂 so last night i was thinking about how it is we go about thinking about god. i was thinking about revelation, spirit, the supernatural and the […]

heh: “W3b 2.0” We went on from there to make noise about open source in general, about P2P as a forerunner of the new possibilities of the internet as a platform, eventually leading to what we now call Web 2.0. (Or maybe we should call it W3b 2.0.) via o’reilly radar: Bikers as Alpha Geeks […]

Jared: So, Abel. How did you die? Abel: My head exploded. Jared: I see. Hopefully it’s grown back. How’s it going otherwise? Abel: Pretty good actually. Heaven is an interesting place. Even Downy is softer here. I feel as if it’s all a dream. But it’s not, because no one sleeps—probably because it’s daytime all […]

mark boulton discusses one of my favorite typefaces of all times, gill sans. like mark, i love this typeface, in spite of its “bad name” from overuse. below is a section from the history part: Gill Sans was designed by Eric Gill in the 1920’s and issued by Monotype in 1928 to 1930. Eric Gill […]

after reading this article from o’reilly, i thought it would be fun to try making a strobe light out of a web page. enjoy: see the strobe light (and don’t blame me if you get a headache ! ) Technorati Tags: DHTML, ecmascript, fun, javascript, light, oreilly, scripting, strobe, strobelight, useless, web dev, web2.0, web3.0, […]
