here’s some concrete evidence that my worst fear may already have come to light.

i previously posted the bay-area terrestrial radio stations i listen to. it’s worth mentioning kexp and kuoi. they’re both good streaming alternatives to the poor fm reception i get in my office.

here’s proof that drugs and shockwave flash don’t mix. note the titles of some of these (“gangascope“). the author has kindly inluded source. it’s too bad i have no desire to learn flash.
the domain name (phong.com) makes me want to grab a newer pov-ray and play with all the features added since i knew it. radiosity wasn’t implemented in the ‘stable’ release when i used it.

i just ran across hackingnetflix. it makes my hacks look trendy. one of the articles in there states that national penetration is at 1.8%. nicole and i had debated/wagered on this number a year or so back. neither of us would have thought it would be even close to this successful.

i’ve been looking for a good off-camera external flash for awhile. steve man (wearcam.org) raves about the metz flashes.
price is a bit steep for me, but if warren can convince me to get a nikon d70, it might be worth it.

been awhile since i’ve posted anything. been somewhat hectic at work, even though i’m only peripherally involved.
osnews.com points out that beos lives. ebay didn’t turn up any beboxes, i wonder how many made it out the door before they stopped building hardware.
extreme rocking

celeste flipped her rocking chair over backward, this morning. recognizing her need to thrill-seek, i offered to convert it into a go-kart, with rubber tires, roll bars, an engine and steering wheel. she didn’t think it was funny.
