I was at the mall with Evan today, and we popped through the Toys 'R Us store. They had a cool looking little toy digital camera for $19, so I just had to pick it up for Evan to mess around with. The box said the software was only for Windows, but I just... »
I've been following Pharyngula for awhile - it's a really interesting biology blog, where PZ Meyers prolifically links to a wide range of (often cephalopod-related) topics. Cool stuff. Today, he links to this, which would make an awesome geek T-Shirt:If you spend (too) much time in Terminal.app, this one is a keeper... »
I spent some time playing with Flickr's cool new geotagging tool - which lets you add location metadata to any image you upload to Flickr. It works very nicely, letting you easily cluster locations, and quickly add multiple images. Here's what I've done with a handful of images I've taken of the UCalgary campus:Flickr... »
The U of C threw the switch over the weekend, and the new Drupal -powered website is now live. It's got some (temporary) gaps, as content is migrated over from the old site, but it's much nicer than the previous whack-a-mole navigation we had previously. And, since it's managed by Drupal, content updates... »
I've gotten absolutely sick of hearing about how wealthy Albertans are. On the news tonight, every other story was about how we're so stinking rich. We're buying everything in BC. We're buying new cars. We're buying so many new mansions that there aren't enough tradespeople to build them. Janice and I walked through the showhomes... »
So, 2 months after I finally get my Canon Digital Rebel XT (350D), they announce the upgrade. The 400D/XTi sounds pretty nice, but I'm not regretting getting the XT when I did. Things I like about the 400D/XTi: 10 megapixels - more is better, right? dust removing shake-off of sensor new sensor - lower noise, apparently bigger LCD large continuous... »
Cole just posted a note about PSU's podcasting training session, including a screenshot and link to the Podcasts @ PSU website. Looks very well done - I'm sure we'll be borrowing liberally from it when we get our butts moving here. What's interesting to me is that the site is done in Drupal. Taxonomies to... »
I think I missed a set of Faves, so here's a batch to catch up. Yeah. I want to be on a tropical beach right now, Rip Van Winkling... »
Thanks to some great work by Christoph C. Cemper, there is now a module available to enable email notifications for comments by anonymous users (which, on my blog, is everyone but myself) on a Drupal blog. There should now be a "follow comments by email" checkbox underneath the comment submission form, which adds the... »
I placed a couple of bids on Newton Messagepad auctions on eBay this weekend, thinking I might be able to pick one up relatively inexpensively, since they are discontinued and a decade old. Man, is there an active community of folks still lusting after these bad boys.The auctions for the MP2100 quickly grew too... »
