OLPC

we at TAXI (my day job) launched the new equation site for One Laptop Per Child last week. We urge everybody to take a second to visit and make an equation. Then grab the embed code and post it on your blog, link it up on facebook or do the old fashioned thing and email it to somebody.

This was a tremendous effort accomplished by my co-workers Jeff and Matt. I sat idly by making HTML thank yous while these two cranked out this site under a deadline most people would fear.

digg dialogg - Al Gore

current tv is being bunk here is the link

http://current.com/items/89504054/current_presents_digg_dialogg_al_gore.htm

just got around to watching this… right off the bat kevin gets into apple fanboydom with the mention that al is on the apple board of directors. Nice to see that Al is up on the tech of the new macbook pro when he mentions the gestures to kevin….

its great to see al take the time and answer some user generated questions. all of them mostly well answered for being totally unprepared.

well played.

Dr. HOOK x the hills

part of being who I am and what I do involves knowing wht different things look like. Who made what styles and whatnot. I dont know how often we quote video game interfaces as examples of how things function. We cite title sequences for style or effects. Case in point this clip from the hills I am useing it for stylistic reference for a project, so I screen capped the intro from mtv.ca taking into account that I sit in an office of three people I turned their shitty intro music off and had the good doctor already playing and merrily went on my way and captured what I needed. What I didnt notice was that I was capturing with audio, and the pure magic of dr. hook has bonded itself with this snipit of the hils intro. I kid you not when I say this SHOULD be the intro song.

The original clip in its captured format below.

Another dashboard concert in the bag, tho the set was super short… not even an hour and the vibe just wasnt the same as their last acoustic tour… good none the less to fill the lack of dashboar up here in the north… above cover of p!nk, with members of the cab and plain white t’s

Douglas Adams was right

What would happen if a person tried to travel through a tunnel from one side of the Earth to the other:

It takes 42 minutes regardless of the path you take.

That’s just neat.
