Manege Frei
Posted in Web on Aug 15th, 2005
I’m not sure what Manege Frei means. I assume it means something like sad bear in the circus or something like that. It’s a nice flash movie though.

Sand Castles
Posted in Photography (mine) on Aug 13th, 2005
I heard about a sand sculpture contest they were having down in Long Beach, so I drove down there to check it out. I was only out there for like an hour, but I got amazingly burnt. It turns out there is no atmosphere over Long Beach. The unfiltered solar radiation just drills down at [...]
You know, I usually pay very close attention to the lyrics in songs (at least when I can make them out). For some reason though, I never really noticed the lyrics to Maxwell’s Silver Hammer. At least I didn’t until I saw This Maxwell’s Silver Hammer Cartoon It’s kind of dark in a happy kind [...]
Do Less to Get More
Posted in General on Aug 12th, 2005
Richard Koch thinks we should apply the 80/20 principle to our personal lives. It makes sense, but to be honest, I only read about 20% of the article.
Gender Bias in Web Design Esthetics
Posted in Web Design on Aug 11th, 2005

Posted in Science and Tech on Aug 8th, 2005
Check out this cool video of Octopus Attaching a Shark. There’s an unreasonable amount of start/stop buffering in the video which makes me feel like it’s 1998 again, but the video itself is really interesting.
Take That Snowball

Snowy is a fun game. It took me a few lives to figure out what I was supposed to do, but once I did, I had a good time with it.
Graffiti Art
Posted in Other Media on Aug 5th, 2005
I’d never heard of the graffiti artist, Banksy. I guess he’s English. The Guardian is caring some images from a recent trip to West Bank barrier in Israel/Palestine. It’s interesting stuff. I wish the images were bigger though.

Posted in Photography (others) on Aug 2nd, 2005
The F Number – Demystified : In any camera that allows you to have control over aperture, the aperture setting is done using what is referred to as F stops. [...] Every newbie, faces some confusions with these F numbers. They don’t seem to follow a linear series like 1, 2, 3, 4 Notation keeps [...]
