Month: November 2010

I wouldn’t expect much in the way of posting over the weekend, as I plan on unplugging and spending time with family as much as possible. That, and I’ll be playing with my new phone that Best Buy gave me (long story for some other time, but Best Buy and the Geek Squad did the right thing when their repair company FUBARed my repair, and I applaud them). Meanwhile, here’s some fun to keep you entertained until I get back:

• Running multiple instances of DropBox (you can try using Dropboxen as well).
• Thank goodness Sarah Palin never made it to the White House, as she seems to think that North Korea are allies.
• If you’re looking to come up with color schemes for a design, this site could be immensely useful.
• A computer virus built for subtle nuclear sabotage.
• Donkey Kong Country Returns running at 1080p (or what the Wii could look like if it was high-def instead of limited to 480p).
• Booking marking this for my reference so I can update my JavaScript Facebook buttons.
• Daniel Radcliffe proclaims “I am Harry Potter” (though this guy has to be his biggest fan).
• Good starter HTML5 templates.
• Tutorial to retain chapters on your WDTV.
• If the bank is trying to foreclose on your, demand to see your mortgage note.
• NexusFont looks like a pretty sweet Windows font manager.
• The Armadillow looks so cheesy, but I’m considering buying one so I don’t lose feeling to my arms when I’m sleeping next to my wife.
• Another reason I voted for Ron Wyden: Oregon Senator Vows To Block Internet Blacklist Bill.
• With the TSA miffing everybody, it’s one great story after another.
• I don’t know who’s behind Running Superfans, but it’s a pretty fun site for running geeks like me (I don’t do the running like I used to — damn back problems — but I do still love the sport).
• The Ghosts of Amsterdam superimposes some pictures from the 40s onto modern photos of the same location.
• It’s not production ready, but pure CSS GUI icons is pretty darn slick.
• 9eyes is a fascinating tumblr blog showcasing intriguing Google street view photos.
• I wonder if this game has auto-steering. What do you think?
• More respect for Warren Buffett: He’s taking his “I’m not paying enough in taxes, and neither are my fellow billionaires” campaign to a new level, highlighting his contention that he pays a lower tax rate than all of his office employees.
• If Ikea made instructions for everything.
• I won’t do free design work to win your business, and here’s why.
• Motor Trend Magazine Disembowels Rush Limbaugh.
• How many floppies would it take to install Sims 3 or Photoshop CS4? A bunch.
• Hulu is lowering the price of Hulu Plus and expanding it to more devices (including my WDTV Live Plus).
• Pat Sajak is a funny dude.
• Documenting for my reference: My Hyundai fuel guage problem and a possible test to confirm.
• There are some NSFW GIFs here, but GIFSoup is an easy way to convert a YouTube video to an animated GIF.

Everybody have a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving, and don’t hurt yourself on Black Friday (I’ll be staying home, thankyouverymuch).
