Okay… FlickrTime (but the page says FlickerTime) is a neat use of flash. Not terribly useful, but neat nonetheless.
Only one complaint though. The poor choice of font for the title on that page might lead your co-workers to believe it’s “F*#ker Time”.

Commenting on Scoble’s post about the apparent shift to commercial skills-based education in Universities where he questions the role of a university. Mike over at Searching, Searching, Searching comments and asks:
Don’t we need the skills to THINK through the problem?
I wonder whether a mix of the two is not the best solution. Of course it […]

While noodling around a little more with Inkscape, I thought about doing up a quick example just to give an idea of how simple it is to do neat things with it. So here I’m going to create a nice blue ‘rubberized’ looking button with an inlaid green glassy-type button. What we’ll get at the […]

There are still gems out there on the global interweb. I just found one today via a Digg story ( Do humans explode in the vacuum of space?). It’s called Damn Interesting, and it’s .. er .. damn interesting!
Don’t be fooled by the gruesome subject matter of the example I cited. There are sections […]

I haven’t had a chance to edit many photos lately - too busy fooling around with Inkscape and trying to write a blog post every day in November I guess
However I finally made some time and brought up the GIMP (the Linux equivalent to Photoshop for all intents and purposes). I quickly found […]

We went out to see a matinee flick this afternoon. The intent was to see Happy Feet but when we got there we saw that it was rated PG. Rather than waste 30 bucks to have to pull my almost-five year old out of their mid-way through the picture, we opted to see Flushed […]

I’ve heard mention several times in several different places that Quinn Storm (the lead developer of Beryl - a composition manager for Linux recently forked off of the Compiz project) was female. In fact, the TLLTS boys were supposed to interview "her" this past Wednesday but scheduling problems nixed that.
While doing a search on […]

As I’ve written about a couple of times in the past, I’m hooked on podcasts and there doesn’t seem to be any let-up in sight. I burn mp3 CD-RW’s and they fuel my 50 minute commute each way to and from work. I probably end up listening to about 3-5 hours of podcasts a week. […]

Here’s a handy tip for any newbies to the Blogger-in-beta engine: Don’t be an idiot like Yours Truly.
I just realized that you need to put commas between your post tags. And if you do something like ..er.. I dunno.. use like.. uhh.. SPACES instead of COMMAS, it will take each term you entered and skooch […]

It is becoming apparent to me that I’ve got to raise my game.
While I have enough trouble managing my own (pitifully uninteresting) personal schedule, I’m bound and determined to do a better job with my progeny. Does it warrant a trip to Office Depot for the ubiquitous fridge-mounted whiteboard calendar? I’m beginning to think so.
If […]
