These specifically? Hmm. I think I don't have the source to Ventura Heat anymore. I probably should ask him and write one. :P

Haha! Oh Lou. Nostalgia makes for great motivation. I still remember staying up late critiquing some of these. The important part, though, is that we are now far beyond the point w…

ijustgotanstd.com is still available.

I would freak the hell out if I were soloing this sucker for the first time. I imagine the tandem trainer version would be extremely uncomfortable, as well.

Reminds me of East Germany. I like the idea of crowdsourcing menial tasks, but crowsourcing what's fundamentally a judgement call is a horrifying prospect. The presented scenario i…

Local storage, canvas, mobile location and websockets/long polling. I'd been away from the frontend for quite some time (2006-2008, an epoch in web standards terms) and learning th…

From when I had this same idea (watching a movie and taking a leak while not losing information): Icecast on Linux and Windows. Nowadays there's PulseAudio's RTP Multicast on Linux…

What? Evolution happens epoch over epoch, not in action. My only hope in being launched into space in a shitty little rocket is to blow up in a massive regulation-inducing ball of …

Wasn't this the entire plot to Pi?

Given that John Carmack is a massive Republican jerk, part of me wants to say "socialism (and Jet A subsidization) rules!" The rest of me wants to steal the rocket and fire myself …

Wasn't this done a decade ago with ReaperBot?

Should I be blushing at the pictures?

When I saw that horrible hand-drying contraption, my first thought was "am I required to put my hands above shoulder-level to get them dry?" My second was "will it amputate my hand…

A lot of people ignore common sense for platitudes. Sensationalist pro-greenwash caterwauling is just another trend among many that persists across generations, since before our mo…
