This was the view this weekend looking at downtown from the roof of a building in Deep Ellum. Wow.

More pictures here and here.

What does Marsellus Wallace Look Like?: I don't know what's more intimidating, Jules or the text.

Gawker Artists: Parskid: I always admired the practice of Gawker to place artwork in place of un-filled ad units. Now they've got Parskid in the mix. Awesome.

Horseshoes and Hand Grenades: Joel Johnson Returns...to Spank Us All for Supporting Crap - Gizmodo: Get it together: every single one of these consumer electronics companies should be approached as the enemy. They work for us. Hold their feet to the fire when they say their product is going to change even a small part of our lives. Circle back again in six months when they're shilling the incremental upgrade and ask them why the last version didn't cut the mustard.
Word.

Bush Retreat by Farnan Findlay Architects (TreeHugger): Four 6,000 gallon tanks hold water gathered from the roof; a wind turbine and photovoltaics generate electricity for 14 batteries that hold a week's worth of electricity (do they have longer nights in Australia?) LED lighting, passive solar design, in an elegant modern envelope. As Dwell says, none of the "down-on-the-alfalfa-farm nuts and berries aesthetic associated with sustainable architecture."
What an awesome place, I love this kind of stuff.

Yahoo! Pipes: It appears the Yahoo! Pipes site is down, so I can't check it out just yet. There is a lot of chatter about it, however. It looks to be a visual programming tool for patching together and routing data through web services and feeds. Very exciting.

Visual Comparison of the Complexity of Linux vs. Windows: This might explain a lot. Though, I see it more of a comparison of Apache to IIS, than I do Windows vs. Linux or as a commentary on the security (or lack thereof) in Windows. I'd be interested in seeing a comparison of Apache on Windows vs Apache on Linux vs Apache on OS X. Technically, it should be similar, but it would be a better measure of the complexity added by the differences in OS environments.

New Project

Posted February 3, 2007 at 10:59 PM

So, I have this idea for the wedding. We're working on some elements for guest participation in the reception. I will refrain from divulging too much of what we have planned as much of it will be a surprise and most of it is pretty fluid at this point, but I will say this: I'm working on something using Quartz Composer.

I continue to be impressed with the power QC provides the developer without requiring a lick of source code or compilation. Once I have something worth showing, I will post it into the Projects section of this site. In the mean time, I might need a large external monitor as the one on my powerbook isn't cutting it.
