From Mark Bernstein’s entry on Practical Prototype and script.aculo.us:
When chemists consult a volume about professional chemical technique, or when surgeons reach for the latest update on neuroanatomy, they can usually find a book that isn’t couched in terms of silly examples and jokes. So can poets, mathematicians, and geologists. For some reason, though, [...]

I dug my Zeos Pocket PC out of a box and apparently let out the magic smoke when I tried to plug it into a universal wall wart adapter. The voltage and polarity were right, and I’d used this adapter with this palmtop before - but this time, it literally smoked and smelled of [...]

Hmm. Time for this blogging cliché: Been awhile since last I posted here with any reliable volume.

This might just be a phase, related to my recent injury and subsequent period of convalescence - but I feel like doing absolutely nothing extracurricular hack-wise after work. This is an odd state of mind for me, since I’m normally never happy unless I’ve got both work and home projects spinning. It’s been [...]

(Note: This is a long one.)
Reading “The slow decline of the blockbuster” on Ars Technica reminds me that this Long Tail stuff is something on which I’ve been wanting to write something intelligent for a long time now. This might all just be techno-hippy michegas in the end, but I’m really excited about the [...]
