Get the recognition you deserve

Crushinator — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 00:01:46 +0000

The recognition that comes with mastering a crappy page layout app that still lives off the glories of a decade ago. Note awesome Bondi iMac, which would have pretty much sucked running Quark on back in the day–you’d have wanted a G3 tower.

Spreading Santorum

Just doing our part to spread the Santorum. (Possibly NSFW).

Adios, Memepool

Crushinator — Fri, 06 May 2011 03:12:17 +0000

Let this be the farewell to Memepool, an early hive blogging site that was one of the inspirations for this mess you’re reading. Last post was April 21, 2008. I think we’ve given them enough chance to come back. RIP.

I’m taking them off the Links list. And adding Clusterflock.

It’s a cat!

iPhone 4 desire

I still like the iPhone. But I’m no early adapter of anything technical, unless it’s free. This is made with that XtraNormal animation site Squidocto demonstrated before.

Multitaskers Beware

The Times has an interesting article about our technology-warped brains. Brrrraaaaaaaains. The best part are the interactive tests, one tests your focus, the other your ability to change tasks.

When passing through Bruneau, Idaho, why not stop by the Bruneau One Stop?

DIY iPhone stylus

Crushinator — Wed, 05 May 2010 23:57:05 +0000

I knew these shouldn’t be too hard to make, but didn’t turn up right away a few months ago when I looked via Google, so I gave up. Or got distracted. Or something to eat appeared. Anyhow, this here video explains how to make yer own. It doesn’t explain where to get conductive foam, but I think I might have some from my boring day job.

A reassuring message from the MTA. Or from the Matrix.

Maybe this only happens in Astoria. Oh wait, there’s more.

On the way to Ultima Thule

Why can’t they make the maps on the plane interactive? I don’t care about the global view or the temperature and local time where I’m headed: I just want to look at the closest most detailed map they have.

a new wrinkle to registration

Crushinator — Sat, 16 May 2009 20:48:11 +0000

I am getting tired of cleaning out registration spam (they don’t comment, but they do create tons of fake registrations), so I’ve added a new captcha thing to the commenter registration. It seems to work fine, and those of you already registered I don’t think will have to do it again. Registration remains pretty easy, folks, so don’t hold back (so long as you aren’t a spammer).

I am the future

I am writing this _from my iPhone_!

Now the urge to post while waiting for the N in Astoria can be sated. Many posts about pigeons to follow.

April Fools from Google

Crushinator — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 12:50:05 +0000

Google had a new service annoounced on the gmail login page yesterday, Autopilot, that would analyze your writing style and answer your emails for you. As you dug deeper it got sillier and sillier, till finally you reach the homepage of the AI, CADIE, which of course, being a cross-section of teh Intarwebs, looks like crap.

Since it’s now the 2nd when I post this Google has taken most of CADIE down since last night, but there’s still some CADIE-invented stuff out there cached:
CADIE’s YouTube channel
Google Brain Search for Mobile
Google Chrome 3D

This eWeek article has a good round up of previous Google pranks
