I'm pretty sure this was posting to Conrad's blog.

Three Links and a Dot

Gizmodo was entertaining this afternoon. Here are three links worth sharing.

And sculptures made from dust.

I should clean my house.

When I got home, Dottie had been on my computer. This is what she managed to get up on the screen:

Technology + Creativity

It's amazing the things people hear and see and think to mash up.

Cornfed Gamer summarizes it better than I could, suffice it to say there are bigger fish our auditor ought to be frying...

Neal chimes in, too:

'ders gets a new MacBook

On his first night with a new computer....

Anders swam with the fishes...

Visited the Eiffel Tower with a cabbie who supplied him with Old Style (the new, more expensive variety)...

...and even went for a stroll on the moon with his shadow.

I'd say that's a pretty good first night.

How's Your News?

I loved the This American Life piece on How's Your News that aired a couple years ago. Glad to see it's going to reach a large audience!

Shepherded by Matt Stone and Trey Parker, this new MTV news series - yes, MTV, yes, news - is by and about disabled people. Timmy! A sneak preview via Boing Boing:



Creator Arthur Bradford:

We had a lot of fun shooting this series. Everywhere we went people would stare at the bus and come up and talk to us. For me, as the director, it was often exhausting and sometimes stressful, like when one of our reporters would have a seizure or shit their pants in the middle of shooting something important. Both of these things happened more than I'd like to recall. But it was overall a pretty magical experience and the fact this this show is now going to air on primetime and be available to so many households across America is something we should all rejoice in.

Amen.

Friday Cat Post with Technology

A loss for the world of televisual manipulation

I've just learned that it is quite common among new flat-screen LCD or plasma HD type televisions not to have a video output. This means one cannot record the signal emanating from the TV (i.e. broadcast television) onto another medium such as a tape or into a computer editing program. First, I am bummed because I can't record the inaugural address tomorrow. However, this has far broader implications for those of us media manipulator types who enjoy bastardizing the drivel spit out at us. After all, it's better to mess with your television than to kill it.
