Upgrade: WordPress 1.2 to 1.5

Monday, April 18th, 2005

Took me long enough to get around to upgrading, but now that it’s all done (painlessly, I might add) it feels safer to update here. Once I’m a little more stable with a couple of other projects I see myself actually putting together a proper design and throwing the (already planned) content on the server. […]

Thinking of Nellie

Monday, March 14th, 2005

I really miss Nellie and her soft puppy fur, I wasn’t sure that I would. I hear she is even bigger now and her coat is changing. Sometimes I talk with her on the phone and she tells me secrets about the cats. She is a leonberger, a German Lion Dog, and thusly the ruler […]

Apple will officially announce Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger’s release at an event in early April and will begin shipping the operating system within two or three weeks afterwards, Think Secret has learned. Apple has previously only stated that Tiger will ship during the first half of the 2005.
Please, please, please be true!

CSS: Inspiration + Aid

Sunday, March 13th, 2005

The ever stylish & lovely Miss Leah has posted some great CSS design related links which should serve me will as a source inspiration and aid. I’ve been working away at a few fanlistings1, trying out some new design ideas, but I’m down to the deadline on most of them so won’t be able to […]

Friday, March 11th, 2005

Over on my Flickr group, Robots: technology + pop culture, member k.Akagami has been been sharing photos of his cute ASIMO toy. Today mini-ASIMO showed up with a can of coke which appears to be using one of the Designer Barcodes I mentioned in an earlier post.

Buddha on Friendship

Tuesday, March 8th, 2005

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

Cyberpop Love

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2005

Steve and I are about to take off for a signing at a comic shop in Yaletown. Meanwhile, I’m still on a fangasm high from the premier issue of Adam Warren’s Livewires miniseries from Marvel. Warren’s got a genre all of his own, cyberpop, filled with fun technobabble, hot ‘bots and pop culture dorkiness. It’s […]

TokiDoki + T-Shirt Web Shops

Thursday, February 10th, 2005

The lovely tokidoki updated to version 3.0 a few days ago, gorgeous as always and the new NINJA CUPID game is aces. While exploring the update I noticed the webshop (which sells mainly tees) seems to follow a lot of the same layout concepts of other trendy t-shirt vendors. Seeing as I’ll be constructing […]

Google Maps is pretty nifty. I’ve used it to find angry virgins in Vancouver.

Judas: Betrayer

Wednesday, February 9th, 2005

I’ve been struggling with the recent betrayal of someone I thought to be a close friend. Unsure of what to make of it or how to react I think I will look back to the original betrayer: Judas Iscariot. I’d like to stop walking around with this knife in my chest and just let […]

Designer Barcodes

Wednesday, February 9th, 2005

In a follow up to yesterday’s cadaver barcodes is Design Barcode, Inc. which has developed unique barcodes that have a more interesting and stylish look to them than existing barcodes on today’s products. I find the work reminiscent of the stencil community which has used barcodes as a design staple for some […]

The Depravity Scale

Tuesday, February 8th, 2005

In an effort to standardize what makes a crime particularly heinous, a group at New York University has been developing what it calls a depravity scale, which rates the horror of an act by the sum of its grim details.

Barcodes For Cadavers

Tuesday, February 8th, 2005

Your government already knows that the zombie threat is real and they’re going to do something about it.
Shaken by scandals involving the black-market sale of body parts, University of California officials are considering inserting supermarket-style barcodes or radio frequency devices in cadavers to keep track of them.

Meeting Ladies: The Puppet Method

Tuesday, February 8th, 2005

I think I would be horrified if someone tried to strike up a conversation with me through a puppet at a night club, but according to Don Diebel “The Puppet Method” works in attracting single ladies.
You don’t just have to use the “Puppet Method” in nightclubs to meet and attract single women. You can use […]

ROBOTGIRL: Blue Painting Progress

Tuesday, February 8th, 2005

It may be Steve’s birthday today but I’ve just finished putting together a photo set of his hands working deftly on my birthday gift from back in September. He painted a beautiful blue robotgirl for me with acrylics which now stands near my “robotgirl shelf” in the living room. View the work in progress set […]

Superman Is A Dick

Tuesday, February 8th, 2005

My good chum R-Lex always warned me about ol’ Supes but never have I seen such a solid case declaring that Superman is a dick. Hilarity on high!

Flickr Ahoy!

Monday, February 7th, 2005

Failing finding an Electra Cy Girl (at a price that’s not insane) Steve has bought me a flickr one year membership for giftmas! I’m going to start uploading some of my old favourites from my iPhoto library, put together some photo sets with Organizr, and get the Still Not Perfect Flickr Gallery up and running. […]

Girls, send a clear message to that special geek in your life with these boy short panties. Access is denied until the proper credentials have been supplied. You can never be too careful around those smooth-talking hackers and social engineers…
