Before I saw a single news headline or heard anything about it, I saw a flickr image of the plane in the Hudson today taken from a camera-phone by a person on the boat sent to rescue the passengers. It made it to Twitter and then copied to Flickr within minutes and spread like wildfire…
Or this post could also be titled – Hey Autumn, I found a Muxtape alternative I’ve actually know about the open source Muxtape alternative called Opentape for a while but it wasn’t until this evening that I actually sat down to set it up. While not having the fantastic ability to jump from favorited playlist…
Thankfully my life is full of less Microsoft products than it used to be. I once thought about picking up a MS Zune mp3 player on woot, thankfully I talked myself out of it: http://gizmodo.com/5121311/reports-30gb-zunes-failing-everywhere-all-at-once To summarize: If you have a 30GB Zune this morning, it doesn’t work anymore.
I wear contacts daily and glasses in the evening when my eyes wear out for the day. I can see without them but I wouldn’t say it would be the safest for me to operate a vehicle or similar machinery sans lenses. For some reason, as a kid (and as an adult, I suppose) one…
If you’ve ever contemplated writing music with the ding’s from your microwave, you can now stop. It has been done and its more than likely better than anything you or I could produce. from AKQA (via Blankenship)
I noticed this evening that my feed wasn’t updating for the site. Of course it bugged me. Took me a couple of hours of code searching, bug hunting and racking my brain to think what changes I had made in the last 48 hours to finally figure out that a small piece of code I…
As my wife acutely pointed out, “he even tweets in Ebonics.” Only a week or so into it, he’s already amassed almost 11,000 followers: http://twitter.com/THE_REAL_SHAQ I love the internet.
Similar to owning a house, in the web business, you become easily tied to your web host. Fortunately, I bought good when I got in. In both house and web hosting. Unfortunately, being tied to my host as much as I am, I don’t have a whole lot of choice when places like Media Temple…
In geeky-web related news FireFox, the should-be-your-browser-of-choice, just topped 20% in browser market share worldwide. May not seem like a whole lot but that’s 1/5 users are now browsing happy. This is a good thing in my line of work.
Since the once great Muxtape has been RIAA’d to its knees, about the only thing it can offer is a listing of your playlist as it was on closing day, August 18. For the memories: http://muxtape.com/remembers/christianross Although, I must admit, I would prefer to have ended with my first rather than my second muxtape. What…
Not of which I was hoping for: http://muxtape.com/ So long my online mixtape creation .friend
http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/09/18/gospelr-twitter-for-christians/ So sad to see what some deem appropriate or a good idea. Remember Christvertising?
just to have the ability to pay $.99 for this: http://www.ledfootball.com/
Muxtape’s are down. Message on mine: Muxtape will be unavailable for a brief period while we sort out a problem with the RIAA. From their blog: No artists or labels have complained. The site is not closed indefinitely. Stay tuned. Beta users of Muxtape For Bands: you are unaffected by this outage. The RIAA is…
I’ve been promising a short write-up on RSS and its usefulness for a while. I actually did one for another blog about a month ago an instead of re-writing the whole thing I’ll just steal my own content: The way we read/view/see the Internet is changing. As we move more and more of our information…
More info: http://laptop.org/ Interesting idea. Years in the making. You have until December 31st to participate in their ‘give one, get one’ project. Cost to participate is $400 but after watching this idea for a while I think it is a worthy cause. Don’t need one of your own? You can donate one by itself…
