To continue the flogging of a dead equine (yikes, I think I am boring myself)… To get the screen back on my MacBookPro, I have found that powering it down for somewhere greater than 5 hours seems to revive it (for an unknown amount of time). Yesterday, I let it rest for 3 hours, did […]
The sad, tired tale of my lemon scented MacBookPro continues. Not following the take, it starts with one of those days (noisy fan), some bad taste from the Apple Store, a 3 day hiatus before the Lights Went Out in Screenville, followed by the sad song of Citrus Apples, a code #ID 10T, sinking to […]

Just be shear, dumb, web clicking serendipity, I came across flickrStorm: (now available as Wunderstock) FlickrStorm is a better search for Flickr! It works by looking for more than what you enter to find related and more relevant images… Be surprised! Okay, there are scads of flickr search tools, and it’s not exactly clear what […]

A new book on synchronous learning strategies has just come out– Learning in Real Time by Jonathan Finkelstein, and there is a new web site companion for the book. Disclaimer: I got to read a preview of the book last Spring, and was asked to write a few remarks for the back cover… I write […]
Just plain fun, and original by Alan Becker, posted on DeviantArt- Animator vs Animation: An animator faces his own animation in deadly combat. The battlefield? The Flash interface itself. A stick figure is created by an animator with the intent to torture. The stick figure drawn by the animator will be using everything he can […]
Sigh, back to the seven levels of technical hell. Nope, I have advanced beyond a code ID 10T. Just 10 minutes ago, I am talking on my telephone, watching the screen of my laptop, and it blinks/flashes twice, and the screen goes dim again, Crikie! I did a PMU reset, and on the start the […]
