Ahh, how I wish I were geeky/elite enough for MIT sometimes– I love reading/seeing all of the pranks that happen there. The latest one turned a hall into a level of Super Mario Brothers.

Physiology of Introverts
29Nov05An interesting piece popped-up today in Yahoo News about the differences in brain activity between introverts and extroverts. Researchers using brain scans have found introverts have more brain activity in general, and specifically in the frontal lobes. When these areas are activated, introverts are energized by retrieving long-term memories, problem solving, introspection, complex thinking and [...]
No More Blurry Pictures?
22Nov05The student, Ren Ng, ran out of patience with taking pictures the traditional way — adjusting the distance between the camera lens and sensor or film before snapping each shot. So he created something that far surpasses Photoshop. A photograph can be modified after the fact even if nothing is in focus, he said. “We [...]
A NY Times article posted on Slashdot about efforts to develop gifted children is a very interesting issue to me. I was a fairly sharp kid and always had problems in Elementary School because teachers were not able to grasp that I was very far ahead of my classmates. Basically I’d always get in trouble [...]
Big Changes Abound
10Aug05I have no personal comment about this (and I’ll need to be even more careful than usual in the future for sure), but some big things have happened today on the work front. One other link I’ve found about this so far is at (but it was just announced at 4 PM ET): ArkansasBusiness.com.
The Chemical Brothers have released a couple of albums on BitTorrent– one is various fan remixes of their music, and the other one is a Torrent only album. Not content with the unprecedented international success of their last remix project, the team behind “Always Outsiders, Never Outdone”, the unofficial Prodigy Remixed album, have only gone [...]
Stupid Lingo Router
04Aug05So if you got a login and password prompt when you came to my site, my stupid Lingo router flaked-out. I’m still not even sure what the problem was.. after messing around with it and hard rebooting it, it finally fixed itself. So yeah, the site is back now.
Experimenting With Ads
04Aug05If you’re a regular reader, you might have noticed thave I’ve added some text ads. I’ve added some AdBrite ads, and will also probably start adding Google AdSense text ads at the top of each entry if they approve my request. This is a trial thing for me– if I can’t earn enough change to [...]
Off to CFUNITED
28Jun05Okay, I’m finally packed for the flight to DC tomorrow en route to CFUNITED. Well, truth be told, I probably spent most of my time figuring out what 40 GB slice of my insane 164 GB Mp3 collection would be appropriate for the next 5 days. I kind of doubt I’ll be checking e-mail and [...]
I came across a post with advice about dating a developer from Matt Mullinweg’s blog. Granted it’s very particular to her situation, but in general it’s a good read. For the record, I only have a few geek shirts and usually just wear them around the house or when I’m working-out. I have yet to [...]
