A pair of designers in Brooklyn made a beautiful milled stainless steel holder for the Hi-Tec-C cartridge, and is selling them for $50 via their Kickstarter Page. They are over 7000% funded, so they’ll be definitely making these; afterwards, the pens will retail for $99. You have until August 15, 2011 to grab one! Be sure to watch their adorable video.

The three holdups were the directory structure requirement, the inability to use “site folders” for legacy installations, and the new permalink structure. All three can be overcome, so I’ll be converting the website over the next week. The advantage? I’ll be able to consolidate several WordPress installs under one system, and I can finally expand into topical sub-blogs in greater depth than I felt I could do with the existing site.

I find it fascinating for two reasons: getting a glimpse at the process that record labels use to create hits, and getting an idea of the relative costs of doing business. For example, the cost of supporting talent—songwriters, producers, production—tallies to $78,000, on average, for a single song. The lion’s share of the money goes to marketing, flying the artist around for promotions, and schmoozing the radio people, adding $1,000,000.00 to the total bill. If the song makes all that money back, then Rihanna gets paid.

I’ve been following his blogging, and his recent entry Worst Dressed Man in Sudan contains a revelation that I’m finding applicable to myself: he’s finding that he actually isn’t the adventuring type. On the surface, it looks like he’s living the adventure, but at the same time he makes the distinction between being adventurous and having an interesting life. That’s a fascinating distinction that I will have to reflect on further.

These are redesigned in color using Adobe Illustrator. I made twelve versions for each US$5.00 download, each starting on a different month of 2011, so you would always have a full 12 months of planning through the entire year.

Still seemed firm, so peeled it and sliced it into pieces about 4cm square and 3-6mm thick. Heated vegetable oil in 10″ heavy skillet (about 2mm deep) between “medium” and “medium high” on electric burner. Monitored temperature of oil and pan with RayTech MT4 as the slices cooked. I was looking for the point where browning started to occur, indicating caramelization. This started around 310-325 degrees. Noted that number of pieces in pan determined equilibrium of pan temperature (reinforcing the rule of thumb about “crowding the pan” when browning). About 6-minutes per side, at 325 degrees or so, produced reasonably browned and cooked sweet potato slices, which I blotted and then sprinkled kosher ...

Took 9″ stock pot, 3.5″ of water, brought to rolling boil. Ginger slices, some salt, some cooking wine added, heat shut off. 1lb 4oz split chicken breast (2 pieces) added, covered with burner off, but remaining on it. 35 minutes elapsed. Standing temperature of water, measured with RayTech MT4, was 160 degrees. Chicken interior temperature 140ish degrees, which means it isn’t cooked to death though not high enough temperature to kill salmonella. Ya take your chances for the sake of taste. Ate with a bit of soy sauce and sesame oil. Delicious. Will derive energy estimates later.

It worked fine on Chrome, my daily browser. It turned out there was a conflict with the venerable Download Counter plugin for real-time web analytics package Mint running on the main domain. Download Counter rewrites the anchor HREF to redirect through a PHP script, which breaks Fancybox’s (and prettyPhoto’s) attempts to load the image. Quickie solution: configure Download Counter to ignore image files. Then cuss a lot until you feel better :-) I used Firefox’s “inspect element” command, which revealed the otherwise-invisible HREF voodoo.

I tend to lock-up when I don’t know the originating context and ultimate application of an abstraction; a good chunk of my process is devoted to ferreting out that information before I start. Without this grounding, it just seems arbitrary memorization, which I find difficult because my memory works around organizing principles and associations. It has been difficult to find teachers capable of delivering this insight, which is why I’m so militant about it. It is one of the ways I don’t fit in with typical practice, which is a problem in some ways (slower startup) and a boon in others (better in the long run). (Source: David Seah - Design,...

Basically, ads would pop up and prevent you from doing work every once in awhile.  The patent shows a mechanism where the ads could be delayed for 10 minutes or you could view one immediately so it won’t interrupt you for a bit longer. What do you think?  Are people so accustomed to being interrupted during work that they would accept something like this?

Basically, you use “pockets” to hold everything and place them vertically on a shelf. Whenever you need something from a pocket, you remove it from it’s place and place it back on the shelf as the leftmost pocket. This means that, over time, all of your frequently used pockets will be on the left and the least used pockets will be on the right.

While the actual pieces of paper weren’t too different from what I had used before, the training that went along with it was very valuable.

If you want to look at the blog from a cell phone or other mobile device, then feel free. It will detect that you are accessing it on a mobile device and format it accordingly. This was accomplished using a Wordpress plugin by Andy Moore. Here is the description: Make your WordPress site accessible on a mobile phone with this plugin. Now your posts, pages, archives and comments can be viewed on a mobile device. Standards are supported, posts and comments can be submitted by phone and your WordPress mobile site is easily moneitized by AdMob. http://www.andymoore.info/wordpress-mobile-plugin/ I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think.
