Magical Balloon Rodeo on Cross St.

Rod and I were walking to WesShop and hundreds and hundreds of balloons came out of nowhere, popping in the distance, flocking and hopping and circling and bewildering the living shit out of the cars. Filming was difficult. There were so many more in the distance and hiding in hedges and splayed across lawns and [...]

ACB got yer number? An Internet Privacy Rant.

TL:DR -> go Here, go to bottom, select all, opt out. Peter Frank Makes Bank.
Today, I was browsing the internet, looking for an article of clothing to buy myself for my birthday. I visited two websites of people that make clothes. Shortly thereafter, I visited the ACB. I noticed, to my surprise, that the [...]

Big Day For the Internet

1. In case you’ve been sleeping under a snowdrift all day, (or out frolicking and sledding down Foss with shrieking children, in which case I applaud/envy you) Google is kind of gently subsuming Twitter (and Flickr, and and and) under its hyper-easy, non-character-limited, locationally-aware Buzz… Thing. It’s like Pokemon out there, gotta catch all the [...]

“Facebook for nerds”

Professors: they might or might not be on Facebook, but do you really want to go there? Instead, I present you with WorldCat Identities, a well nigh voyeuristic look at the careers of your favorite Learned Sages. (It’s in beta and you can kind of tell – not all identities are coalesced properly.) It also [...]

Highly recommended background for those (like me) in the “Power plant?!? What power plant??!?” category. Good read includes the FBI, private equity firms, the Attorney General, trash magnate/criminals and Tax Relief/AstroGlide,

Afterward, we’ll discuss how to move forward with climate policy [...]

Random ProTip – Avoid Clean Accesss

If you hate that AirWes login screen as much as I do, configure your computer to use AirWes-wpa, a hidden yet ubiquitous secure 802.11 network. You type your login credentials into your wireless network configuration preferences, your computer automatically connects and you need never see that stupid fucking impediment again. Instructions from ITS for Windows [...]
