Vine City storm damage 2
Update: threw this particular video over to MTV for this week’s story.
As I watched the continuing “disaster porn,” as one local blogger put it, on the TV, Twitter filled another gap and alerted me to the distinct lack of coverage of the neighborhood where the destruction began. “No [mainstream media] in Vine City yet. It’s […]

N95: The year I make contact

New toy.
I am now a Nokia starchild.
Well, it’d help if Qik would give me a damn account, anyway. But lucky for the starchild, he can now, as an independent contractor, write this off as a business expense. Hip hip hooray for citizen journalism!

Gingerbread houses are fun to make. But not as much fun as rum cider. Ho ho ho.

Karaoke War Crimes - NaVloPoMo 25
Click To Play
A prototype of a self-contained karaoke microphone was available for our beta-testing at a dinner party last night. Though it needs a little polishing in the software, the concept and the product — a mic you plug right into the TV set like one of those Atari-style joysticks — is awesome. Our singing, […]

Surviving Black Friday
NaVloPoMo day 24. My girlfriend and I hit an outlet mall on Black Friday to make me look less slovenly and fashion-retarded. Thanks to increasingly obese Americans and the apparel-makers apparently coddling their egos by downsizing their garments, I am now a Small, after a lifetime as a Medium. Maybe it’s time to call an […]

A day in the metallography lab
For NaVloPoMo day 20. This is one of the mundane tasks required before completing a PhD: cutting off lots of little slices of metal that you can then stick into an electron microscope, so you can then scratch your head at the screen and say “Well you can clearly see the micromechanisms of shear transition […]

DragonCon 2007
Click To Play
This weekend is Dragon*Con in Atlanta, and I met up with some drinkin’ friends at the Hyatt to play Weird Sighting Bingo (well, they played, I just filmed). Stormtroopers, zombies, big weapons and lots of cleavage, as always.

The Unboxing!
Click To Play
This post would’ve been so much awesomer if I had gotten it up on my birthday while Josh Hallett’s iPhone was still non-functional, but so it goes. An HP50g may not be nearly as sexy as an iPhone, but then, I didn’t have to wait for permission from AT&T before I could solve […]
