b*nQ bl*G

Well, I was working on something completely unrelated... and decided to throw together another entry (or two) for the Q*bert b*nQ contest.   The other project I'm working on (another label and manual) is much more abstract, and uses flat, geometric shapes for the most part. So I decided to try that for b*nQ, seeing as how the approach is pretty much the opposite of what I already submitted.       The colors aren't as intense as in my earlier entry. Also, with a lighter background, ther

Inter-Tubing

So many YouTube videos... so little time.   So I thought I'd help sort through a few that are worth watching, to save you the trouble.   First up, animation:   Insane cardboard animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18usd0iV3eI   Insaner bunny animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLUAbkRUvVQ (A making-of video is available .)  Animating with sheep. No, I'm not kidding. This one even features Pong! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2FX9rviEhw   A sort-of poignant story, fe

Wait a minute... I was right?

Well, I wasn't exactly "right" about Disney buying Pixar, since I thought that it was an outside long shot at best: But essentially, that's what happened today.

Not for the squeamish

Here are some photos of the "real" Artie's surgery:   The new CD4050 was taken from a donor. In this case, an unused video mod:   The old chip didn't say CD4050 anywhere on it. But Albert pointed out that this is indeed the same as a CD4050:   If you do any of this kind of stuff, the best $11 you'll ever spend (and one of the few useful things Radio Shack still sells) is on a desoldering iron. It makes removing old components like this much, much easier:   After desoldering, the new

And then...     Up next, the shocking penultimate episode!! Don't miss it!!   (Okay... actually, you won't miss it. This isn't some limited edition version of the comic strip. I'm saving that for the "prototype episode". )   3 < PreviousIndexNext >

Predictions for 2009

Well, last year I made my predictions for 2008. Let's see how I did... "Apple will release a lightweight MacBook." - Right. "Apple will release a touch-screen tablet computer, with a stand/docking station that basically turns it into an iMac (with the addition of a wireless keyboard and mouse)." - Wrong. I have no doubt Apple has a touch-screen tablet computer in their labs, but I doubt they'll bring it to market. The market just isn't there (especially with the iPhone filling a lot of th
