Yaa ... not a collage, though it has that effect. Double exposure. The joyous voodoo of chemical photography is lost ... ... folk lose all sense of phenomenal world. Global Gulag, ehh whot? (see comment)

No rematch for Patrick Cote, out for 6-8 months

Comment in News (4 diggs, 0 replies) - on 10/28/2008
"Getting hurt" doesnt' mean all that much. Even "arthroscopic" ... that's the beginning of a long story. Who can tell? Heck he might come back all the better for it. Maybe. And since he had a good showing ... this could work out well. In the long term. St … (see comment)

Amazing Water Transformation: Liquid To Solid Instantly.

Comment in Videos (-4 diggs, 0 replies) - on 10/27/2008
Wudda like to see one splash on the counter ... but the handful into a glass was pretty convincing. What was it, 5 days ago we were twittering about "Scotch tape in vacuum => X-ray your finger"? I thought we knew everything already! (see comment)

Twitter Just Deleted/Banned My Account! WTF??!

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 08/02/2008
If my 13 yrs on the web are anything to go by, this will be swept under the carpet. Think of it this way: isn't "social software" just what a psychopath would devise? High ego profile combined with near-zero accountability. Social networks are an ace wa … (see comment)

A Dozen More Turns

Comment in Videos (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 05/17/2008
We can't ever really know the consequences of our actions ahead of time. Foolishness is never an advantage, but sometimes actual expertise and experience can give us just a bit too much confidence ... with tragic ends. (see comment)

Having big entities in working groups is not always an un-alloyed good. Just look at the controversy in W3C HTMLWG. But I'm happy Brad's the google rep ... the person who designed LJ (from the ground up!) hasta have a sense of community dynamics. (see comment)

Comment in News (0 diggs, 1 reply) - on 01/08/2008
