Wow.

Damn. So I guess this means that UNC = Zombies.

Fuckin' A.

"Question 5: How many FireWire devices can be connected at any one time?

"Answer: Fire Wire can work with up to 63 devices on a bus. The number of bus-powered devices you can connect depends on the amount of power available from the computer, and the amount of power required by each device." LIES! Daisy-chaining FireWire devices dies after four or so in my empirical tests.

"Here's how I see it: If you really want to be a team front-office executive, you are better off spending your summer internship not fetching coffee for a team or leading stats-oriented Web site. Start your own and own the hell out of some segment of analysis. Post daily, post brilliantly, gently pass your stuff around to folks in media who would appreciate it. If it's good — and if you're not good, you might as well not even try — the teams will notice. There is no barrier (at least no publishing barrier) to becoming your own expert and putting your talent on display. THAT is the fast track."

Dan Shanoff is exactly right — publish or perish.

Very tempted for this. Have to see if it's in the budget.

"I’ll go so far as to predict that by the time Monday April 5 rolls around, it’ll already be an established meme that non-iPad-optimized iPhone apps are to the iPad what Classic apps were to Mac OS X — something you’ll make do with 'for now' but can’t wait to abandon for the real thing."

WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN as far as I'm concerned.

There's nothing like posting on a three-year-old entry to make a friend laugh.

"Finally, that one of the simplest of diseases managed to utterly confound us for so long, at the cost of millions of lives, even after we had stumbled across an unequivocal cure. It makes you wonder how many incurable ailments of the modern world – depression, autism, hypertension, obesity – will turn out to have equally simple solutions, once we are able to see them in the correct light. What will we be slapping our foreheads about sixty years from now, wondering how we missed something so obvious? "

I now want to visit Mike and Kari.

Need to contemplate how we can use this…

I have been considering the switch myself.

Holy. Shit.

I :heart: curling.

Oh, Liza Granade, I think my crush on you is bigger than yours on me…

Moriarity returned to campus on Monday. She was at work again on Tuesday. She said she'd like to see the rest of the biology faculty, to talk to them socially and privately, but also to plan for the department's future.

"This was heinous and awful and evil, but it is not going to stop the good that is in the department," she said.

Ignore the comments, which are full of anonymous whackjobs.

Tempting, but I don't know if it'll work with Ap3, which I bought today.

To think, just last night, Nick and I were talking about Aperture… heh.

"Recording should be transparent unless you choose otherwise.  It's about the music first.  We are only taking a sonic picture of the music because its so good more people need to hear it.  A plug and play studio encourages the making of music the very moment you walk in, and as a result, the making of good recordings.  That's the workflow.  I'll be back at Paul's soon.  I'm setting up a day for my friend k.s. rhoads to work there.  I know he'll love the plug and play, artist-friendly hang.  Who wouldn't?  Besides, why should we have to work in artist-unfriendly studios?" I really want to get Andy Osenga to get me in the Smoakstack sometime.

Thanks to Michael Terry for sending this to me. It's a slow jam of GB's "Crazy". Worth watching.

From Michael. Le hee. Le hee hee hee.

"After a decade of browsing, blogging, linking, clicking and Tweeting, I find it nearly impossible to focus on a book even when I try to recreate a reading environment that mirrors a more technologically simple time." I find it much harder than I used to, but I can still get there. I get there with good writing, whether that be fiction or non-fiction. I don't get there with mediocre writing anymore. I find that this reduces the amount of crap I read.

I really don't care, either. I also won't read your Twitter if it's not relevant to me in some way, which usually means that it's funny. Oh, and I have a newsreader, thanks, so I don't need your every post blasted at me four times. I already read it and didn't comment because I felt nothing needed to be added.
