Sometimes Silent

Julie Leung: Seedlings & Sprouts

Well I’m showing how much of a blog newbie I am, I made a comment on Julie’s blog and I somehow think there’s some easy way to show the comment I made here without having to type and copy and paste it.

Or maybe that method is now discouraged because of spam?

At any rate, I’ve been following Julie’s blog for a few months now. I find her writing very calming and yet thought provoking as well. It sometimes includes geek, tech and internet related topics but I see it mainly about life. She usually includes interesting pictures in her posts as well.

The Cellular Squirrel - Stefan Marti

So instead of an annoying ringing, vibrating cell phone you could have…. a squirrel!

Odd idea.

Here’s the page of videos for this idea:

And another article on this:

Kudos to MetaFilter for bringing this wonder to my attention.

I’m back from my trip but still catching up on a lot of stuff so just posting this quick link before I get into my trip report etc.

Check it out though… the page is sponsored by the letter E… that’s my big brother…

….A camping and climbing I will go, Hi Ho the Dary Oh, A camping and climbing I will go…”

I only wish my shoulder wasn’t injured. I have a rotator cuff injury with tendonitis on top of it so says the Nurse Practioner I saw on Monday. I suspected something was up because it’s been hurting for months and didn’t get better even when I laid off climbing for awhile. But I’m going on this trip and will at least be out there in the wilderness again. I’ll probably do just 2 easy multipitch climbs that won’t take much upper body strength. I’m going to bring my camera along so I hope to come back with some great pics to share and hopefully some of good enough quality for me to sell as prints.

I may do some mobile blogging so we’ll see how it goes.

Company Names

This is a quick and interesting read.

It lists companies such as Adobe, Microsoft, Apple and Xerox.

Props to Digg for the link.

Experimental Hybrid Cars Get Up to 250 Mpg - Yahoo! News

I don’t have a Prius but I think they’re a great idea. Even though the Prius, and the mod talked about in the article aren’t the perfect solution for the environment I think they are a step in the right direction.

On a selfish note, I’d like to see more Prius get sold so that eventually the price might come down on all hybrids to a level where I can afford an SUV type version of one (I need room to transport business and climbing/camping stuff).

At User Experience Week, August 22-25 in Washington, D.C., Eric Costello will join us for a talk on the evolution of Flickr, the wildly successful photo sharing site that has become one of the most talked-about examples of the next generation of Web applications.

Floating Logos Project

Photoshopped signs make for eerie pictures.

The Public Domain Podcast

This is my newest project. The Public Domain Podcast is a weekly show of entertaining works from the public domain read out loud. I will most likely get into appropriately tagged Creative Commons works as well. So far stories have been released every Sunday but I am thinking of changing that to a Monday release. The first three stories are from Edgar Allen Poe, Lafcadio Hearn and Mark Twain.
