[Axis of Ævil] Lift and Duck: Aside from the cantankerous lift at work and the black eye that has gone from red to purple to yellow, I have also sported a huge knob on my head from bumping my head countless times Sunday on the pygmy height range hood in the kitchen which proceeded to be topped by a giant zit. I must also be providing great comedy for the building security guys as I can't get the bunker door to the machine room open, even when gripping with my hands and putting both feet on the wall. People in the park enjoying the weather get free comic theatre when Otava, after a week of not getting to play while his leg heals, tries desperately to play with a familiar puppy and pulls me along like a rag doll.
[Bill Totten's Weblog] The Mongol Devastations: The way the war had progressed, the downfall of Hitler's Germany could only lead to the hegemony of the Soviet Union over Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. And how the impoverished peoples of Southern and Western Europe - Italy, Greece, France - would situate themselves with respect to the political ideology of the invincible Soviet Union was uncertain. The outcome, unavoidable as it was, was not what the two leaders wanted. Neither Churchill nor Roosevelt could come to terms with this disaster.
[Mike’s Blog] Autodesk Building System 2005 Issues: Since he is doing production work and really doesn’t need to see the pretty bitmap materials in the shaded views we decided to turn off materials when shading. This helped some, but really only makes a difference when he hits the flat or gourand shading buttons. Another option that we turned off was Dynamic Tessellation. To keep this short since I don’t fully understand it the help section about dynamic tessellation says that it uses more system resources when it’s on.
Google Blog: As a graduate student at Virginia Tech, I spent many an hour reading volumes of Machine Learning Journal on the fourth floor of Newman Library. Libraries are known for their vast print collections, but that's not the end of the story. I often found interesting citations on the web and wished I could read the articles right then on my computer screen, saving a trip to the library.
Instapundit.com: LIVING OFF THE LAND: Wretchard has a traveling-light approach to the blog reporting kit I wrote about earlier. And here's what Bill Quick is going with.
Greet Machine: If you didn't know, today is the Norwegian Independence Day, the day that Norwegians removed the shackles of oppression and told Sweden to stick it where the sun don't shine. Officially, this day remembers the signing of the Norwegian constitution in 1814, but most Norwegians understand the true significance of this day as a day of spite towards Swedes and the Irish. Norwegian animosity towards Swedes is justified given the years of brutal Swedish rule in our beautiful country, but we throw the Irish into our celebrations just for good measure given Norway's dominance over Ireland in medieval times. Most of the pictures of this celebration feature children in parades and eating ice cream, but private celebrations usually include Irish and Swedish flag burnings, hanging Eamon DeValera in effigy, and, even though Norway is a Lutheran country, Norwegians also pray that Gustavus Adolphus either be sent to or remain in purgatory for all eternity.
Russell Beattie Notebook - Home: It's been a great few days. We got here early on Sunday, checked in to our hotel, had a few hours to nap before meeting up for dinner with everyone from the Mobile Mondays around the world, including the founders here in Finland and the others from Japan, Italy, France, Russia and journalists from Hong Kong and Norway. Then yesterday we attended the Mobile Enterprise conference during the day (though I fell asleep during a large portion of the afternoon) and then last night there was a bit of mingling (Christian, Henrikki and Tero showed up to say hi) and a dinner. Then today we attended a bit more of the conference, and had lunch with Chrstian and Charlie, then one last meeting to talk about some of the cool stuff we're going to be doing to coordinate the Mobile Monday meetups and now Mike and I are sitting in the hotel lobby with our PowerBooks checking the web and email.
Flush with scandal - Clicked - MSNBC.com: Also in the Times, Nick Denton tries to throw some cold water on all the blog hype. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for something to be introduced to the mainstream? Is it just me or does it seem like it's taking a particularly long time for blogs? Just when you think things are calming down, a new segment of the population is introduced to the tool and a whole new set of "blogs, short for Web logs" articles.
