Good Michael Jordan Article

OTL: Michael Jordan Has Not Left The Building. He has, however, turned 50.

Invisible Motion in Video

That's nifty. I like the eye example more than the pulse stuff, but the pulse stuff might be the best application thus far.

New Eyeglasses

For years I've worn a pair of rimless Silhouette eyeglasses. They were lightweight, flexible, and worked well. I got a pair of sunglasses and a new pair in the same model four years ago, but it was time for a change. I ended up going with the Oakley Clubface frames. I didn't even know what […]

App.net Free Service

App.net's new direction. I still don't see the appeal of app.net. Twitter's been fine, and nobody I want to hear from is exclusively on app.net.

He needs one this year. And yes, I'm filling space. šŸ™‚

What’s Wrong with SI?

The first incarnation has some shortcomings that I was able to remedy with an insole swap, but I think only some minor tweaks would be required to take this shoe to another level in future incarnations. Iā€™d redesign […]

This article talks about how to get rid of duplicate entries in the "Open With…" contextual menu. I've had this command in my nightly (user) cron file for many months now: # Flush Launch Services Cache /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

Wow. I hadn't ever heard of this.

Safari Still Craps Out Too Frequently

Seriously, it's 2013. I have 32 GB of RAM. And Safari still craps out all the time and has to reload every page I've loaded with as few as 20 tabs open. Rarely can you even close tabs to rectify the situation. It seems like once it gets into that state it won't let you […]
