That Much Closer to Jacking In
I heard these articles mentioned on The Commandline podcast: A wearable brain computer interface. And for only 9000E, you can type by thinking. I would have thought that this technology would have made it on the scene a long time ago. It’s very much something that would mesh will well with wearable computers. Just need…

Moon, 2010-03-04
I’m impressed that even though I was so lazy as to not hang a sandbag from my tripod, it was as sharp as it is. Print version.

Wildly Varying Monitor Gamma
With all my recent photo work, I’ve started developing an eye for how my photos are looking on different monitors. I have an LG monitor at home for which I have a ICM profile for. I can get Ubuntu to load this profile using xcalib. At work, I have two Viewsonics that don’t live on…

Tree Sign, Ravenna Park, 2010-02-15
I’ve walked by this sign in Ravenna park for years. I’m guessing it used to be a yield sign. Now it’s a macabre symbol that reminds me much of the art I produced in middle school. Print version.
