MEAN SCISSORMONSTER VS. HELPLESS HARD DRIVE
Wall of Apple, v2
Hooray!
Sing To The Rubbish Flash Site
Saw Wall-E last night (every bit as awesome as I had read), and was exposed to the trailer for what could be a terrifyingly bad local 3D production, Sing To The Dawn.
I looked up the official website hoping to find something to make fun of, and MDA certainly didn’t want to disappoint here.
Check out the [...]
Well done, US Patent Office
The world is as stupid as ever. Huzzah!
No, Seriously: Microsoft Patents Page Up & Page Down - GigaOM
Elite Education
The American Scholar - The Disadvantages of an Elite Education - By William Deresiewicz
So when students get to college, they hear a couple of speeches telling them to ask the big questions, and when they graduate, they hear a couple more speeches telling them to ask the big questions. And in between, they spend [...]
Twittered Life
Some musings and collected links from the land of 140 characters this week.
My chicken comic is the first Google Images hit for defenestrate. Hooray.
I have a propensity for looking at my watch at exactly 13:37 and being needlessly amused.
Colbert vs. Cookie Monster = awesome
Poképresident = also awesome
That is all.
Once Upon A School
Dave Eggers, TED Prize 2008 winner, on making a difference in the classroom. Very inspirational.
You can do and use the skills that you have. The schools need you. The teachers need you. Students and parents need you. They need your actual person. Your physical personhood and your open minds and open ears and boundless compassion. [...]
YouTubed
Just got back from an interview at the mothership, and wondered if I should check what nonsense is associated with my name on Google. This one is new to me:
This and last week’s “demo lessons” in Changchun actually make me miss teaching Physics a little… I just had a lot more room for self-expression, instead [...]
Chicken vs. Shot Put
Some Things To Mention In Point Form.
Going to start posting comics on flickr as well. Go there for high-resolution (rather, super grainy) versions.
Related to above, from the left side of the page: “You’re the only person who has used “stupidchicken” as a tag.” YEAH I’M SO ORIGINAL WOO
The comics-only page is now accessible at comics.stupidchicken.com.
Sooner [...]
Chicken vs. Shoes
It’s been a year, but we’re back!
Experimenting with new lazy method — draw on whiteboard, take picture, touch up image, post. The uneven lighting and levels are very frustrating, though, so I might have to dig out the tablet..
Launch
Many Saturdays of getting-distracted-by-Xbox (and subsequent last-minute panicking) later, the new site is finally up!
Still plenty of things to do, and a few design elements I’m not super happy with, but Corp Comms wanted it up in time for the DSA talk. Comments and suggestions are, of course, welcome.
If you’re interested, here’s a screenshot of [...]
The good, and the mind-numbingly depressing
First, the good:
Designer Jon Hicks’ From Design to Deployment, a 50-minute, 100-slide presentation (downloadable slides at the link, unfortunately no video) on building an entire site (seen here: Cheesophile) from the ground up. Lots and lots of pertinent information about web design packed into some of the most concise and high-impact slides that I could [...]
