PHOTO - bad photos make good desktops

desktop wallpapers.

I like to take random photos. A lot of them. Enough so that the percentage of the pictures that come out somewhat decent are somewhat acceptable. Then I save them for no good reason, but to take up space on my hardrive. Recently I had the realization that these random shots might make for good desktop wallpapers. So if your in need, you might want to consider one of these. I had 385 to upload onto flickr, but it only accepted 36 of them before my bandwidth allowance was used up. I will load up the next batch 30 days from now.

ROBOT - robots VIA Popular Electronics 1958

there are robots among us.

Modern Mechanix has 5 pages from an article about the furture of robots that ran back in 1958
THE AGE OF SCIENCE has made the word “robot” the focus of popular fears and hopes. The hope is that machines with minds, machines that can talk, think, and work like men, will give everyone a life of leisure. The fear is that robots will replace mankind, that they might run amuck and destroy their masters, that the robots will get us if we don’t watch out. What was conceived as a work-saving machine has become the popular bogeyman of the age of science...

GAMES - Bob Ross, Joy Of Painting legend, to make video game

Bob Ross - Joy of gaming

i know, old news, BUT, smooth talking Bob Ross, pwner of noobs, will be developing a video game, from the grave, based on his hit television show, "The Joy Of Painting". Bobby's news page states "The Bob Ross game will utilize the unique inputs that the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Revolution have that can truly immerse the players while they learn to paint like Bob Ross and can play the addictive and fun games that we have planned for the title. I believe that Bob Ross Inc's and AGFRAG Entertainment Group's similar beliefs in independence, creativity, and teaching others will benefit how the game is developed and how the players of all ages will be able to enjoy this game."
Wikipedia states "AGFRAG has not yet found a publisher for the games, although they are actively seeking one." I state, "ooooooh I hope they find one, that games gonna kick some ass!

TECH - Switch from Windows XP to Mac OSX with ease!

How To Use A Mac

32-year-old big-boobed blonde bimbo, Julie Geng is bent on teaching the ex-windoze user how to experience a mac... The first thing you should notice even before powering on your new Mac is the keyboard and mouse. There isn’t a Windows key anymore, and the Alt button now has the word “Option” on it. The Windows key has been replaced by what is commonly called the Apple or Command key, and for the large majority of hotkeys, will replace the Ctrl commands normally found on Windows.

You should also happily take note of three keys: F9, F10 and F11. These three keys make up Exposé, which is currently a Mac-unique feature that makes working on a computer infinitely easier. F9 miniaturizes all of your open windows and lets you view all of them. F10 miniaturizes your open windows in the program you’re running, and F11 pushes all windows out of the way to expose your desktop. See Expose section later."

TECH - run Macintosh on your Pocket PC

I remember the old days of wondering why my pictures disappeared from the computer every time I shut down the machine. It took a while for me to realize that I had to save them first. My first real computer experience was with the Mac Plus so I was pretty excited to learn that I could relive those experiences with a mac emulator for the Pocket PC. I couldn't find a complete walkthrough, but after a little while of surfing, this is what I found out...

Getting Mini vMac for Windows Mobile 2003 to run on a pocket PC goes like this:

Go to Mini vMac for Windows Mobile 2003 and download Mac Plus 2.6.1 (F) binary (32 KB)

Go to MacPlus Antique System and download vmac.rom, System 6.0.8 - Finder 6.1.8., MacPaint 1.4 and MacDraw 1.9.5

Uncompress those files and put them all into the same folder and then copy that folder onto the memory card of your PDA

From the PDA, navigate to the file minivmac.exe and launch it

Once it launches, you'll see an icon of a disk with a question mark, at that point, hit the center button of your directional thingie on your PDA and a virtual keyboard will appear

Tap the key called Ctl and then tap the letter O key

A Dialog box will appear which will prompt you to open a disk image, you'll need to open the system disk called Disk608

Once your booted up, use the same method to insert the MacPaint or MacDraw disk you downloaded and start pixelating

Here are the key commands that you can use once in the emulator:

'A' - About - version information
'O' - Open Disk Image
'Q' - Quit
'L' - Limit Speed toggle
'M' - Magnify toggle
'F' - Full Screen toggle
'K' - emulated 'control' Key toggle
'R' - Reset
'I' - Interrupt
'H' - Help - show this message

You should shut down the emulated machine before quitting to prevent corrupting the mounted disk image

Quick Warning, I haven't quite figured out how to close thekeyboard once I'm done typing. If anyone knows, please leave me a comment.

TECH - Retro Thing has their own iBoombox sidestep

Retro thing

This week Apple made one of their much ballyhooed announcements. I don't mind when they earn their hype stripes by actually doing something cool, but what gets my goat is when they act like they've invented some perfectly ordinary thing. This week they introduced the iPod HiFi, an amplified speaker system avaialble in the usual porcelain toilet finish.

I'm sure that it's a nice sounding three speaker system for the iPod, but it inspired me to look around my house to see if I could reproduce the same thing for a lot less money..

create your own iPod Boombox

You like Apple's new boomBox, but it's pricey. How do you make an iPod BoomBox for a fraction of the cost. With powered computer speakers found at a garage sale, duct tape and felt pads. I got tired of tripping on my headphone wire while doing work in the house listening to my iPod. After hearing about the new speaker that apple has, I thought it's be nice to have one for the house. But $349.00 is a little too steep for my pocket. So I decided to make my own. I created this tutorial so that you can be rocking the house in 20 minutes.

MUSIC - VIDEO GAMES - FLASH - name that tune/video game tune

NAME THAT GAME

I may have blogged this before? Hmmm... I like this game cause I'm old as the hills, playing games before you were born. If your an old fart like me, this game will bring back memories of joysticks slick with pizza juice and the pie man trying to throw you and your friends out every 15 minutes. "Name that game" is a multiple choice quiz. The twist, the game will play a couple of bars from one of the thousands of classic home and arcade video games from the early days, and you test your decrepit memory and see if you can choose the right title.

TECH - a Web Word Processor that many can use at once

writely

If you like writing but can't afford a quality word processor because you dropped all your loot on bandwidth, then I would recommend Writely. It's a cross platform app that loads in from the web instead of your hardrive and two of my favorite features is it's free and that you can give access to your document by just adding them to a list. Once they have access, they can also modify the document. Great for group writing for stuff that requires such things.

Official Description:

TECH - Dreamstation Video Game Show podcast

Dreamstation

Todays STANLY is the Dreamstation Video Game Show. I've been meaning to blog this for a while now, but failed my last three attempts because of bad "copy/paste" skills. Since I've spent a lot of time trying to find a good quality video game show, I can honestly say that these guys are by far the best. It might be because they are all older than 13 but more than likely it's because they are well informed, do the show for fun, and have a great time doing it. Some of my favorite segments are the weekly rants on Florida Lawyer, video game opponent and all round nut-case, Jack Thompson, who they refer to as "Bumblefoot" (since they don't want to give him any more attention than he deserves) and another ongoing segment is "Video Game Death" where they report on how somewhere in the world, someone died a video game related death. There are also tons of inside jokes that carry over from week to week that just seem to get funnier each time you hear them. I'd write more but I have to go to Home Despot to pick up some felt padding, some duct tape and a torch wrench (don't ask)

Official Description: The DreamStation.cc Video Game Show is a weekly podcast bringing you the latest PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, PSP, Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance, PC, PS3, Nintendo Revolution, Xbox 360, and other video game news, reviews, interviews, rumors, rants, and more.

VIDEO GAMES - Play PSP online with Tunneling Software

Tunneling Into PSP

IGN explains "Tunneling, for those who have never had to resort to desperate measures in order to play great multiplayer games like the first Halo or Mario Kart: Double Dash online, is a system where a home PC acts as a middleman between your game system and the internet. It intercepts from the game the LAN (or, in this case, wireless LAN) signal on the PC and sends it across the internet to another player using the same tunneling software for his game. With such a system, players would be able to unofficially play any multiplayer PSP title with WiFi LAN multiplayer online against any other player with the same system. Kai (the XLink software) even features a buddy list and other features for finding other tunneled players to game against. It's not quite the same as the online plan that Sony's hoping to use (the official solution would allow players to play anywhere, since their servers would be hosting the game -- with tunnels, players would have to be near or in WiFi range of their LAN-running computer with the tunnel software), but it's worked with other consoles in the past, and as of this writing, there isn't much reason to expect tunneling with PSP not to work."

Ken Edwards says"Not only is there a Windows Kai client, but they have Mac OSX Terminal and GUI versions as well. "

Ken's article has the links necessary to get you started. Mac users be forwarned, unless you have an Airport Extreme to make it all work, your boned.

ANIMATION - insanely twisted superstitials

insanely twisted

Michel Gagne says "Here is the first series of interstitials featuring "Insanely Twisted Shadow Puppets" that I created for Nickelodeon's 2005 "Halloween Shriekin Weekend".

I've checked these out and can honestly say that they are sweet, and when I say sweet, I mean awesome.

TECH - RSS feeder for your iPod

Pod2Go

If you've ever had a palm device and used AvantGo, you'll immediately know what this new software does. If not, then basically, Pod2go allows you to select a bunch of text content from the web and have it dumped onto your iPod for future reading.

Once you open the software for the first time, you can set your own RSS feeds or select a bunch of feeds from a pre-existing list that Pod2go supplies. The list is comprised of RSS feeds broken down into various categories such as news, weather, horoscopes, gas prices, directions... You can also set any text docs from your hard drive to appear in your iPod and Pod2go will create a iPod compatible version of your text doc and automatically stick it onto your iPod during the next sync. It's pretty slick in howit does this. The iPod "notes reader" app has some limited html functionality built into it. Pod2go takes advantage of this and prepares a new directory in your "notes" folder then dumps text files into. If a text file exceeds 4k (the limit a note can be on the iPod) Pod2go will break it up into one or more files and link them together using "Next" and "Previous". Simple but effective.

Besides keeping me company while giving birth to a food baby, another great feature is that you can have your safari bookmarks synced up to the iPod as well. This comes in handy for when I'm at work and can't exactly remember link I found the previous night. I just connect the iPod to my computer and pull the link from there.

TECH - Headphone Ear Protection Hack

headphone hack

This low-tech hack requires only the smallest bit of knowledge about wiring and absolutely no expertise beyond that whatsoever. The completed product is a combination of earmuff style ear protectors and audio headphones, allowing the user to listen to music or any other audio imput with hearing protection (I hook it up to my iPod or a guitar player's output feed to I can sinc up to the music while drumming). This is useful for mowing the lawn, or working on a project the requires both ear protection and background tunes. (Check the link for instructions)

At first I thought this was a silly thing to do, until I realized that I spend upwards of 6 hours a weekend annoying my neighbors with noisy lawn equipment and making myself deaf in the process. I had a pair of ear protectors lying around and a decent pair of behind-the-ear sony headphones I no longer used. I also had a real old pair of broken hi-fi system headphones from the mid 70's that I could never use because it had a gigantor plug that didn't fit not any of my music players. It had sweet head padding across the top of the set as well as some shiny hole grommets that came in useful for putting together my version of the hacked headphones. I ripped apart the two existing headphones. I used the speakers and the wires from the sony and the padding and grommets from the oldy-timers. I drilled holes into the ear protectors, removed the padding, soldered up some wire and crammed everything together. Because of the padding, I was able to snake the wire from one ear cup across the top, to the other ear cup which allowed me to have only one wire dangling down to the mp3 player which makes the new earmuffs surprisingly tangle-free.

How do they work? Pretty good. The actual speakers sit about an inch and a half from the ear inside the padded cup so they don't really crank, but because of all of the padding inside of the ear-protectors, they don't need to be loud. The ear-protectors do a great job of muffling all of the outside sound and I'm left with pleasant music. But my neighbors, they still hate me.

ROBOT - DARPA challenge is won, $2 million goes to Stanford

DARPA challenge completed

DARPA challenge, (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is a 130 mile race through the Nevada desert by autonomous vehicles. Meaning no drivers, no remote controls. This is the second year the competition was held. In all, 23 autonomous vehicles went head-to-head over 130 miles of tough desert roads, mountain trails, dry lake beds and tunnels, using only onboard sensors and navigation equipment with no human assistance. These 23 vehicles were selected from a field of 195 teams through a series of qualifying races. Stanford took the race in 6 hours, 53 minutes, 8 seconds. Quite an accomplishment since no robot made it more than 7 miles from the starting line just last year.
