This article teaches the bare-minimum basics of making your own “wine”. I have doubts about how tasty it is, but it seems very similar to a lot of the home-brew beer howto articles I’ve read. For someone with a little desire to experiment and willingness to try something new, this could be cool.
Here’s a video message from Steven Speilberg talking about Transformers… how he loves the franchise, buys the toys and is looking forward to making Transformers movies! Yes, plural! Movies!
Seeing the video somehow makes it more real than reading Don Murphy’s message boards.
I picked up an iSight camera/mic for my Mac today, so if you people want to get ahold of me, there are several options available. First off, get the Internet telephony program called Skype. It is available for all sorts of platforms, so whatever OS you run it should work. My Skype username is tgourley, so search for me on there and we can do some cool voice chats. I also have a Skypein number, so people can call me on a regular phone and I can chat with you from the computer. I’m not going to post that number here, but I’ll send it out to my friends.
My AOL Instant Messenger name is webratta42. If I’m online and you want to video chat, hey why not?
Scott McCloud has written a very intelligent and thought-out piece on what file sharing is all about. He’s not just whining about wanting free stuff–instead he lays out alternatives that would benefit the creators of the works instead of some lame-brained corporate entities. I’m very impressed.
Heh, this is funny. According to this article, taking regular showers could pose a health risk and even result in permanent brain damage. So all those smart people you know are just good at covering up the fact that they don’t shower.
According to this USA Today story “Two teenagers were under arrest Sunday on suspicion of killing another teen for his iPod portable music player, police said.”
Now, the iPod is cool and all (I have two of them, the mini and a photo) but this is just plain crazy. For a device that costs about $300, these two kids decided it was worth the risk to throw away their lives and kill an innocent kid.
It boggles the mind.
