The Day The Earth Stood Still

Did you know that the entire Internet crashed and all data was lost? The Onion caught it and has this coverage. Good thing I had a backup of my blog!

The only part of this joke that doesn’t work for me is they laid blame with a Mac OSX, and not Windows, user. Maybe blame rightly belongs to Klaatu!

Stephen Colbert’s Cast Party

It’s off! Colbert’s cast is gone from his formerly broken wrist. The eBay auction for the cast is at this link. And now that the cast is off, he’s going to take two weeks off.

Pratt Porch Project – Days 7, 8, 9

I’ll cheat and combine days. A couple of them were half-days with work that wouldn’t be obvious. Concrete footings for additional support were set, and now the beam and posts have been added, but I won’t bore you with that. The windows are in, and it’s looking a lot more like a room now.

Back In A Flash

This announcement from Adobe about Flash has implications for this blog. Very good ones! Video quality will go way up, and I should be able to save videos directly to a Flash-ready format, instead of having to go through a two-step process of saving as an AVI and converting to FLV. You can count on me jumping on this right away!
