Jen and Seth made me the best birthday cake I’ve ever received last night. Yes, yesterday was my birthday, and it was largely uneventful but this made the whole night great.

From the description:
In Radiohead’s new video for “House of Cards”, no cameras or lights were used. Instead, 3D plotting technologies collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects. The video was created entirely with visualizations of that data.
Be sure to check out the interactive manipulator hosted at Google.
Also, here is a behind the scenes video if you’d like to learn more.

There there blog, I know I’ve neglected you. I’ve been super busy and … yes, yes ok I know excuses won’t cut it here. You’re pissed. I’m sorry.
Here is a peace offering instead: My favorite (and default) video player for OS X, NicePlayer, has finally been updated in the form of a preview build. This preview includes the return of remote control support, something which has been broken since 10.5 originally came out. Yes, that is quite a long time now and yes, I did wonder up until the moment I found this preview build if the application was dead in the water.
Enjoy!

When I originally set this site up I used fantastico, a frontend that installs a lot of commonly used web software. I used this method mostly because I wanted to see how well fantastico worked and also to glean a little insight into a regular customer’s experience.
Sadly fantastico is not always kept regularly up to date, and I grew tired of waiting for them to push out the WordPress 2.5.1 update. I decided to reinstall the site using a manual WordPress installation method.
Please hang in there while I get everything back to normal

I don’t know if it’s the music or the sight of dolphins wanting to cuddle with a miniature robotic dinosaur, but this video of Pleo at a SeaWorld is strangely mesmerizing…

Things this funny just don’t happen in Lansing all that often, especially at my all time favorite pet store.
On Thursday afternoon security cameras at Preuss Animal House, in Lansing’s Old Town, recorded what store officials believe was a customer reaching into a glass case, withdrawing a snake, and stuffing it where the sun doesn’t shine.
