RIP Zack Allen

Was watching a little Babylon 5 this past month, since hearing about Jeff Conaway put into a coma. Sad that most of the obits don't discuss his Babylon 5 work. Zach the character and Jeff the actor coincided on personal issues.

The Heartometer

The heartometer! (Probably should go to 11).

Adynaton vs. Hyperbole

Hyperbole: "I had a ton of homework."

Adynaton [ah-DYN-ah-ton] (impossibilia): "когда рак на горе свистнет".

Bathos: "The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't."

Meiosis: using "the pond" for the Atlantic Ocean, "It's just a flesh wound".

Sinusoidal Jquery effects

Nice effects from weepy: jquery.path

Plural forms in i18n

When looking at plural forms, remember to take in account the different locales, not everyone has just two plural forms. Some have more, some less.

One api

GNU plural forms

We < 3 Atari and VCOs

Voltge Controlled Oscillators are what gives an analog synth its power.

Facebook Likelight

Looking back, the Facebook LikeLight is another arduino idea I've debated about doing for a while.

[Update on 05/11/2011] Unfortunately it appears that the lego store removed this design because of potential trademark issues. But don't expect them to notify your order is cancelled. I received no emails, no response to my inquries, and had to track it down myself in "My Gallery" to see the reasoning.

Lego Physical Model Indicators

This is an idea I've been playing around with for a while. Remember the stacked architecture diagram you are used to seeing on powerpoint presentations? What if you could make that diagram come alive - make a physical model that ties into the actual software to depict/describe, the flow of data, whether processes are operating or deficient?

Here is a lego prototype for these modules that could be hooked up to LEDs, an Arduino, and a network.
