Oh good eye! I see now his recent stuff, but nothing from that era. Probably a score created just for it. Additional lol. Found a NYT link to the animation again, but it's in a obsolete format. (Requires Real Player)

Sorta unrelated to the article. But it linked to a NASA blog post on how the moon was formed. There's an embedded YouTube video from 2006 that has a computer simulation on how the moon was formed. Was NOT expecting a (drum'n'

To me it's basically a time vs money choice. As I get older, I'm less inclined to look into a DIY way to solve a technical problem. Even if it's "not too complex". When I was younger and had more time to kill (aka s

Yes this just looks like a marketing fad. Folks will change their names to promote something all the time. My guess is that a visual change every so often gets folks to notice. So kinda :shrug: from me ;)

I've come to see medication as just one part of the path I used to view taking prescribed drugs as a weakness, mostly due to how my mother viewed them as moral failing or something. I needed more God :/ They won't cure you bu

I got sucked into a cult-like church in my 20s. It's like a drug when you're feeling down in life. I'm more attuned to this level of bullshit now. But not everyone is which is why these tactics work. I'll still engage if

I was stoked to see the Necromancer poster used as the header image. Have a print of that in my house. Love the artist's style. https://citadel9.com/

The ID copy is actually pretty useful. Also it's a needed feature because these printers are targeted for small business and front desk workers (doctors, dentists, gyms, etc). I've seen them do this many times in past. They need a

Obsession with the tools is part of every interest/job/hobby! There's always someone who thinks: "I could make this better". Some of them even try to. Emphasis on try :)

Yeah I've been playing this game for the past two years with the MacBook Pro. Most work fine for a minute and then after a few months seems to get cranky and some input will start failing :/ Currently using that Anker hub mentione

Remind me of trying to get a dev environment setup at this one company 5 years ago. The list of troubleshooting items was longer than the list to get it running :D

There's several ways to have a blog path contain a separate setup from the marketing/product routes. One is to run a reverse proxy on the root domain to pull in separate routes for various services. https://github.com&#

Been reading Chuck Klosterman's book, But What If We're Wrong?. Which is partly that thought. The things that get remembered in the global consciousness are not always the people or things we'd expect. It's possible that

More content allows you to increase your rankings in search results. Especially if you become an "authority" for a topic. More views to content pages gets you a chance to promote your products better than search results alone.

Ah yeah I remember that trick. If you didn't hang up after talking to a friend, you'd could "haunt the line". Works best if someone is waiting to use the only phone in the house. Which is a phrase you don't hear tha

Yeah the "satanic panic" era was part of an attempt by churches groups to "take us back to an era of good people". Sound familiar? Church leaders get "worried" about their people. But really its about the loss

I've found <fieldset> to be immensely useful. For one it lets you create logical groupings and paired with legend give you a header type element. The main bonus is if you add the attribute "disabled" it will disable all

Yeah I'm having a hard time believing it wasn't about money. Maybe he was already decently wealthy and just wanted to role play as a successful creative director? For the folks who got tricked I feel bad for them. That's a ro

Requiring a MS Word format means they're using ATS software. Which parses it and pass/rejects it based on predefined phrases they're looking for. Kinda garbage system. To me that means their hiring process is extremely formal

Yeah I've been down this frustrating route before. Somehow your profile has gotten corrupt. You'll probably never know why. Has happened to me for Chrome and Firefox. Creating a new profile works. Or if you're feeling paranoi
