I discovered a long time ago that I often get lyric ideas while listening to other songs, usually in the car. What I find interesting is that most of the time the ideas that pop into my head are completely unrelated to the lyrics of the son

One problem that I have with OCR is dealing with images of pages that are warped. I have some books that I would like to turn into electronic books, but not enough to justify setting up a book scanning rig (framework, two cameras, platen, e

I am fortunate in that my preferred name and my legal name are identical, and not the least bit exotic, so all the IT systems I've had to deal with over the years haven't felt the need to mangle my name. I also have several pseudo

When I read articles like this I wonder whether mesh networking (a la the One Laptop Per Child project) might help with improving the reach of WiFi in underserved areas? Could anyone with more knowledge of the topic explain why mesh network

There seem to be two versions of the Bandai Smartpet Robot Dog on Amazon, one in black for $157 (that's out of stock at the moment) and one in white for $60. I don't know why there's such a high price difference, especially s

My waifu merged my moustache with the shadow under my nose. That part is horrible; the rest is OK? I'm tempted to edit my photo some, then resubmit it to see if it turns out better. It looks like it could be quite amusing.

It's been my experience when going through old notes files that "dead" links are not always dead; sometimes they've just "changed their name". Sometimes a search on the title will find the website of interest a

A quick search on "artist Jenny Holzer" turns up plenty of results, including a comprehensive Wikipedia page, an Artsy page, and quite a few others. A quick look indicates that a fair amount of her work includes test based pieces,

I'm using org-mode's link functionality to maintain a simple multi-file text wiki. I'm not an org-mode wizard, so I'm probably not using all the functionality available in org-mode, but it's enough for me.

The people responsible are probably all dead by now, given that the crimes occurred 73 years ago. The people were acting on orders of their government, so the only recourse now would be payment to the families of the victims. The payments s
