» Just like last year I shaved my head into a mohawk. I plan to keep it that way until I need to visit a customer, at which point I'll shave it down and just be bald for the summer. Also, just like last year I setup the camera to take a photo every 2 seconds and built an HD animation from it, enjoy!

» List of UPnP AV media servers and clients. I've purchased a WD TV Live Streaming box that so far has played everything I've tossed on a memory stick but I'd like to do some network streaming too just to make my life easier.     #

» Tonal Adjustments in the Age of Lightroom 4. Informative.

How best to start adjusting an image? Since all six sliders in the Basic panel (from Exposure through Blacks) are now to some extent image-adaptive, the engineers at Adobe recommend adjusting these sliders in order, from the top down. They are designed to work this way, and this should usually give the best results.

» Stop Calling Girls Sluts

Guys guess what happens when you call a girl a slut? She becomes ashamed and embarrassed of her sexuality. Guess what happens then? Everyone gets less sex. How is that awesome? It is not. Fuck you.

» Salida Mountain Trails. I'm planning to get up there and mountain bike this summer.     #

» Shoot Your Own Google Earth-style Aerial Photos with the E382 Drone Kit. Six hundred bucks seems like a bargain for something like this, I would have thought it was in the thousands.     #

» LightPlot: A Robotic Arm That Creates Animated Light Paintings. Very cool.     #

» WiFi Pineapple Mark IV. Interesting. Fortunately my phone and laptop only have 2 networks that they auto-connect to and I'd notice right away if I was traveling and came across either of those names, but still a danger for say a hotel where that could easily be spoofed.     #

» Why Publishers Don't Like Apps. *I* don't like them because they lock you to the iPad, which is over-priced and locked-down too much for my tastes.     #

» Free Kindle Books. While the headline sounds like a scam it's actually a website that scrapes Amazon.com and compiles a single page of the top free books for the Kindle. And then a quick trip through Calibre and they can be read on anything, not just the Kindle...     #

Rangers from the U.S. Forest Service are debating ways to warn hikers that frozen cows may have contaminated a popular hot springs before they were chopped up and removed last week.

» DNS in Ubuntu 12.04. I just did the distribution upgrade and got hung up with this since I run a static IP on my home server. I understand why they did it and don't have an issue, but it would have been nice if the upgrade scripts had noticed what was going on, if I didn't have a separate laptop to research the issue I might have been hosed.     #

» A couple of things about the Guadalajara Mexico airport - the big bank of power plugs you see between the Chili's and the Johnny Rockets? Those have no actual power to them. Also, while the Infinity Movil wireless network will prompt you to pay or login this can be bypassed by simply using SSL, or a VPN, or a proxy server (ssh is wide open on many ports, I was able to connect to my home desktop no problem with NX Client.) The power sucks (but the Starbucks I am at has a working outlet) but the wifi is nice if you have the means to work it.     #

» Well that's handy: Pill Identifier. I keep a small travel bottle in my laptop bag (with all the international travel I do it's damn handy). Usually it just has ibuprofin in it but I found a small pill I wasn't sure of at the bottom. Turns out it's "Zolpidem tartrate" (generic Ambien.) Better than me just taking it and hoping for the best...     #
