  • How to end procrastination

    22 Nov 2009 | 12:47 pm
    Innovation brings distraction, especially when nearly everything can be accessed via a mobile phone. Many would call Twitter one of their biggest time sucks, but I *cough* wouldn't. Procrastination creeps up like a setting sun. The calming dusk lures -- no, seduces our minds and attention to focus on the beauty of the orange hued skies. We allow ourselves permission to be distracted for what we justify as "a brief moment." And, as we watch the sun kiss the horizon to welcome in nightfall, we suddenly realize that we're in the dark, figuratively that is with respect to the project that we…

  • A new study sheds light on the origins of language

    22 Nov 2009 | 11:59 am
    According to new research funded by the national Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), your ability to make sense of Groucho’s words and Harpo’s pantomines in an old Marx Brothers movie takes place in the same regions in your brain. Researchers have shown that the brain regions that have long been recognized as a centre in which spoken or written words are decoded are also important in interpretting wordless gestures. This suggests that these brain regions may play a much broader role in the interpretation of symbols than previously thought. For this…

  • The Eiger Sanction

    22 Nov 2009 | 11:11 am
    This movie is fairly close to the book, Clint Eastwood directs and stars in this enjoyable, though at times cheesy, action-thriller, which a lot of the time feels like a James Bond film. The fact that Eastwood's character is a spy and he attracts many beautiful women are just a few of the points relating it to Bond. The positive points of the film are it has some of the best mountain climbing action sequences ever filmed. Also, Eastwood is his usual tough guy self which is always fun to watch.

Yesterday, Dakota Fanning appeared on Ellen Degeneres' talk show for something like the fifth time in the last 8 years.  She was there to talk about her role in Twilight: New Moon, as villainous vampire Jane.  It's the most grown-up any of us have seen her yet, but us old fogies might remember when she was nothing but a pocket-sized tot, albeit an extraordinarily talented and preternaturally mature one.

  • The Mazda Miata turned 20 years old. A game changer. Even now, it's one of the best cars on the road

    19 Nov 2009 | 1:37 pm
    The Miata started life as a concept born in Mazda's California design center by North Americans Bob Hall (formerly of Motor Trend magazine) and Mark Jordan. It was largely a ground-up design with few components shared with other Mazda models. The target design specifications were clear and simple: make it as compact and light as possible with room for two adults to sit comfortably, make it handle as tightly as possible, and have a responsive and reasonably stout powerplant. I guess the whole "reliable and functional" thing was just assumed. Several options were tried out, including a…

    via blog.posterous.com A few years ago I was chatting with some folks at Apple and I told them I wanted iPhoto to sync with a website, my online photo gallery. I didn't like publishing my photos online manually. It's 2009 and this still isn't possible. I still have to do some set of curation/export/attach/send steps to get my photos online. It's a pain. How cool would it be if my iPhoto/Aperture was always online? Anytime I make changes on the desktop (add/remove photos, add captions, etc), it would just sync with the web. At least that's how it works on my iPhone now. Step 1, create albums.

  • If you had five dollars and two hours, what would you do to make as much money as possible?

    31 Oct 2009 | 3:15 pm
    via entrepreneur.venturebeat.com This challenge was presented to a group of students at the Design Institute at Stanford. Each group took a different approach as to how they would use the $5 to make even more. The teams who did the best were the ones who didn't use the $5 at all! That seed money was actually a limitation on what they would have been able to achieve. The more a team challenged the assumptions of the project, the better they did. And even in the relatively short time period of 2 hours, some teams iterated on their idea to maximize their return.   When I was 11 years old, I…

  • On designer humility

    5 Nov 2009 | 5:20 pm
    The latest much ado about nothing on the Internet: Blogger Joshua Blankenship has written a pot-calling-the-kettle-black diatribe against Dustin Curtis's apparent lack of humility in criticizing American Airlines. He seems to think that Dustin should be a little more humble in his criticisms of such a large, immovable corporation whose complexity seemingly exceeds that of a very good designer. I call bullshit. A humble designer is one who affects no change indeed. Designers should be less humble. When engineers or business guys or management or *anyone* makes a product lousier, they should…

"[Michael] Asher took Duchamp one step further. Art is not art because it is signed by an artist or shown in a museum or any other 'institutional' site. Art is art when it exists for discourses and practices that recognize it as art, value and evaluate it as art, and consume it as art, whether as object, gesture, representation or only idea."

    The end shot of this piece has requires that our main character stops walking and at that moment, he see's himself walk into frame. The main character faces himself and then an action ensues. This would be a very easy thing to accomplish if the final shot was locked off on a tripod but because this piece is shot on a steadicam, the final shot actually is a slow drifting shot, that being because it is virtually impossible for the steadicam to stay completely motionless. so what this means is I have to do several things in order to compile this last shot.

Most bike shops open at 10 or 11) I don't keep a bike stand at home which makes adjusting the deraileuer a PIA, though. I ended up using a broom handle to suspend my bike between our countertop and Sanny's bike. It was a little uncomfortable but not horrible.

Basically, the dude is the same offline as he is online and he's a'ight. But I still won't click on his Twitpic links without pausing and mentally preparing myself first. Hahaha.

    This is the Boulder Bike Sory. I saw this video a few days ago and couldn't help reflecting on why it means a lot to me.Here it is in brief -- my bike has been the best investment I have made since moving to Colorado. There's no question about it. Facts first: I have lost approximately 25 pounds / 12 kgs within 4 months of moving here (I bought my bike 10 days after landing). Now, anyone who knows me well enough, will know that that's significant. I had been gaining weight continuously for over 3 years, so this is definitely a big thing for me. Heck, when I went rock-climbing, I was shocked I…

    One observation set me back. There are lots of people who wanted to do one thing but then got "practical" and did something else "first." The idea was that they'd be successful and sock away money doing the practical thing, and after that they could go back to the thing they loved. Bronson was sure that, among the hundreds of people that he interviewed, someone would actually have been successful with this strategy. It sounds so reasonable, after all. But he encountered exactly zero people who pulled it off. Everyone who tried got sucked into the "practical" career and were never able to…

  • Designing Disney - John Hench

    31 Oct 2009 | 8:32 am
    Happy Halloween! John Hench was (and still is) a legend in the world of Disney Imagineering. He was the Renaissance Imagineer. His book provides deep insights into the world of Disney design. Of all of the Imagineering books that I have, Hench's is the most eloquently written, treating the subject as seriously (and deservedly) as one would discuss modernist architecture. One can draw many lessons from this book and apply them to event design and experience design. Regardless of the current state of the Magic Kingdom, the design principles behind Imagineering are still magical. Permalink |…

    Lately I've been thinking about decision theory. How do we make decisions? What influences them? How can we make better decisions? I picked up Mauboussin's book to help shed some light on the subject. He does so by helping the reader identify the salient mistakes people make while making decisions. Some of these mistakes include our tendency to rely upon experts uncritically, how we subconsciously allow context to affect our decisions, and how we try to understand complex systems by studying their parts. Throughout the book, he illustrates these mistakes with entertaining stories. One key…

Companies have only gotten larger, more global, and more complex, since its writing.

Personal mastery isn't just about mastering skills; it's about mastering…

Often times, you'll have to inspect all of the parameters passed to the third-party, make sure they're all there, not malformed, located in the appropriate place, etc.. You could monkey-patch your code to spit these parameters out, but this is also painful. Not only do you have to write more code, but often times the parameters are being modified by some other piece of code after you've logged. What would be nice is a way to spit out the headers on their way out the door over the wire. That way, you're can see what the third-party sees. Found…

    22 Nov 2009 | 9:08 am
    We serve housemade pickles in our restaurant as one of the antipasti. We pickle with Champagne vinegar. As a cheaper alternative, I chose white wine vinegar to pickle on my own. The formula for pickling is more or less the same...2 parts of vinegar, 1 part of water, with 1 to 1 ratio of salt and sugar. To boost the flavor, I add my own version of spice blend, which consists of cinnamon, star anise, cloves, black peppercorn, allspice, coriander seeds, and garlic (ok...the last item is not a type of spice). I brought the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt to boil, and then poured the liquid over…

The prep list was indeed daunting yesterday...which included making garganelli, gnocchi, and pizza (our special thin crust pizza), roasting squash, blanching Brussels sprouts, making vegetables stock, and chopping vegetables. I spent nearly 6 hours preping for the above items while going through orders of food during…

  • Wraps and Rolls

    Wraps and Rolls and excellent place for wraps I went there after seeing so many other people getting wraps from here and I kept on telling myself I want to try it. I ordered the Chinese Chicken Salad wrap and the Salmon wrap and my wife ordered the Spinach and Artichoke quesadilla and the crab with creamy wasabi dressing. I was so excited I forgot to take a picture and gobbled down my Chinese Chicken salad wrap heh. So the picture I have is the Spinach and Artichoke quesadilla which by the way was really good I got a piece from my wife. The Wrap was just like getting a Spinach and Artichoke…

  • The Mandalay - Plate Lunch

    16 Oct 2009 | 4:33 pm
    Being a regular plate lunch kinda guy I usually pass by "The Mandalay" but I noticed the other day that they had Plate Lunches so I had to go now :-). I went in and scanned the fare and selected Chow Fun, Sweet Sour Fish and Satay Beef not my normal fare but I felt adventurous and tired of eating the same old things. I decided to forgo eating there as they only had two tables right in front of the counter and strolled a block to Iolani Palace grounds where since it being a Friday I get the added bonus of hearing the Royal Hawaiian Band oh my god Flashback! to the days I was at UHM…

  • The history of the middle finger

    18 Nov 2009 | 9:40 am
    The history of the middle finger I never knew this before, and now that I know it, I feel compelled to send it on to my more intelligent friends in the hope that they, too, will feel edified. Isn't history more fun when you know something about it? Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be incapable of fighting in the future. This famous English longbow was made…

  • Top 10 Traits of Highly Successful People

    14 Nov 2009 | 8:24 am
    We have all read about people who are successful briefly.  They win a gold medal, make a fortune, or star in one great movie and then disappear. Or, there are those like Marilyn Monroe who achieve extraordinary success, at the cost of their own lives. These examples do not inspire me! My focus and fascination is with people who seem to do well in many areas of life, and do it over and over through a lifetime. In entertainment, I think of Paul Newman and Bill Cosby. In business, I think of Ben and Jerry (the ice cream moguls), and a local hardware store owner who is famous for the money…

  • Obama Won Hearts Holding His Own Umbrella

    17 Nov 2009 | 6:59 am
    President Barack Obama won the hearts and minds of the Chinese people with a simple gesture of carrying his own umbrella. Mr. Obama held the umbrella firmly in his left hand, as he stepped off Air Force One on arrival in Shanghai on November 15, 2009. Ellen Zhu, writer at The Wall Street Journal, wrote that in a country where officials often have flunkeys to hold their umbrellas, the image of a U.S. president keeping his own head dry was poignant Chinese media captured the moment. The fact that Chinese officials do not carry their own umbrellas has attracted criticism from the Chinese public,…

  • Denver Couple Reap Success With 'Precious'

    16 Nov 2009 | 6:40 am
    Precious, a movie about an obese black teen growing up in an abusive Harlem household, was able to move forward by a wealthy Denver couple new to the film business, Sarah Siegel-Magness and her husband, Gary Magness, who invested $12 million in the film. Ms. Siegel-Magness runs her own clothing company called So Low. Her parents started the tea company Celestial Seasonings. Finding individual investors like the Magnesses during a time when Hollywood studios and investors are tight with money is key. It is one of the only ways that gritty, independent films like "Precious" ever get made.

    BAGHDAD - It seems that the Brett Favre-Green Bay Packers saga is such a worldwide phenomenon that it's being used by detainees in American military camps. According to a military official, detainees at a Wisconsin National Guard camp in Iraq are using Brett Favre as a manner of getting at the guard troops there. "They know Favre by name," said First Lieutenant Tim Boehnen, who is from New Richmond, Wis.  "One of the big words they know now is shenanigan.  They'll constantly talk about 'Favre shenanigans,' 'He's so good for the Vikings,' and 'The Packers have got…

    MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A Chicago college student who found a duffel bag containing more than $10,000 in cash decided to call the police -- after consulting her mother. The 22-year-old woman was in Madison last weekend for a wedding. She and a cousin shared a cab ride from the reception back to her hotel, and he helped carry her bags from the cab to her room. When she woke up the next morning, she found a duffel bag among her things. Turns out her cousin carried it in from the cab, thinking it was hers. And it was stuffed with cash. After checking with mom, the woman called police. They thought…
