Murals and the beginning of the Universe
This one's a bit complicated, so here we go:
I started dating the daughter of the artist who did this. Well I wanted to know more about MINOS, and ended up learning about Fermi and anti-matter Weird, huh? |

I've run a few weblogs in my time, but I invariably give them up after a while. I started a new one a few weeks ago that I think will last longer, however.
The unique thing about it is this: I'm a fairly liberal kind of guy (if you couldn't tell from my posting here), and I'm starting a graduate program in what essentially is International Relations. Almost all of the professors find themselves on the conservative side of the scale. So I'd like to track my intellectual progress, and provide a recording of how my thoughts grow and the direction they take. So anyway, the site is kind of sparse at the moment. I'll have time to update the design after the end of the quarter. You can find the link here. I'd appreciate any commments or views. |
hermit, cant comment on the content because im an idiot, but i do like the design. ill bookmark it and do some reading, maybe ill learn a thing or two. :)

You OSX folks who can't run gKrellm (actually, maybe you *can* run gKrellem if you install X, I dunno) might be interested in iPulse , it's freeware and compresses a mulitidimesional picture of your system state into only a tiny bit or real estate on the screen. http://www.craphound.com/images/ipulse.jpg |

OK, they can afford it, but did this company get screwed, or what?!!! That's what we call eekommerce. :eek: |
Re Canadian Tire: after 6 years in the biz I have seen worse atrocities done more expensively, most notably the USPS site circa 1998. But in 2002 we're supposed to be PAST this kind of problem.
Looks like a committee design combined with a "religious" IT decision to make the entire thing jsp. Add a pinch of clueless demanding upper management. And I bet the whole thing sat around for a while, as various VPs put their two cents in. "My Canadian Tire"? That's so 2000. |
Crappy Tire
Canadian Tire officially not 'Crappy'
The World Intellectual Property Organization has ruled that Canadian Tire Corporation has no legal right to control "crappytire.com" -- the Internet domain name registered to Mick McFadden of London, Ontario. In its March 16, 2001 complaint to WIPO, Canadian Tire claimed that it is "frequently colloquially referred to or known as 'Crappy Tire' by the public." The corporation argued that its trademarks should be extended to include the phrase because its stores are "closely associated" with the slang expression. It also charged that McFadden used his site "to make rude, untrue and libellous statements about Canadian Tire." The corporation's claim hinged on the idea that crappytire.com is "confusingly similar" to its trademarks. Canadian Tire noted that Internet searches for "Canadian crappy tire" result in many references to the corporation. McFadden's response to Canadian Tire's complaint argued that the corporation has not trademarked the offending phrase. "Since when is the word 'Canadian' interchangeable with or similar to 'crappy'?" he asked. Fun facts from the Canadian Tire WIPO complaint: 90% of adult Canadians shop at Canadian Tire at least twice each year. 40% of adult Canadians shop there each week. 85% of the Canadian population lives within a 15 minute drive of a Canadian Tire store. |

Of course,. it *could* have been executed in ASP or .NET...then it would be a *proprietary* version of the same design, and immune to being ported to a more economical server base; if the archetects of this site have resisted using Weblogic-proprietary APIs, they can migrate pretty easily to another app server, or even mix app servers from different providers to carry this sites workload. The coolness of this would be the ability to examine which app server platform gives them the best performance on a live workload. At least it continues to work if you refuse cookies. Many ASP-based shopping carts don't. The site itself doesn't really look to me like a very *bad* design, although it does have that "circus poster" feel that most big ecommerce sites have Every department in the company is entitled a slice of the incoming eyeballs. They tell the stockholders that this is "synergies" and "economies of scale". ;-) Speaking of religion, one wonders how much of the 17 mil went to making the site bilingual. |

One more for the pile:
<a href="http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/pickover/esp.html">Clifford Pickover's ESP Experiment</a> There is a logical explanation for the fact that this experiment succeeds in removing your card EVERY time -- an explanation that does not involve ESP, supernatural forces or psychic mumbo-jumbo. See how long it takes you to figure it out -- took me about ten minutes... |

found via metafilter comments. really great stuff. i especially like this one. ~james |
I've seen that before, and I picked up on it pretty quickly, about five minutes of staring at the cards thinking, "What the hell am I missing?"
edit: weird, I just noticed I broke a hundred posts. huh. |

This could probably go under Politics, but since it's a Flash app, I'll link it <a href="http://www.idleworm.com/nws/2002/11/iraq2.shtml">here</a>.

I struggled with where to place this and ultimately decided it really was a cool site of the day.
Once you read the article it links directly to (guys, you have to tell me, does that really work?) wander around it a little bit. Many of those other pieces are hysterical, or at least thought provoking. I particularly liked Stoop and Scoop Icons and How MBAs Wrecked the Internet. |
ive never seen the urinal fly before, but i guarantee that if i did, i would aim for it. instinct would draw me there in the first place, and marvel at the brilliant simplicity would keep me there.
~james |
Now that you know what they're up to though, you'd pee right on the wall, wouldn't yah?
|
Personally, I would know what they were up to as soon as I laid eyes on the bug. Would I aim for it? T'wouldn't matter...I can pee in two directions at once, one being straight down and the other is personal choice.
Upshot? I generally do it girl-style. Brian |
I always thought you were special, Brian ...

dr seuss went to war. i had always assumed seuss was exclusively a childrens author, until my aunt showed me a book full of his art. i guess its just facsinating to see another side to an author i grew up with.

Who doesn't like Terry Tate, Office Linebacker? I loved this ad. And this is the uncut version from Reebok. I guess it could have gone under the sports link, but it fits here as well.
