Fun With Words

August 7, 2007

The star of the TRANSFORMERS® movie is unleashed in its full, awesome glory with this meticulously rendered, movie-accurate sculpture inspired by 3-D turnarounds pulled straight from the film. Unremarkable detail makes this one must-have sculpture for your collection. (My emphasis)

Amazon.com: Transformers Movie Unleashed BumbleBee: Toys & Games

I don’t think that means what you think it means.

Flock Testing Feedback

June 11, 2007

Flock Testing Feedback

OMG that’s a lot of feedback for the newest version of Flock.  Feedback can be good, and this is feedback from people who want the product to succeed, which is great.  However, even with the conversation threading that Gmail offers, I can’t hope to add my thoughts to many of the threads.  I just don’t have the time.

I’ll have to use Gmail’s search capabilities to grep through the current emails to see if others have found the issues that I’ve seen.

"Undo Close Tab” Firefox/Flock Shortcut

May 30, 2007

Have you used Firefox 2.x or Flock 0.9? Have you noticed the Undo Close Tab functionality? Have you always felt like you were wasting time right-clicking on a tab and selecting the Undo Close Tab option? Have you wondered if there was a better way? Should I write a declarative statement?

No more questions. Only answers:

  • Ctrl+T opens new tabs
  • Ctrl+Shift+T reopens closed tabs

This is by far my favorite keyboard shortcut recently. My Internet browsing is very tab-oriented, so discovering this shortcut really made my day.

What are your favorite shortcut?

On The Road With Cindy & Jeff | Are You Ready For Your Close Up?

May 2, 2007

Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth and Lawrence Fishburn are here [in Boston] working on a film called “21″.

On The Road With Cindy & Jeff | Are You Ready For Your Close Up?

Aha, that’s the movie I saw being filmed on the Mass Ave bridge.  I was sailboat racing (my first time racing!) that morning at Community Boating, and we were notified that we could not sail close to the bridge.  There was the occasional helicopter flyby, and some police boats in the water.

At a certain point in the afternoon, MIT, whose boathouse is situated much closer to the bridge, also had boats out racing.  The film crew either finished shooting, or MIT’s racing took place far enough away from the bridge.

Red Road (2006)

Red Road (2006)

Contrary to popular belief, Red Road is not about Massachusetts roads.  Check that photo out there, that’s not a Photoshop job.  I haven’t been up 495 since the accident, but I hear it’s washing off.

Save the Chearleader, Save the World

Dear NBC,

Please stop making awesome Heroes episodes and placing them online for free viewing. I need to be more productive when I get home from work.

That is all.
