Periodic Table of the Elements Table

Periodic Table of the Elements Table 12/03/2002 11:46 AM

This is probably one of, if not the coolest thing I have seen in a while. Theodore Gray, president of the company that makes Mathematica, is quite a cool dude, and his Periodic Table of the Elements Table is definitely the cat's ass of tables (if you know what i mean). While you are at it, check out his Sodium Party. I found this site from reading Ben Hammersley.com. Neat stuff.

Free baby photo trojan gets new moms to
sell baby-privacy 04/04/2005 06:24 AM
Cory Doctorow: A friend of mine worked at Procter and Gamble when they hit on the idea of giving away baskets of baby-related freebies to new moms. The idea was that a couple days after the family went home and they needed more diapers, mom would send dad out with the package from the freebies and say, "More like these, please." It's pretty clever, and I'm cool with it -- especially now that the whole thing is handled through brokers who take products from a variety of vendors, with input from maternity wards.

That, I think, is a pretty good way of marketing to new families. It doesn't compromise privacy, it gives them something they need, and it doesn't force them or lock them in. It's informative, useful, and respectful (provided that the marketing makes it clear that there's no medical endorsement of these products).

Compare that to this: a service that sneakily gets moms to agree to a "free baby photo" while they're signing all their necessary medical forms on the morning of their delivery. The company that takes the picture then sells your contact info to anyone who'll buy it.

On the morning of the delivery, the nurse hands a sheaf of forms to the mother-to-be. Buried within is a release form offering a free portrait of the new baby. Mom is wired to three different machines, having her pulse and blood pressure measured automatically while two others sensors detect uterine contractions and the baby’s heart rate and another chattering electromechanical behemoth plots a seismograph of both...

...[T]he photo enterprise is run by a third party, Growing Family. They’ll shoot a picture of your munchkin, in exchange for his or her name and birthdate and your full name and address...

Growing Family will use your information from time to time to promote additional products, services, rewards and special offers from Growing Family Network and its select Network Partners.

Another friend of mine had his baby daughter die from crib-death a few weeks after she was born. For years afterward, he and his wife got a steady stream of marketing materials, including ghastly "birthday cards" from marketers who'd bought the information that they'd had a baby, but never received the message that the baby had died. Needless to say, when their next baby was born, they never, ever bought products from the companies that ghoulishly continued to market to their dead daughter. Link (via A Whole Lotta Nothing)

Homebrew Mecha

Homebrew Mecha 12/24/2004 12:16 PM

If there is a sweeter pairing than the union of "backyard" and "mecha," then I don't want to know it (unless there is, then tell me right now). Deep in the Alaskan wilderness (okay, Anchorage) lives Carlos Owens, a 26-year-old steelworker who is working on his own hydraulic-motivated 18-foot mecha that he intends to unveil at a local race track, where it will hopefully spout fire and destroy cars—or maybe even fight another mecha. Owens has no idea when his project will be done (if ever), but you have to respect the work of a man who takes on the giant robot challenge even our government has been reticent to pursue.

Be sure to look at the photo gallery on CNet, too. There's a great shot of a 1960s power-suit that was being by GE. Imagine how totally wicked our society would be now if that would have panned out.

Fun with Homebrew Parts

Fun with Homebrew Parts 12/21/2003 12:05 PM
Every robot builder has been faced with needing (or wanting) parts that don't fit the budget. What's the solution? We try to improvise by building a homebrew replacement. Jack W. Crenshaw has written an amusing article in Embedded Systems magazine on this subject. He tells of an obsession in his college days to have (then unaffordable) seven-segment displays to play with. First he struggled to build a seven-segment display out of things like ice cube trays and light bulbs. He followed that up with a plan to build a circuit full of oscillators and counters that could generate the waveforms needed to turn his oscilliscope into a seven segment display.

after student wins PEN award 04/20/2004 07:25 AM
A creative-writing student in a prison in Connecticut won a $25,000 PEN American Center prize for the work she did in jail. The prison system responded by erasing all of the writing produced by her and her classmates.

15 women inmates lost up to five years of work when officials at the prison's school ordered all hard drives used for the class erased and its computer disks turned over...

Department of Correction Commissioner Theresa Lantz halted the writing program March 29 after learning that inmate Barbara Parsons Lane had won a $25,000 PEN American Center prize for her work on the 2003 book "Couldn't Keep It To Myself: Testimonies from our Imprisoned Sisters."

Ever wanted to create your own multilayer printed circuit boards? For most of us it's easier to send them out to a commercial boardhouse but it can be expensive. Open Collector recently included a link to a homebrew through-plating machine that can create 3 in x 3 in, 4 layer boards in about 4 hours for around $10 per board. The creator's website includes plenty of photos but is a little light on description. He offers to provide more construction details including schematics via email, however, if anyone else wants to try making their own multilayer boards.

Calling this mecha the 'Land Walker' might be a bit generous—it's more like the 'Land Shuffler.' Nevertheless, it's a heck of a project, and if I'm reading the stories right, it's mostly the work of one man. Too bad the guns are just for show. On the upside, there's a video, which makes it look a lot less photoshopped than in these pictures. (Thanks, Erick!)

TABLE vs CSS

TABLE vs CSS 05/27/2004 10:46 AM

Tables Vs. CSS - A Fight to the Death: So which is better — building page layouts using TABLE tags or using DIVs and CSS? This guy set out to find out. He built the same site both ways, and documented the experience and results.

On Table-based design... I've seen that design in every browser I can, under Linux, Windows and Macintosh platforms, and it looks practically the same. It's rock solid. Score one for the tables.

On CSS-based Design…Building the design in CSS felt much better. The immediacy of the changes and clarity of the code made me feel more in control of the process. [...] There are significant savings in bandwidth, too. [...] Keeping the layout information apart from the content also provides all sorts of benefits.

In the end, he picked CSS, although I was concerned with some of the browser rendering problems he displays. Like TABLEs or not, they are incredibly stable in the face of different browsers and platforms.

I can go either way. I use CSS for major page layout, but I've been known to slap things in table now and again — every situation is different, and you really need to use the method that gives you the results you want at that particular time.

I kept looking for a greater meaning or purpose to this Table Mirror with an integrated LCD panel in it (reflecting, you might say), but nope, that's pretty much the whole deal. And it looks like it's a TV-resolution screen, too, not a PC-resolution one, so I wouldn't expect to sneak in a rowdy round of Quicken while you're preening.
