The amazing napper!The amazing napper!The amazing napper! 04/13/2004 08:49 AM Since last Monday -- no not yesterday, Monday April 5th -- I have had a nap every afternoon lasting in duration from one to over two hours! That's eight straight days of napping, and frankly I'm about done with all the tiredness. I'm ready to get back to the business of living.

Apple I: the Mac is amazingApple I: the Mac is amazing 01/07/2004 02:43 PM So months after wondering what this integrated "Rip, Mix, Burn" technology in OS X is all about, I finally got around to making a movie -- Mr. Willem's First Christmas. It was astonishingly easy to make. It took a couple hours of shooting with a Sony DV Cam, and then a couple hours editing. Sound directly integrates with iTunes. Photos directly integrate with iPhoto. And the result directly integrates with iDVD. All that's missing is a simple way to integrate Creative Commons licenses, the way, e.g., MT does, and Adobe will (as announced at our party, at which the latest cool Flash! was shown as well).

Recently a documentary was made of him and now he has his own web site which features a small sampling of his story board work. For some other claymation samples (not by Bruce Bickford), try here.

There's no information about how they were obtained, but they are pretty striking. I imagine they must have been taken with one of the new ultrasound techniques (which are apparently called 4D imaging now). 20 Amazing Facts About20 Amazing Facts About 12/31/2004 12:54 PM 20 Amazing Facts About Read this and cry.

An amazing Year!An amazing Year! 06/06/2005 12:01 AM A Year ago I was laying in a hospital bed overseas having just come out of surgery that resulted in some stainless steel in my back with 4 wicked screws, and a severely damaged vertebrae. This would be the start of 13 days in the hospital, being fit with a full body cast, then graduating to a clam shell device that cost my insurance company 7k, and a heavily medicated patient for 8 weeks following the surgery. The day I quit my pain meds I went cold turkey on a Friday, told my Doctor on Tuesday after having a very agonizing 3 days, and nights. I obviously needed the pain meds early on, and having remembered laying on a hospital emergency room bed screaming for about the first 9 hours because the morphin they gave me didn't really help I was reluctant to go down that road again. I returned to work after 8 weeks off and within a week, was back in a Airplane on a 6 week business trip. My Doctor lost his mind but hey when it was time to get back to work you have to dive back in. The hardest part for the 3 months was the clam shell was not being able to pick my kid up. Finally in Feb of this year, I was given the green light to start light exercising. I podcasted my hospital experience and you can find the audio clip on this p ost you can take a look at the h ardware I carry around here. I am not complaining, as I am very blessed to be walking, and even though I live in a constant state of low level pain life is good. The wife had expected me to be rolled off the airplane as the initial prognosis was really bad and instead I walked off. One thing though because I flew back from the middle east only 15 days after being injured, I had to lay flat as much as possible so I enjoyed 1st class on 3 consecutive flights and enjoyed the food but had to decline the liquor, as the Roxicet and the Oxycodone I was prescribed was enough bad stuff in my blood stream. Thus having spent my 40th birthday in that hospital bed contemplating life, and having really looked forward to 2004 being in my rear view mirror the road ahead is a bright one and I am happy to be have faired as well as I have. So their may be times when I get excited about stuff and jump in with both feed but the reason for that is simple I was given a second chance to make profound changes in my families and people I come in contact withs life. My Wife, and Kids were champions and my extended family and friends prayed and took car of my wife when I was half a world away. Thank you for being here during the past year also. Todd..

Someone configured their mail server to check and see if inbound mail had a forged From address and, if it found that it was, bounce it back. Back to the forged from.

The most amazing salad in the worldThe most amazing salad in the world 08/01/2004 01:15 PM The other night, as Jason already reported, I had dinner at Craft. One of the highlights of the meal for me was the special heirloom tomato appetizer we ordered. It perfectly accentuated the range of intoxicating sweetness to be found in these delightful vegetables (fruits, whatever). As a fairly recent victor in Battle Tomato, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it, and found myself on Friday buying over a pound of heirloom tomatoes at the Greenmarket to attempt an at-home recreation of the dish. I'm happy to report that my Craft's Heirloom Tomato Salad was a huge success (coupled with fresh corn on the cob, it made for an all-Greenmarket-veggie dinner). So delightful was it that Saturday morning on my way home from a run, I stopped again at the Greenmarket to use my last few dollars to buy three more tomatoes. If you enjoy tomatoes and have access to nice ripe heirlooms, you couldn't ask for a better way to enjoy them.

Viewsonic TPCV1250S may not seem all that impressive at first, but
when you read its description on Amazon, you'll discover that this
demure Tablet PC holds inside a 10GHz Athlon and a 30,000GB hard disk.
Amazing! And if you read the reviews (and you should), you'll discover
that the desktop nuclear power supply isn't nearly as inconvenient as
you'd think. Some users find the warping of time and space around the
unit to be somewhat distracting, to say the least. Still, at only
$2,200, I'd say it's a bargain. Someone at Los Alamos must have a boat
mortgage to pay off.
