A couple of people have asked me what the unit for the icosa-dodecahedron pictured here looks like. It looks like this:

I said in the comments of that post that it was a strip of three triangles; obviously I was wrong. It’s four trianges with flaps on the ends. The mountain fold at the center of [...]

I recently wiped the hard drive on my Lenovo X60 tablet and restored its original contents, reverting from Vista to Windows XP in the process. It wasn’t so much that I didn’t like Vista. There are a lot of nice things about it, including the “Aero” look (yes, I like it), the numerous improvements to [...]

System 7 is one of my long-time favorite music groups. I just checked their website to see whether there was any news about a new release. They’re putting out a new CD in January and there’s an animation up on YouTube set to an “edit” of one of the new tracks:

Well, sort of. Chris just pointed this out to me. It’s sort of a mass outsourcing agency created by Amazon, in which humans are organized like computers to solve problems that computers aren’t good at. I’m sure there are applications for this that are more practical than this project but, on the other hand, [...]

The December issue of Computer Music magazine has an almost embarassingly glowing review of Dr. Device. They gave it a full 10/10 score and all three of their CM badge awards for Performance, Value for Money, and Innovation.

It finally snowed here on the day before Thanksgiving. In my recollection this is the latest that we’ve had snow in Boulder in the last 20-some years.

Here’s a dismaying article. It seems that more than half of the electronic articles taken to recycling centers in the U.S. end up being shipped overseas, where the goods are frequently dismantled in manners dangerous to the individuals involved and hazardous to the environment as a whole. In other words, we’re just exporting the whole [...]

Okay, here’s my plan for this site. I’m going to abandon dynamically generated content altogether and go old-school. The site will have more or less the same stuff as now (blog entries, categories, etc.) but will be built with just plain ol’ HTML. I’ll build it on local machines and then sync it to the [...]

I guess this is the warning. This site has been hacked, once again. I believe that I have fixed the problem but, in the course of researching the problem and updating WordPress, the software on which the site is based, the update process f—ed things up and damaged the database that contains the content for [...]
