Roger Brittain showed me this site and I have been playing with. It is pretty cool. He and I discussed the n-dimensional web and this is a great example of it. If only I could get my hands on the .fla file…

Lolita / Brinklow

Sunday, October 29th, 2006

Still working on my quest to read the Modern Library 100 best books in
English. I just finished reading “Lolita” by Vladamir Nabokov.
Incredible. I write about it here.

We just returned from a lovely weekend in Brinklow.

Vegetable Cake
With the exception of rhubarb, I’m not a very big fan of vegetable cakes and pies.

Sweden was great. The Scandinavian Open was fun…

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006

Sweden was great. The Scandinavian Open was fun, and I wasn’t too displeased with my performance in my first jiu-jitsu tournament. However, I think that the fights were too short. What can you really settle in five minutes? What importance is earning ‘points’, etc. Although I don’t want to be a hypocrite, if I had won, I probably wouldn’t be whinging about the system, but I didn’t tap out, I lost on points. I got a bronze medal. So I went to the tournament and made out with a giant penny on a string. It was fun, though.
It was a great experience and a lot of fun to meet with some people from the school on a more social occasion. Also, Scandinavia, or at least the parts that we saw, was great!
Saturday night we went out for some traditional Swedish food and Sunday we spent hopping on and off a boat tour of Copenhagen. The city was beautiful and the people that we spoke to were very nice.
On the boat there was an Asian man who kept standing up when I was about to take a picture. I should have just taken pictures of his pictures on the back of his camera. I’ll put up some pictures soon.
Everything seemed to function properly in Malmo and in Copenhagen. The buses and trains were on time. It was just really pleasant.

Photojojo » Project 365: How to Take a Photo a Day and See Your Life in a Whole New Way

I really like this idea, I think I am going to give it a shot.
Photojojo » Project 365: How to Take a Photo a Day and See Your Life in a Whole New Way. Look at it this way, if a picture is worth a thousand words, in a year you will have “written” over a quarter of a million of the little suckers.

Read on iPod.

Friday, October 20th, 2006

I just found that you can read .txt files on your iPod. That’s pretty
cool. You can only see 4K worth of text each file. Oh well, nice
try, I guess.

Bullet head.

Saturday, October 14th, 2006

I just found a piece of bullet in my face from when I was shot…
over six years ago!
I wonder if it is working it’s way out, or has always been there and
I just never noticed it.
