Upcycle



Apparently sowing discarded Oreo wrappers together will save the world. No really, the processes to do it will scale and all you really need are ideas and brands. Think The Gods Must Be Crazy except on a massive world-wide scale.

Interix > Cygwin

The only reason you'd want to use Cygwin is if you were on a Windows platform that doesn't support Interix (95/95/Me, Vista Starter, Home or Business), and even in those cases you might want to use MinGW instead of Cygwin.

Why?

When you need to make either Interix or Cygwin do something substantial e.g. compiling a large application from source or wrapping C libraries, it's painful in both cases. But, when you're done, the Cygwin version will still lock and freeze and throw up on you, the Interix version will actually work.

IDEA: Create a parody of NPR human interest shows

For some ass-kissing-related reasons, I listened to episodes of Here and Now, and Spark. For anyone who believes that NPR adds some kind of diversity to the radio dial (or even the better funded Canadian counterpart), listen to this shit. Tell me if you can actually tell these fucking shows apart.

If I was the This American Life creator I would have taken some kind of patent out 20 years ago--on female radio hosts who smack their lips in to the mic like they just drank a cup of vegetable oil, begin every segment with some light-jazz bumper, and interview almost exclusively people with PhDs--and just sue the shit out of everyone who copied my format.

Someone needs to create a show somewhere in between NewsRadio, Phil Hendrie, and the Daily Show that's just bullshit in this format that's so cliche and lame that hopefully the brain-dead ex-hippies sucking down NPR like their bottled frappuccinos wake. the. fuck. up.

Good radio is not about some late-30's to mid-40's condescending bitch talking to people in a soft voice while musing over glib bullshit.

If anyone reading this listens to any of this shit of your own free-will--by which I mean not getting your dick sucked, or getting paid because of it--you are the dead-weight of human waste.

Everybody, listen to me: go get your dick sucked and get paid, or go suck dick and get paid, or find a way to get your dick sucked and get paid without listening to NPR.

Suck a dick.

That is all.

EDIT: Okay, NPR does somethings well (e.g. News, Car Talk, RadioLab) but you can't tell me that there's any more difference in their human interest shows than there is between cheeseburgers at McDonald's.

"Schizophrenia?" Rose asked. "Isn't that caused by a faulty diet?"

Vinod Khosla: driving a Prius really doesn't make much of a difference



Vinod is speaking at Google about various topics related to technology, energy and environmentalism. But, it is mostly about evaluating promising technologies in terms of how well they scale.


Everyone watch this....


... otherwise you'll hear me use the term "black swan" from here on out and have no idea what I'm talking about.

“So I'm driving a 2009 Honda Fit(?) not as a ___. I'm actually I'm in the car now and it's parked and I was just driving it. I got to tell you the German in me really loves this car. Not that it's a German car but it's like this whole car is sort of design for efficiency and it makes me so happy and when you're driving there's a little display on the dash board that's show you what miles per gal you're getting right. So you know it goes from 80 to 0 if you're not accelerating you get about 80mi per gal alright. So if you're in a highway going down a hill or something like that. So the entire time I'm sitting here and I'm trying to optimize you know my my miles per gal while I'm driving and it's just so efficient. Everything in here is just so efficient and I never thought I you know I never thought that efficient would would arouse me in the way that it has but it does. I'm very I'm aroused by this car in in ways that I was never been aroused by a car before. And I may make out with it later if you you see someone in a parking lot just you know looking at a car up and down. A Honda a Honda Fit(?) a 2009 Honda Fit(?) then that's gonna be me and you know just for the just for the effect I may do it with the German accent. My my prowl(?) prowl(?) Honda 2009 ___ and then I gonna put my dick(?) on the tell pipe and it's gonna be a great”

“The world is like a ride at an amusement park and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and around and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud. And it's fun. . . for a while.

Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question. "Is this real or is this just a ride?"

And other people have remembered and they come back to us and say "don't worry and don't be afraid ever because this is just a ride." And we kill those people.

"Shut him up. Got a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This has to be real."

It's just a ride. But we always kill those guys who try to tell us that. Do you ever notice? Let the deamons run amok? But it doesn't matter because it's just a ride and we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money but a choice. Right now. Between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see us all as one.

Here's what we can do to change the world to a better ride right now. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defense each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world. Which it would many times over not one human being excluded. And we can explore space together both inner and outer forever in peace.”

Swine Flu: I'm reminded of what Larry Brilliant said in 2006

I wrote about Larry Brilliant's lecture on Avian Flu back in 2006. I recommend everyone watch it again. Larry Brilliant is a medical doctor and runs Google.Org, Google's non-profit arm.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4945574855615972381

For those of you who won't follow the first link, or watch the video, here's some points back I took from it back in 2006, during the Avian Flu panic, I'd imagine most it it applies to Swine Flu, but YMMV.
  • Lipitor and other cholesterol lowering drugs seem to lower the chance the you'll die from Avian Flu.
  • Get a Penumonia vaccine. Penumonia is the most common cause of death in influenza cases.
  • Consider the benefits of getting AIDS. Cytokine storm diseases, like swine flu, work by turning your immune system against you. This would cause healthy young people to die more than old people or people with otherwise compromised immune systems. Of course, not all influenza is a cytokine storm.
  • Some Avian Flu strains have been sensitive to Amantadine, an all ready available, over-the-counter, and cheap anti-viral. In other cases Relenza, and Tamiflu might work.
  • fluwikie.com is pretty cool, though not mentioned in the presentation

IDEA: Mash-up a Contact Log application with call "tracing" websites

Debt collection agencies, to get you on the phone, will often call from several different numbers, many of which are not associated with the location the calls originated from. If you call them back, you'll get a message that the party cannot be reached, or silence, or something equally useless.

If you're trying to keep track of all the creditors contacting you from say numbers printed on your phone bill, or your "Missed Calls" on your cell, this can make it difficult because calling the numbers back doesn't tell you which agency contacted you. Fortunately, there are sites like whocalled.us, 800notes.com, whyrucalling.com and trapcall.com for people to help each other associate a number with an agency.

If you're in a situation where you want to keep a track of all of these calls for legal purposes, you want to make a Contact Log, and you want it to be accurate. This application would take CSV files (or information entered on a form, or what have you) and query the collaborative databases then generate reports populating the bogus numbers with information on the collection agencies.

The death of Seeqpod

When I found it on December 6th, 2007, I knew it wouldn't last. What is that? 15 months and 18 days? Why do Gregorian calendars make math so difficult?

Anyway, now it seems a lawsuit has forced the company in to bankruptcy and their site is down. Probably forever.
