If we deny God His rightful place in the affairs of this nation should we expect Him to intervene when we need protection? Just what do you think has kept us safe from terrorist attacks since 9/11? It certainly wasn't the atheists. - Charlie DanielsNow we know who dropped the ball on Sept. 11, 2001.I'm still perplexed that people still think that way.. as if the United States is the magical chosen land of God ...

Venus and the crescent moon. See it tonight (early). What a great way to end the year! Venus and Luna pair up to make a very nice sight in the west for a few hours after sunset. This image in no way does the sight justice. Before you go out for a night of SAFE revelry see it for yourself if you can! Happy New Year to all!

The other day I came across yet another announcement for a mobile phone with haptic feedback. In this case is was Samsung’s Yepp YP-P3 Haptic PMP. The device supposedly has a haptic touchscreen, but I’m still not clear if it does anything more than vibrate. So why is it that no one has created a compelling demonstration of the value of a haptic devices through audio and visual channels? I understand the challenge that comes ...

The rise of Twitter has bloggers doing more than the usual amount of navel gazing. "Is blogging dead?," many wonder. The online trend-setting Jason Calacanis probably did as much as anyone to get this ball rolling when he announced his retirement as a blogger back in July. Others, if not exactly calling it quits, have noticed a dip in their blogging productivity.Regular readers of The TrueTalk Blog will undoubtedly have noticed a (blessedly welcome?) decrease ...

Quick reference guides provide one or two page condensed instructions. Formats for quick reference guides vary dramatically and can involve complex, multi-colored layouts, or just simple text callouts next to a few images. The other day I stopped by a local thrift store (Desert Industries) and picked up a few magazines for $.25 cents a piece, looking for attractive layouts that I could use as quick reference guide formats. The format most appealing to me ...

The first release (0.19.0) from the 0.19 branch of Hadoop Core was made on November 24. Many changes go into a release like this, and it can be difficult to get a feel for the more significant ones, even with the detailed Jira log, change log, and release notes. (There’s also JDiff documentation, which is a great way to see how the public API changed, via a JavaDoc-like interface.) This post gives a high-level feel ...

Aun cuando “nació con la idea de no competir con nadie“, Google Chrome es un navegador que ya ocupa poco más del 1% del mercado de navegadores en todo el mundo. Es ligero, rápido, y respeta de buena forma los estándares web (incluso más que la competencia).

Tom Armitage ya ha hecho varias pruebas de cruzar twitter con inteligencias artificiales, bots y demás para obtener cosas interesantes. Ahora lo que ha hecho es crear cuatro "usuarios" en twitter que se corresponden a los cuatro personajes del juego "Left 4 dead" ("mata a todos los zombies mientras te mueres de miedo por el camino" sería un buen resumen para los que no lo han jugado o visto). Los diálogos realmente están provocados por robots y no están pre-programados y puede verse el resultado aquí: http://bit.ly/ecR4 (lástima que no se pueda ordenar al revés, para leerse cronológicamente). Con algunos efectos de sonido podría servir perfectamente de guión para un programa de radio.Muchos podrían pensar que esto es una tontería, pero son este tipo de cosas las que no sólo saltan justo en el momento que alguien dice "Twitter está muriendo" sino que funcionan como base para cosas más interesantes en el futuro. Hace tiempo que a mi twitter me ha parecido un sitio perfecto para colocar aquellos mentados "agentes" de los que tanto se hablaba a principios de los 90 y lo más parecido a un Growl en internet (un notificador de eventos de los que quieres saber pero sería exagerado meter en un feed o leer por mail).Si fuera controlable (y, sobre todo, cobrable) hace tiempo que pienso que una versión twitter de mechanical turk o de 99designs o sitios similares podría existir y autosostenerse.

The router is one of the most versatile tools in the shop. Dovetails, mortises, tenons, decorative profiles, rabbets… the list goes on and on. While they are extremely useful hand held, mounting them into a table dramatically expands their usefulness. I discovered this when I first bought a little bench top Skil router table for my tiny fixed-base Craftsman router. Suddenly, I was cutting joints and profiles I never new were possible.

PISCES 賞とは、「年末はソフトの開発者さんもお休みモードで、書きたいネタがあまり出てこないんだよねぇ～」ということで2006年に安易に創設された、Tom が感動したソフト5作品に贈られる権威のかけらもない賞であります。 候補作は、その年に最初のバージョンがリリースされ、かつ PISCES で紹介したことがあるソフト。つまりは「来年もがんばって開発してくださいよ～」と開発者にエールを送るとともに、暗に「来年もアップデートして、うちのブログにネタを提供してね（ハート）」とプレッシャーをかける賞でもあります。 今年からやります、iPhone アプリケーション部門（笑）。 受賞作は選考委員の Tom 個人の独断と偏見によって選出され、受賞したソフトの開発者には Tom の熱いまなざしが贈呈されます。iPhone アプリケーション部門はありませんが、昨年の受賞作はこちら。 それでは、発表しましょう！ 続いての iPhone アプリケーション部門受賞作は・・・ Photogene 決して性能がよいとは言えない iPhone の内蔵カメラで撮った写真を、わざわざ Mac / PC に取り込んでフォトレタッチソフトで編集しなくても、簡単な編集なら iPhone 内で済ませられる便利さが受賞理由です。おめでとうございま～す（パチパチパチ）。 写真アルバムから選択した写真に、左側のバーからツールを選択して、トリミングや、反転、傾き補正、 シャープネス、色温度、彩度の調整などをおこなうことができます。 また、「記号」モードにすれば、ドラッグして任意の位置に吹き出しを入れることもでき、 「フレーム」モードにすれば、選択したフレームで写真を飾って、ちょっと面白いものに加工することができます。編集した画像は写真アルバムに保存できます。 本体を横に回転させると、ツールバーの位置も移動し、横長の写真の編集に便利です。 → Download はこちら
