A Workaround for Hulu on Boxee

Posted by Paul on Feb 22, 2009 in Update

Some enterprising Boxee hackers have created a plugin that lets you view Hulu on your Boxee install. Lifehacker has some great documentation. I knew it wouldn’t take long for this to happen. I predict two outcomes: Content providers will figure out that we’re going to get their content on Boxee one way or the other, or [...]

An Open Invitation

Posted by Paul on Sep 17, 2008 in Update

My 27th birthday is approaching, and I’ve decided to make it an open invitation to anyone who can read this. I’m planning a pub crawl for Saturday, September 27th, starting at American Bar & Grill on Plum Street in Lancaster around 8:30 and working my way down the bars on Plum to Quips or Lancaster [...]

Yes, I know I haven’t updated in a while. Here’s why: That’s my daughter, Ily. (It’s pronounced “eye-lee” goddammit.) Since she’s been born, my life has been really different. Awesome, but different.

Best. Concert. EVAR

Posted by Paul on Nov 16, 2007 in Update

On November 14, 2007, my life changed forever. I went to see Streetlight Manifesto at the Chameleon Club. The concert was awesome. I was right next to the stage, so I got the whole effect of being in the pit with the kiddies without having my eardrums blown out, since most of the sound went [...]

Spring as Speaker

Posted by Paul on Mar 29, 2007 in Update

I just came across this hard drive/spring speaker on the Make: blog. What it apparently does is use a hard drive controller to wiggle a spring to make sounds. It’s deceptively simple, but incredibly useful. In places like stadiums and airports, loudspeaker systems don’t really work well. Depending on your location they can be either [...]

Seen on the Internets #6

Posted by Paul on Mar 29, 2007 in Update

via Slashdot: I don’t live in California for a reason (not the least of which their four seasons are Wildfire, Mudslide, Earthquake, and Smog). I guess JC was wrong when he says the weather doesn’t change!

MySpace as Wal*Mart

Posted by Paul on Mar 29, 2007 in Update

In the latest episode of The Merlin Show, Peter Hughes from the band The Mountain Goats said something I thought was pretty accurate: MySpace is the Wal*Mart of social networking sites. Anybody who knows anything about web apps can appreciate that.

Seen on the Internets #5

Posted by Paul on Mar 25, 2007 in Update

There was a discussion on Slashdot about Vista and how it’s like putting lipstick on a pig. I replied: And what I’ve found with Windows is that people take that pig and say “Well, it works well enough, and all the clothes I bought for it fit, so I don’t think I should switch over [...]

Seen on the Internets #3

Posted by Paul on Mar 16, 2007 in Update

This is absolutely incredible. Thanks to Richard Dawkins for exposing me to this: Insert uncooperative YouTube video here. I particularly like this: Don’t take refuge in the false security of consensus. Christopher Hitchens positions on a lot of issues are contrary to mine, but in this video he makes extremely salient points. Update: Anybody know [...]
