Jeans and How NOT to Wear Them.

At this point it's clear that these three Hollywood trendsetters, Heidi Klum, Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckham, are trying to set a new trend - baggy jeans (usually 2-4 sizes bigger than usual), hold by various belts and look a bit ... unflattering...

"Try Out the Universe on Your Desktop" - by Eli Bressert, CXC

In the last year we have seen tremendous development in visualizing the Universe through the digital world. Google Sky and Wikisky are examples of this progress. These interfaces have taken well-known all-sky surveys and detailed observations to create virtual observatories that show our nearest planetary neighbors, like Mars and Jupiter, to the most distant galaxies in the Universe. Today, Microsoft's WorldWide Telescope has joined the group in digitizing the Universe. Earlier this year Microsoft gave an amazing demonstration at TED. But right now everyone can download the WorldWide Telescope program and explore the Universe with impressive integration and interconnectivity.

classic photos in lego

mike stimpson: “classics in lego”.

Enter the work of fellow-Lego lover Mike Stimpson. On his Flickr set you can see his toy block genius at work: he takes classic photographs and recreates them with Lego. I appreciate how he doesn’t necessarily take any of the pre-supposed emotional impact of the Lego itself into account when he chooses which photos to recreate. Sure, Lego are always smiling, but that doesn’t mean he only recreates happy photos - like in his reenactment of the iconic “unknown rebel” in Tiannemen Square…

Twitterdom: Living in the land of Twitter

“She was in the Twitter-Light Zone. She had been away from Twitter for almost a week, and was suffering Tweetdrawals. While Twaiting in Twaffic one Tweekend , she decided to Tweet to her Tweeps. In no time, she was lost in the Twitterstream, and caught up in the Twitterloop. She was feeling Twittilated by a few of the Twitticisms being Tweeted , and suddenly realized that she was/is a Tweetaholic.”

Twitter.com is becoming its own country (Twitterdom) and the natives there have been developing their own vernacular. I discovered the “Twitterictionary” while looking for new Twitter apps to play with. (I’ll be writing another blog later today covering those). In the meantime… are you up on the local jargon?

one of the largest illegal spamming operations in the nation.

January 3, 2008

"Today's charges seek to knock out one of the largest illegal spamming and fraud operations in the country, an international scheme to make money by manipulating stock prices through illegal spam e-mail promotions.

The charges arose after a three-year investigation - led by agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with assistance from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Internal Revenue Service - revealed a sophisticated and extensive spamming operation that, as alleged in the indictment, largely focused on running a stock "pump and dump" scheme, whereby the defendants sent spam touting thinly traded Chinese penny stocks, drove up their stock price, and reaped profits by selling the stock at artificially inflated prices.

On January 3, 11 people from around the world were charged with using botnets to run what is billed as one of the largest illegal spamming operations in the nation.

Create an invisible folder (hack)

Create an Invisible Folder

Update: This is not a secure hack. It is designed to hide your files from some one who is browsing through files, not your system admin, not your computer hacker friends. Think of it like hiding your money under the mattress, if some one really wants to find it they will, but if they are not looking for it they wont find it. It’s a fun trick and it works best on your desktop (just remember where you placed it)

You ever have a folder on your computer that you really dont want any one to find? You can make this folder hidden but then you have to un-hide all the folders when ever you want to find it. So how can you make a folder truly invisible? Follow these simple steps and your unmentionables will stay that way.
