Gliss for Palm Pre and Pixi fixed for webOS 1.4
After a 3-day delay waiting for update approval from Palm, Gliss and Glissito are finally fixed to work in webOS 1.4, so make sure you update!
I wasn't expecting changes that would affect my game, which is why this change was last-minute.
My apologies for the few days of a non-working game.
WTF, WTFJS?
My co-worker Jason Ostrander recently tipped me off about a new blog that's recently appeared, called wtfjs.com. I'm all about geek humor, so I ran quickly to check it out.
My initial reaction was one of complete annoyance. Anyone who knows me knows that I am certainly no stick-in-the-mud, and I'm certainly willing to forgo some amount of technical accuracy in the name of a good laugh. But for some reason, the approach taken by this site rubs me the wrong way.
I think this is a great site with a lot of potential, but it needs a bit more love and care.
Proposition 8 – Flawed Arguments
There aren't any new arguments here. I just want to gather, in one place, all of the arguments in support of Prop 8 that I have an issue with.
ICY MetaData (ShoutCast song titles)
I wrote a quick python script once to help me parse song metadata from ICY streams. Quite a few popular streams use this format these days, including most of the streams on ShoutCast and IceCast.
Phase Cancellation
Sometimes I get excited about silly things. In this case, I experience the real-life manifestation of a mathematical concept.
Dimensions and Perception
I've been doing a lot of reading about math lately — calculus, complex numbers, the discovery of the transcendental functions, and so on. I also occasionally catch a random article discussing string theory. Now, string theory I don't really understand. It discusses ideas like the possibility that our universe actually exists in many more than 3 dimension, but for some reason, the 3 that we see dominates.
