Project Idea: Book Mashups

I was thinking about online data earlier today (and yesterday) and I had this thought to try and spruce up online magazine articles, you know, make them nicer or more interactive for users to get more of an online experience through them when this idea hit me.

What if we took a classic book, like say Dracula (I use this because of the data available) and put it online. Most of you would say "Matt, that's already been done before. To death actually." To which I would say "Aha! But there's more!"… Continue

State Radio - 07.28.2008

I got lucky last night.

Though probably not as lucky as you thought I did by reading that first sentence. My luck last night was of a different sort. The type of luck that gets you through the night and makes sure you have a great time.

I went to State Radio play a show last night. State Radio is a great band formed after Dispatch broke up (okay, so they formed before Dispatch broke up, but they got more attention afterward). They play a… Continue

Rubber Ducky Review #1: Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog (SPOILERS)

So now that Dr. Horrible Act 3 has been released and has been out for about 24 hours now, I thought it would be cool to kind of go over the series really quick in a full review. Suffice it to say, I’m a big fan of Joss Whedon and Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog did not disappoint.

The Format

Dr. Horrible was released in 3 short acts done in similar fashion to the Buffy episode "Once More With Feeling." The first act length is 13:49, the second is 13:08 and the last is 15:29. They are ava… Continue

Float the River Day 2008

So I was asked to go on a trip today to float on the river with my roommates, my neighbors, and several of their friends. Sounds pretty fun, so I cleared today at work and nabbed a tube (a tubing tube, so it had this dense sleeve on it that people wanted me to take off) and started today relatively early.

A few hours of waiting later, we managed to get everyone assembled and began floating down the Gallatin River, which is a tad bit flooded and cold due to the ice melt, but no real problems, ju… Continue

Dead Pixels In New Camcorder

So I got my new camcorder yesterday and I've been playing around with stuff and i tried recording my campfire response tonight using the new cam. To my horror, the two misplaced green and red pixels in the camera LCD actually effing recorded with the image! So now I'm stuck with the misfortune of seeing if I can get a replacement in the next few days or something.

Anybody know what causes stuff like this? Like too much heat or something on the lens?

*Sigh* I'm going to have to record a less el… Continue

Are you astride a bike in your profile photo? I see you live in Bozeman. I rode my bike from Bozeman to Rexburg ID some years back.

LOL @ earwax. I have never been a big fan of Pioneer headphones. The last Pioneer headphones i purchased were the SE-NC70S and in about three months the right side died out and the battery life was crap. What I do like about pioneer is the sound q...

Well I have the 2006 80 GB classic & the 32GB iPod touch both sound qualities are great but I must agree about the classic being better. I've been getting alot positive feedback about Sennheiser so I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the info!
