Online Creative Suite

I am so freakin impressed with this online creative suite at

The entire thing was made using Adobe Flex and I think more than anything else I have seen, this really makes it apparent what can be done with flex. While I am generally not a big fan of Flex based design, the fact that this web system is free to use online makes it quite amazing.

They have different online apps for vector and bitmap manipulation. Additionally they have an app for make color palettes and editing music and video. They even have tutorials on how to use the different apps

image

You can then export your creations to your desktop.

One Step Away From China

The government has now warned government employees to not look at the wikileaks site on either work or personal computers.

On one hand I get it, the data is still classified even though it has leaked. At the same time this is a slippery slope. I bet soon enough we will have a something close to the Chinese situation that American's so often criticize.

FIFA Worldcup 2022

I never write about sports but this one caught my eye. Qatar won the 2022 FIFA bid for the worldcup and Japan lost.

Japan's bid included offering to display the games in 400 international stadiums in holographic projection so that people who were not there could experience the game. They also show children with real time translation devices like in star trek. I guess it makes sense 2022 is 10 year away and technology is moving pretty quickly. I wish they had won.

Living Close To Work

Nothing is better than walking home four blocks in one inch of snow while everyone else has to dig their way off the road to get back to their suburban getaways.

Dairy Air

sorry, but gay and military don’t mix, I was in during the gulf and after with some incursions that if I was partnered with a gay individual I would question his/her ability to think rationally and to watch my back instead of my dairy air...



I am totally confused about this point. I think men who love men have infinitely more interest in protecting other men. I guess this guy never heard of Sparta? In one of the other responses from the article, someone quoted another person saying something like, "In battle, I want to be partnered with a gay man who is in love with me, so that when the enemy fires at me, he takes it personally." Unfortunately, when I tried to find the quote itself on google I could not find anything that matched.

My favorite response was this one:

Grow up!
I was in the military, I went to war and got my medals, Oh!, and I am a queer! Most of the guys in the service with me knew it and some liked to f*** with me, but just once. Know how to stop someone from calling you a faggot? Kick his ass, you go from being "that faggot" to "that faggot that kissed his ass" and you would be surprised at all the silence!

Taste Nirvana Real Coconut Water with Pulp

When in Toronto the other day for Andy C, I stopped at a store that had Taste Nirvana Real Coconut Water w/ Pulp. The pulp is in the form of little square chunks of coconut. Honestly, it might have been the tastiest drink I have ever drank. It had a nutty, almost hazelnut flavor and a real refreshing consistency.

Has anyone seen it locally? I ended up ordering it online at Harney and Sons for $24 for a case of 12. It ended up cheaper than at the store. Amazon had it too but it was way more.

Toronto Weekend - Andy C

I went to Toronto with (e:keitht) and Cindy to see Andy C at the guvernment on Friday. The very best part is that they aanounced there will be a WEMF 2011.

Here are some videos of it I found on youtube. The lights and quadrophonic sound system at the guvernment were awesome. Not quite the light show Circa had last march but the sound and space made up for it.

In the videos you can't tell at all what it sounded like because the whole thing is really based on the room shaking bass.


















I also saw that Andy C has a facebook page

Speaking of Circa, I tried looking for info about it but it looks like it must have closed now. I find it so funny that their old site now links to a bed bug removal site.

image

It was quite an adventure full of extreme sensory input. My ears are still ringing now like 2 days later. We barely slept and then spent Saturday hiking around the freezing city. All in all it was quite a great time.
