My god, will it ever end!

Mac mini reviews keep popping up every day. Ok, it's an inexpensive Mac with decent horsepower for most apps. The standard video could have been upped a bit - 32 MB? Are we still in the 90's? Oh no, I'm writing a review! :)

I was playing with mass and springs a few months back, here's a little demo written in io: MassSpring.io

The History of the Remote Control

http://www.tvhistory.tv/Remote%20Controls.htm

I vaguely remember a tv remote control for my grandparent's black and white tv. It had two buttons, I think channel up and volume setting 1, 2, and 3. Now we have remotes with 100 buttons, how technological advanced we have become (that's a sarcastic remark) :)

Infected Mushroom event Jan 21, 2005

Infected Mushroom is one of my favorite bands, and I've seen them twice now. This second time though, they did not play all through the night like last time. After a DJ played for about an our afterwards, I thought perhaps they would start playing again.

Here's a couple pictures I took with my cell phone - they are very crappy, so it's up to your own imagination :)

Companies using the word "free" like it's going out of style

Cable is free for everyone, yay! Not. At least put a asterik by it. Steve and I are really getting fed up with this shit.

Why do some people hate object oriented programming?

"A frequent argument for OOP is it helps with code reusability, but one can reuse code without OOP—often by simply copying and pasting. There's no need to superimpose some elaborate structure of interacting, instantiated objects, with all the messaging and fragility that it introduces into a program."

So should I just go back to coding in assembly language? :)
