2 webgeek software giants, $3.4B, what happens next? PhotoWeaver CSMX 2005? Slashdot has some geek perspectives on the big news.
Who knew? The things you learn when you suddenly find out you’re autistic! It’s been about a month now, and I’ve been on a wild rollercoaster ride trying to process all that I’ve learned and experienced since then. It is amazing to suddenly have access to so many resources to get information, not to mention …

Doesn’t get much geekier than this…
The Games section is updated. New code, slightly new design, and 5 new games: 3d Snake, Disco Racer, Beer Drag, Bulbs Away, and Cheetah Race
I think this may be the first ‘post about me’ that I’ve made here on LBnuke, or anywhere else for that matter. I post about things I do, places I go, things I find, things that are interesting to me, but never anything that is ‘about me’.
I have reset comments permissions to include unregistered users while I try an experiment with site security. If all goes well, they will stay that way. If not, I’ll have to change it back to registered users only. I originally closed them because of tons of comment spam.
I’ve been meaning to post this link to bugmenot, a page that allows people to bypass compulsory web registration for sites like nytimes.com. Is it legal? I don’t know. But it’s pretty handy. I also came across this link to a very interesting article on developing sites for users with cognitive disabilities and learning difficulties. …
3 new hangman games are added to the Hangman section (Other Stuff menu). They are Broadway, Video Games, and Rock and Pop. Have Fun 🙂
Name Voyager is a fun java app (your browser must run java to play with it) where you type in a name, and it charts the name by U.S. popularity, by decade, for the past century. For example, if I enter “Lori”, the graph starts going up at around 1940, peaks in the 60’s, and …
Had fun at the WordPress upgrade party last night. Upgraded lbg to wp 1.5. The upgrade was very smooth and easy besides from the second sidebar being kind of tricky. Got some help from Matt to fix it. Lots of nice people there, including some web dev heroes of mine, Eric Meyer and Molly Holzschlag. …
Side Track is a replacement driver for apple ibooks and powerbooks. It adds much needed functionality to the apple trackpad. Coming from the 5 button scrolling mouse on the pc, I was very frustrated with the trackpad on my powerbook. The worst thing was that if I set the trackpad for ‘tap to click’, and …
Smell-o-mints is a very fun, free mac program. It is a periodic table of the elements. You can click on each element in the table for more information, and if you want more in-depth info, you can click a link and go directly to that elements wikipedia page.
I will miss it. A sea of ibooks, powerbooks, clamshells, and even a few pcs. Geeks everywhere. More information than it is possible to process in 5 days. Hardware, software, lots of pens. Tiny hard drives. Tiny macs. Tiny ipods. G5s everywhere. Free magazines. Even a hacky sack. I will miss it.
Wil Wheaton was excellent. He told the story about his first mac, the TI he had before that, frustration w/macs and a trip to the pc dark side, a trip to linuxland, and then back to mac. He is a geek. So am I. AppleScripting the iApps was very interesting. Learned some cool stuff, but …
I am at MacWorld, day 4. So far it has been a blast even though I am completely worn out. Been doing mostly os x and applescript stuff, w/a short break for some photoshop tips. It is great to get to learn so much. Keynote was kind of boring. Tiger, tiger, spotlight, blah blah, ipod …
Finally moved this site to my new server. I decided to update the files too. It’s almost the same, except for a few small design changes, including changing the page width to 100%, so it will look very big if you have a big monitor and maximized browser! Please let me know if you find …
