Yes and no

Yes and no (mainly because it wouldn't work and the cat would ultimately turn on you and begin to plan your quick demise).

RTM in many places

Lest you just joined us I am a huge fan of Remember the Milk for managing To-do lists and all of the various deliverables for which my department is responsible. (whew, just avoided a dangling participle there). Today I added a few more channels to siphon information …

How we rock

Today, this is how we rock.

Fisheye fun

Here are some recent fun shots with the new iPhone fisheye lens. I'm really not sure what happened to the orange photo... iPhone bug, maybe.

I love this kind of stuff.

Love the 2009 HUSH reel.

DIY Bokeh lens hood

I simply must try this in my spare time.

monome

I have this new obsession. It's called the monome. I won't go into tremendous detail about it right now, but you can expect to see some of my monome based experiments here on the AV Club over the next several months as I dig into this device. First, what the heck is …

I didn't watch the Super Bowl

Not coming as a shock to anybody I did not watch the Super Bowl last night. I only regret missing commercials. So let's crowdsource an effort to quell my need for knowledge. What one commercial do you deem as "Ken must see?"

I'd prefer not to have links to ALL …

Star Trek Super Bowl Spot

Say what you want, I'm stoked as heck about the new Star Trek movie. Ever since I used to sit and watch the original 1960s Star Trek with my Dad I've been a fan of the series. I grew up as a geeky middle schooler on The Next Generation (and have since renounced it), …

iPhone (mini) mod

Swing time

Today Dad and I finished up phase II of the fort, the swings. Truth be told we only spent about 30 more minutes finishing up, but I did get to use my Dremel to cut some chain (15k RPM, oh yeah) so I believe that qualifies as serious heavy labor. I saw sparks.

Lost is always better communal

I love Lost. I like where season 5 is heading (though do any of us really know where that is?). And I most appreciate that it is best enjoyed as a community event.
