hi internet

I haven’t been up to anything major; just chilling out around the net.

Buck sent out this link to an awesome talk on unicode and python. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ Definitely worth watching ┬──┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ).

I’ve been reading PGP & GPG, which has been a great introduction to setting up and using Gnu Privacy Guard. Still working through it but you can get a copy over at cointagion.com pretty easily if you’re in the market for a fun tech read. I can haz public key!

In other news, foodler.com has been doing a solid job of turning bitcoins into food. all4btc.com will hopefully do a solid job of turning bitcoins into amazon orders…will have to see how it goes.

Oh, I’ve also been working on a small Clojure web app to show my recent daily pictures. Check it out!

have a great week! ☺

Built this little guy at the last Yelp hackathon

hi internet

Yelp had a hackathon this past Thursday and Friday. Zak and I built a pretty neat whale using three.js. I tried to get it up on S3 but it only kinda works in firefox and completely bombs on webkit browsers…will have to figure that out. In the mean time here’s an old video of our last hackathon project: Bleep Bloop, I am code companion.

Still working on my picture-a-day project. Finally figured out how to load and scale all the images in a directory using Clojure. Always frustrating to do stuff with a new languge at first but it’s starting to feel good in my brain.

Carry on, internet friend. And, as always,

have a great week!

hi internet

A lot has happened since last post! Robin’s parents came to visit and they rented a really awesome cabin up by Ashland, Oregon that we chilled at.

It’s really pretty up there and you can do awesome, extreme things like white water rafting.

Back in San Fransico Pride happened. You can’t see it very well in the panorama but there’s a really neat pink triangle up on Twin Peaks.

And other random things:

bitcoins? yes, bitcoins! If you live in America and have a checking accont, just use coinbase to get some.
I’ve been watching Democracy Now! lately. It’s a good news source. If you want to torrent it just go directly to their tracker site.
Sven sent out a good inbox zero link. Which led me to a new favorite website: http://www.doitfuckingnow.com.
Got a used Samsung Nexus S off of ebay and installed replicant on it. It’s been a lot of fun!
Robin took some fantastic photos of the fourth of july fireworks in sf bay.

have a great week!
