Work in progress on an Aleph Myrmidon Hacker miniature. For the Infinity tabletop skirmish game, by Corvus Belli.
My new Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional 2, imported from Japan.
I do look at the keys occasionally (thankfully, with black labels on black keys, it's not much), so I needed labels. Also, labels are vital because of so many keys that are in non-standard places and only available through the function key.
The keys have a roughened texture (not a camera artifact). For some reasons, Topre-based HH keyboards don't photograph well.
Color adjustment with GIMP, and depth-of-field effect added with Focus Blur filter.

The goal was to create a super wide and cheap APS camera.
Step 1: Take a Canon IXUS FF - file down and glue on a 67-72mm filter step-up ring - paint black to hide all the messy glue (and also to cut down on internal reflections?).
Step 2: Screw on a 0.43x wide angle converter lens that I found for a few pounds on ebay.
Step 3: Realise that you just more than doubled the camera's weight (175g -> 400g!)
Step 4: Shoot and pray it worked out OK.
It came out with a focal length of about 25mm (35mm equivalent) which isn't bad. The bonus is that you get the macro lens thrown in (by unscrewing the wide angle bit).
We often let nine months old Lucas play with Alpha Baby - it's fun for him to hear the sounds and see the coloured polygons appear when he presses keys on the keyboard. And with the security built in, his parents can relax about Lucas messing up the computer... Except, in this clip, Lucas manages to exit from Alpha Baby by turning the keyboard around, then activates Front Row, followed by a visit to System Preferences where he accidentally turned on speech for the visually impaired. It took a while to reset the computer so it didn't read web pages out loud.

During PBS’ NOVA “Memory Hackers” session at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour in Pasadena, CA on Tuesday, January 19, 2016, pediatric neurologist and neuroscientist Nico Dosenbach, 12-year-old with HSAM (Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory) Jake Hausler, professor and psychologist Dr. Julia Shaw, professor Dr. André Fenton, producer, director and writer Michael Bicks and series senior executive producer Paula Apsell explore how researchers on the cutting edge of mind-control can implant, change and even erase memories. On this thought-provoking journey into the mind, NOVA investigates the mysterious nature of how we remember.

Hacker-Festzelt is one of the most popular tents at the Oktoberfest in Munich. Even before it opened, at 10 am, there was a long line of kurt lederhosen clad men - clearly seen in this photo - waiting to get in!
This tent is one of the largest at the festival with seating space for 6,900 guests and as the name implies they're sponsored by and serve beer from the Hacker-Pschorr brewery.
Mmmmm, hacking my brain feels a little spastic at first, then it can actually feel pretty relaxing. Lots of crazy patterns going on here.
I have a theory on why the patterns appear the way they do. When you stare at a bright light your eye compensates for that light by creating a spot (even with eyes closed). I found that when I kept my eyes still, those spots filled in and nothing out of the ordinary happened. However, when I moved my eyes rapidly, those spots created crazier patterns. The white noise sound from the earphones serves to pull you into a meditative state. Now, I was doing this in the middle of a party, so the white noise faded into the background and I concentrated on the party goers instead. What was particularly interesting was that the colors were bright red at first, but as I neared the end of my 15 minutes, the red faded to a grey. I was seeing the same patterns, but in black and white instead of color. It was as if my eyes compensated for the intense red and canceled it out.
A pretty cool experiment/project.

Isn’t it true we all would wish for increased productivity & efficiency?! I listened yesterday to a TED talk on productivity (via Michael Hyatt’s blog | btw… one of my favorite blogs!!) & the presenter, Jason Fried, argued that “Work doesn’t happen at work.” I was intrigued & it led to a bit of introspection & evaluation. Generally speaking, I’ve somewhat always been a very organized person. From childhood when I would arrange my Hotwheels according to Make/Model, even to college, when my roommates joked about the organization of my closet or checkbook register… some laughed as I pulled the pocket calendar out of my back pocket & could track time & expenses. I’m not sure what to call it but people have always pointed out that I possess the ability to simplify complex matters… whether it be design, home organization, business principles, etc. In any case, I’m grateful to God… yes, even for OCD!
Running your own business is complicated, heck, running your own life is complicated. There are dozens of wonderful tools for personal & business now available for each of us… Evernote, Dropbox, Things, ShootQ & Pictage (for you photographers), & etc. For the most part, I use each of the above, yet, what I’ve found to be my “must-have” tool of choice, is my Moleskine. It’s no over-statement, I love my Moleskine. Without it, I feel naked… or brainless. It’s my control center in many respects.
I’ve been using a Pocket Moleskine for several years & decided for 2011 to customize it according to my needs, aka “hack.” There are dozens of excellent Moleskine Hack articles online, among my favorite is the comprehensive article by Freelance Switch here. Inspired by David Allen’s book, Getting Things Done, many geeks like myself (it’s true, I am!) are using the systems he mentions to be more productive & organized. I thought I’d share a few of the customizations I made to my Pocket Moleskine. Cheers to an organized life!!
The view of my desk from above… yes, in most situations, I’m rather passionate about keeping it uncluttered.
