The contractors banged up the hose fitting for our hand shower while they were correcting their previous installation job. Two steps forward, one step back. At least we can use this (once the bathroom is done!) while we wait for the replacement part. I'm doing my best not to be blinded with rage at this point.
We're having our (only) bathroom remodeled - completely gutted and redone with new tile, tub, toilet, sink, vanity, and lights. We're also adding a pocket door and an exhaust fan. They estimated 10 days start to finish, but we're already up to 14 days with several significant problems that still need to be solved, plus time for painting.
I'm working on production for a far more elegant solution (and you'll love it), but in the meantime, a pro tip:
1. Get some stick-on velcro and put the soft side (pile) on your Apple TV remote.
2. Put the hooks on that TV remote that you only use for turning on the TV anyway.
3. Stick them together and never lose your ATV between couch cushions, under chairs, or simply under a piece of paper on the coffee table again.
After we review all information about an event that we get from our reliable sources we analyze and choose the best tips for our members. We offer tips from the biggest leagues in Europe. Football: England - Premier League, Spain - LaLiga, Italy - Serie A, Germany - Bundesliga, Champions League, Europe League; Basketball: Euroleague, Spain ACB, Germany BBL and sometimes national teams.
I've spent the last several days attending protests, mostly to document, and partially to participate. I haven't always embraced the black half of my identity, despite it being the most visible and forward-facing part. But I have struggled with systemic racism, oppression, and specifically systemic issues with police my entire life.
On Friday the 29th, the group of peaceful protesters I was with in Oakland were teargassed and flashbanged. This isn't news, but I was fucking there and documented it between wiping my eyes and moving upwind from gas and away from explosives. For the thousands of peaceful protesters I saw, there were at most 10 individuals tagging (mostly boards), breaking, setting fires. This minority felt categorically different than the rest of the protesters and in no way was representative. This is the album of those photos.
From then on in Stanford, East Palo Alto, and San Jose, there were zero bad actors at the protests I attended. Completely energizing, excited, and lively, but peaceful and nondestructive. By. The. Thousands.
So take your complicit bullshit out of here if you're trying to legitimize or excuse or divert from police fucking murdering black people by waving around the tiny-ass percentage of people doing property damage. Seriously, what is wrong with y'all??!! The answer is systemic oppression.
The thing I've felt the most is hope. Hope that this will finally mobilize real change. America doesn't vote well (especially for legislators) and the Supreme Court doesn't move quickly enough. These are the primary legal actions for enacting change. So what the fuck are people supposed to do to stop our black brothers and sisters from getting brutally murdered if not this? There isn't another answer.
Read the resource guides people post. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, damn, but message me and I'll nonjudgmentally give you some. Go to a protest. Bring a sign. And water. And a towel to wipe the tear gas out of your eyes for when the cops think you need to get brutalized for showing up to stand up to their brutalization (protip: wait until it's dry).
(Pictured: Justin and Brian on the left side of the infield, and Ryan making his season debut.)
Humblest apologies for the tardiness of this email. Here’s a protip: don’t ever give anyone a heads up you are going on vacation, so they don’t get a chance to ask you to get things done before you head out. I learned that one the hard way. Sadly, my vacation means yesterday was my final regular season game of the year. I’m leaving you in Justin’s very capable hands for the last two games. And I trust you’ll show him the respect you never got around to showing me.
Last night’s game saw us score 16 runs in the 5 innings we played before darkness set in. A whopping three players made their softball debut, by the way. And all three of them went a perfect 2-2 at the plate. So a big thanks to Ryan for his offensive contributions and nice catch in left field to start the game, to Brian for his dogged insistence on being different than his brother by wearing a glove on the other hand, and to Adam for being a much better pitcher than I was. We had fifteen people play last night, so I won’t take the time to single every person out. I do want to make sure everyone knows of Seamus’s dedication. Not only did he come out and play immediately upon his return from vacation in Portugal, but he dragged his wife out, and he reserved the field. Thanks to everyone else who played: Andrew, Emily, Justin, Steve, Kurt, Natasha, Amanda, Grace (who someone managed to fit in yoga before the game), Angel (thanks for driving!), and Bonnie. And thanks to everyone who brought alcohol, we had a staggering amount of booze on hand.
(Oh, and I’m not mentioning defense because we apparently decided not to employ it last night.)
We have the tournament this weekend. And best of luck for the final two games.
I’ll have an end of season wrap up when I get back, but I wanted to make sure to thank everyone for a fantastic season. I can arrange all the games I want, it doesn’t mean a thing if nobody shows up. We had thirty-eight different people get in a game this season so far, and I’ve lost track of how many people have asked about the season or wished us well. So thanks for the interest, and I hope everyone has gotten some fun out of the games or the write-ups.
And just like last year, we’ll figure out an end of season happy hour. Stay tuned for more details.

So the other day, I showed where to find the App Store located on Macs. Well, today, I want to show how it's possible to create a self contained app, which actually shows up in your Dock using the iPhone App Store logo and everything, as you can see in the pic above.
The first thing you need to do is download Fluid:
Fluid is a cool free app that allows you to make apps out of web pages. You'll also need the iPhone App Store icon. Joshia Della at DeviantArt has one here:
joshladella005.deviantart.com/art/iPhone-icons-91004527
Okay, now that you have downloaded all the necessary components, open up Fluid and you should see the same dialog as above. First, paste in the url of Apple's download page. In this case it is:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/
Paste that in to the "URL" dialog. Next, you're going to fill in the "Name" dialog with "App Store" or "Mac App Store" or whatever name you want to give to this app.
Leave the "Location" dialog at its default of "Applications." Okay, in the "Icon" dialog, navigate to the PNG folder located inside the icon folder provided by Joshia Della and click on the "Applications" icon or whatever icon you prefer.
Now click "Create" and Fluid will ask you if you want to "Launch Now." Go ahead and click it because there's one more thing you need to do to make sure this is a self-contained app.
Go to the Preferences menu in your newly created app and go to the "Advanced" dialog. Inside, you will click on "Allow Browsing to Any Url." This option allows you to open up any link in the App itself. Otherwise, whenever you hit a link, it will automatically open up Safari or Firefox or whichever your default web browser might be.
That's all. Enjoy your new Mac App Store.
ProTip: When choosing icons for Fluid always use PNG files instead of JPEG. PNG files allow Alpha Channels, which is a big deal when part of the icon needs to be transparent. JPEGs don't allow this.

Found a way to tighten the top nut on the DTSline coilover set. I blocked the strut from moving with a piece of rubber and some pliers.
A close-up of my Galaxy SII's battery indicator; as I'm in the process of draining it (protip: occasionally draining your phone's battery completely is very good for it's battery life on the long run). (EDIT: Or not.)
I used a reversing ring for this one; 50mm f1.8 reversed on 55-250mm f3.5. The photograph -at it's current resolution (240 DPI, a fairly proper hi-res print)- shows about 3 pixels of the screen per inch. The actual amoled-screen is 218 DPI; so this is magnified to about 7000%, give or take.
Also; pixels. :-)
I weathered and un-masked the green bits, then applied the foil stickers and fitted them in place. Protip: Don't burnish them as the printing is not what you'd call robust!
A lot of us have been very upset to learn about Paul Zhang and his mission to kill as many cats as he can. The story broke a week ago, but today I finally mailed out nearly 200 letters to local vets, alerting him to what he's been doing. If you haven't heard about it, Mr Zhang is a former TNR advocate who mysteriously did a 180 and began trapping street cats and taking them to local vets to have them put down. There's more to the story, please check stoppaulzhang.wordpress.com/ for more info.
At first there was a lot of outrage from TNR people, understandably so. There was a lot of talk about what should be done about it, but after a couple of days I realized that nobody was actually going to do anything whatsoever, besides whine about it on a message board. I thought we should send letters to all the vets in town warning them about him, so over a week later I finally got it done.
I couldn't find a list of vets in the city so I just cobbled one together from Google Maps (protip: Mapquest is the only leading map site that shows the zip code on the search list, which makes the process way faster). I ended up with a list of almost 200 vets, but I know there are many more I didn't catch. If there is some way to get ALL the results for vets in the city I would love to know.
I composed a letter explaining the situation in the hopes that vets will refuse to help him for fear they may be breaking the law. I know a lot of vets don't really care about feral cats but since Zhang is trapping people's pets as well, maybe they will think it's better to be safe than sorry.
I spent way too much time figuring out how to print all the address labels out, but I finally got the letters printed, addressed and sealed. Another protip: the post office won't take 200 letters and run them through a postal printer, which they totally have, unless you're a business or something. They gave me 200 stamps to stick on each letter. Thanks post office! I'll miss you when you're a Starbucks!
So the letters are sent, who knows if it will do any good. Zhang reportedly threatened to drown cats himself if vets won't kill cats for him but I think this is a lie meant to manipulate people (of course, a vet who hears this should be calling 911 immediately, unlike Antelyes Animal Hospital who agreed to kill cats for him). Let's keep getting the word out until he is stopped for good.
The letter is here.
Part of my new "ProTips" Series! ;)
The Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) cleans the indoor air of many environmental contaminants, including benzene, formaldehyde, and other pollutants.
The added bonus is that this plant is very easy to grow and maintain.
Off-camera flash bounced off a white composite cutting board just above/right of the lily. I wanted a "fresh" look, so I put this in front of a window that had a view of spring leaves blowing in the wind as the bokeh-backdrop. Cropped to square, then used Picnic tools on Flickr to add the text.
Found a way to tighten the top nut on the DTSline coilover set. I blocked the strut from moving with a piece of rubber and some pliers.
I thought that the purpose of shutting the T down every night was that they don't have to do the stupid shuttle bus thing like they do in New York?
I guess not.
Also, MBTA, protip: please put these signs in every red line station so people find out about it before they get to Cambridge.

Las celebraciones se realizarán en el laboratorio Cern y el invitado de honor es Tim Berners-Lee.
En marzo de 1989 el físico británico Tim Berners-Lee del Centro Europeo de Investigación Nuclear, más conocido como Cern, presentó ante sus superiores un documento llamado "Gestión de la Informática: una propuesta", un sistema de hipertexto que tenía como fin facilitar el intercambio y distribución de la información y que fue concebido originalmente para fortalecer la comunicación entre los científicos del propio laboratorio.
Este sería el comienzo de la World Wide Web y las múltiples alternativas de conocimiento y comunicación que generarían una verdadera revolución hasta nuestros días.
"Tenía el ambiente, los científicos, la tecnología, el apoyo, todo lo que yo necesitaba para desarrollar mi idea", explicó el físico que recibió el premio Príncipe de Asturias 2002.
Aunque el proyecto se hizo público en septiembre de 1990, Berners-Lee junto a Robert Cailliau comenzó a desarrollar el código, que luego se transformó en el conocido lenguaje HTML. Posteriormente, los investigadores elaboraron el esquema de direcciones que dio a cada página una url (o dirección web) única.
Luego de establecer las reglas de las llamadas HTTP (protocolo de transferencia de hipertexto), que permite transmitir la información a través de la red, el primer servidor web se conectó el 6 de agosto de 1991, dando inicio a la era de internet.
El crecimiento fue rápido. Aunque en 1993 había más de 500 servidores conocidos, y los accesos a través de las WWW representaban el 1 por ciento del tráfico en internet, ya en 1994 la web tenía 10.000 servidores y 10 millones de usuarios, muy lejos también de lo que existe hoy: 80 millones de sitios web registrados.
CELEBRACIONES
El laboratorio Cern ubicado en Ginebra será el lugar donde se celebrarán los 20 años de la World Wide Web, y cuyo invitado principal es el propio Berners-Lee, que actualmente es parte del equipo del Institute de Tecnología de Massachussets.
Según cita el diario El Mundo.es, algunos de los asistentes llevarán en este evento camisetas decoradas con la frase "vago, pero emocionante", que fueron las palabras que escribió Mike Sendall, el supervisor del físico cuando le presentó el proyecto, y que a estas alturas se ha transformado en una frase mítica.
Además, en la celebración -que fue bautizada como worldwideweb@20, instalaron en un lugar privilegiado el computador que usó Berners-Lee para programar el protipo del software de navegación y el diseño de la primera página web.

Things I have on my keychain besides keys. Protip: I used a gum wrapper to mask the flash and got way better results.
I've spent the last several days attending protests, mostly to document, and partially to participate. I haven't always embraced the black half of my identity, despite it being the most visible and forward-facing part. But I have struggled with systemic racism, oppression, and specifically systemic issues with police my entire life.
On Friday the 29th, the group of peaceful protesters I was with in Oakland were teargassed and flashbanged. This isn't news, but I was fucking there and documented it between wiping my eyes and moving upwind from gas and away from explosives. For the thousands of peaceful protesters I saw, there were at most 10 individuals tagging (mostly boards), breaking, setting fires. This minority felt categorically different than the rest of the protesters and in no way was representative. This is the album of those photos.
From then on in Stanford, East Palo Alto, and San Jose, there were zero bad actors at the protests I attended. Completely energizing, excited, and lively, but peaceful and nondestructive. By. The. Thousands.
So take your complicit bullshit out of here if you're trying to legitimize or excuse or divert from police fucking murdering black people by waving around the tiny-ass percentage of people doing property damage. Seriously, what is wrong with y'all??!! The answer is systemic oppression.
The thing I've felt the most is hope. Hope that this will finally mobilize real change. America doesn't vote well (especially for legislators) and the Supreme Court doesn't move quickly enough. These are the primary legal actions for enacting change. So what the fuck are people supposed to do to stop our black brothers and sisters from getting brutally murdered if not this? There isn't another answer.
Read the resource guides people post. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, damn, but message me and I'll nonjudgmentally give you some. Go to a protest. Bring a sign. And water. And a towel to wipe the tear gas out of your eyes for when the cops think you need to get brutalized for showing up to stand up to their brutalization (protip: wait until it's dry).
