$AMZN Glacier: $0.012 per GB / month with 10TB data = 120 USD / month.
Crashplan promises unlimited data for $9 / month = is it even possible? Too good to be true?
But 1. Amazon offers harddisk ship in data. 2. Crashplan likely have no such service.
Decisions. Decisions. Most likely would go with AWS unless Crashplan promises to actually still exist in 20 years. Unclear.

There’s this message notification on my Facebook account which are so old that I have no idea what they are but I can’t get rid of because Facebook has no “sort by unread” option. And so I just made a mental note that 7 = 0 for me. It is old because I think that I have been using Facebook this way for at least 3 years now.
I kind of suck it up all the years because I thought that well maybe some day they would fix it. Unfortunately even after Facebook has IPO’d for a long while and with so much funding they failed the user experience miserably.
Please fix! This is very annoying.
If it is unclear, this is a screenshot of the Facebook iPad app. But the same is seen on all other devices and I don't think that I can find those message nor can I clear that number 7 anywhere. Ugh.

It's not a phobia. You are not scared.

“The 1st and 7th circuit decisions mean that it is now technically legal to record on-duty police officers in every state in the country. Unfortunately, people are still being arrested for it. Police officers who want to make an arrest to intimidate would-be videographers can always use broadly written laws that prohibit public disorder, interfering with a police officer, or similar ordinances that give law enforcement wide discretion.”
Recording police illegal in the US? Supreme Court’s refusal to review recent case suggests otherwise.

Hmm... I checked my account today and my safety level is blank. What does it mean? Am I in trouble? Am I no longer safe? Looks like I'm still viewable in public (1), so that's a good thing. Does it mean that someone is reviewing my account? I'm having an anxiety attack now.

For quite some time now, and especially after “normal humans” started using Facebook, that fun which unites us all became an extreme boredom of emptiness. Similarly, while Twitter was fun I'm 2007, it is now filled with spam and marketing. I was so fed up with the BS in social media that I kind of unplugged from it for a while.
But then came along this very fun and crazy people in a group named “Generation WTF” who are supremely active in sharing everything crazy and everything awesome. Visual culture requires no word yet it touches the soul. I often tell people, to appreciate art, you need only to look at it. Art is a form of communication by itself. If you don’t get it, then move on, that message is not for you. But if you do get it, then that is the message for you.
So if WTF communicates to you, read more WTF. That is all.

Vectora is the corporate font for SML Universe. SML picked it mostly for his love for Adrian Frutiger. Another criteria which makes Vectora special is that Frutiger designed it after realizing that there was a need for sans serif type that could be read easily at small sizes, which in many ways make it ideal for designers who love setting tiny type. Yet more of importance to SML, is that it is not a very popular font, as such the typography set by SML would not look like everyone else’s, yet its character has all the sweetness seen in other more popular Frutiger fonts such as of course the Frutiger and Avenir family. The only unfortunate thing with using a not-so-popular font is that it does not have the niceties which SML cares about, such as real small caps and figure numerals (aka x-height numerals). So SML is considering drawing his own some time soon unless of course Linotype would be so kind to consider creating Vectora Next or equivalent.

To help you get a sense of where everything is located, here is a screenshot of The Photographer Ephemeris (TPE), an iPad app which is designed for the landscape photographer to get the natural light source bearing as well as other goodies like shadow length etc.
The blue point is where I take most of the photos for the serenity series, where SML Universe HKG is located at. The great span of ocean is the Tolo Harbour in Hong Kong. And the pin point location is where Yim Tin Tsai [1] seen in the previous photo is located at.
The luxury residential area is midway between the golf club and the pin drop. It is actually quite far away from the burial grounds. Telephoto lens have a way of compressing distance so this is why you feel that they are very close away but in fact they are not.

There are many Twitter tools now that allow you to access multiple Twitter accounts at once but there is no tool available that I know of that give you an at-a-glance overview of Twitter RT mentions across multiple Twitter accounts. This pipe is created specifically to serve this purpose.
It uses the Twitter Search API to look for Twitter mentions of @smluniverse @smlbw @smlfineart @smlgfxdesign @sml_photography @seeminglee @crazy_is_good @smlmen @smlviz @lifecelebrates.
Tada! No more going into multiple Twitter accounts just to look at them. :)

It all started when Humble was six, with a rather gleefully coloured rendition of the Jabberwocky. Recognizing this art thang as a means to get the attention he was otherwise too shy to seek, he stuck with it despite not being very good. In high school, he was somehow talked into drawing an ongoing comic strip for his school magazine. With free reign in regards to content, and a school-wide audience, how could he possibly say no? Tragically, Possum Man only survived to his second adventure, before Humble grew weary of everyone asking, “What’s up with that guys hands?” Or “Did you mean to draw her face like that?”. From there it was straight out of high school and off to university to start a Bachelor of Arts. He flunked out within his first two years, after coming to the enlightened conclusion that getting stoned all day might actually be a viable career path.

The QNAP TS-869 Pro was recommended to me for a contender for a RAID 0+1 config for my photography storage. Questions:
1. Anyone with experience with QNAP?
2. RAID 0+1 was recommended to me over RAID 5/6. Thoughts?
3. What other manufacturers should I consider?
Your help is greatly appreciated. I am still shopping. This one is an enclosure and I intend to put Hitachi drives on it because I don’t trust anyone else.

Blender blender.org is my preferred 3d design environment. I use it on all platforms. It's free and once you get a hang of it you would never go back. Together with the abundance of python extensions written for it you can do magic. You can render things with insanely fabulous and super-fast results using the nVidia gelato engine blogs.nvidia.com/gelato/ which uses your nVidia video hardware as a hardware accelerator. Uber cool + free as well!!!

If you dreamt of going to Mars, here is your chance—but there is a catch: it is a one way ticket. According to BBC News, the Dutch organization Mars One will open applications imminently.
I sure would love to go, but I have a feeling that I would never past the physical test. But maybe you can? It is a chance of a lifetime.
Crazyisgood. SML Love.

gedit in dark tango theme. Best development environment IMHO. Somehow things are easier to edit against black background. Don't know why.
I have tried the many hacks to get Eclipse to do dark backgrounds but it takes a *lot* of work, and still can't quite do it nicely... gedit's shell integration and the python console is awesome. hard to beat for any other tools found in any OS. This is why even when I'm on Vista I still use virtualbox.org to have a Linux desktop open at all times.

Jonathan Nafarette (Listorious / Twitter / Web) submitted my social media Twitter list to Listorious (Twitter / Web). In turn, since I subscribe to my own Google Alerts, I was alerted about this interesting Twitter List tool.
Signing up for the service is easy. As a Twitter app, when you tried to login, it prompts you to "allow access" to your Twitter account and you're all set. No sign up, no registration.
Each lists contain the bio of the people on the list, and you can use tags to make your lists more followable. The service also implements a data analytics / ranking system which shows the Top 140 Lists as well as Top 140 Listed People - an interesting play on Twitter's 140 character limit.
The interface is clean and usable and is easily recommendable as a good resource for exploring Twitter Lists.

Just about a month ago, I had about 150 followers on FFFFound. I used to go on FFFFound mainly to look at stuff and add stuff to my collection.
Then I started posting stuff to FFFFound, many of which were discovered via subscribing to great feeds on FriendFeed.
So a big thank you for all of you on FriendFeed who share your inspiration with us on FriendFeed.

Tilda is the best darn thing for a geek's life. I really wish there's something similar in Windows + Mac but there's none. You can't beat a transparent overlay with a single-key open/close access. Here I use Compiz to blur the content behind the background to make things easier to read even in super-transparent mode.
