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.
I need to write fun and accurate job descriptions. I fell into the lazy trap - write a corporate job description - and surprise... near zero applicants.
Time for a hack!
We're CSS/HTML'izing what you see above (complete with hand-written notes et al)... this is what folks will see when they go to the job posting.
Stay tuned. It should be CSS'ified by Monday.
Thanks to Paul for his neat handwriting and Mike for his CSS jedi skillz... Mike, Paul and I co-authored the hack.

I though, a German beer will help me through the week.
Oh, well. Tomorrow (Friday) is another day :-)
Nice beer though, I love them swing tops.

Why having a back-up of your Dark Souls 3 game is important, and how it can help protect against unpleasant invasions.
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.

5. Tabblo. This is kind of an unusual one. Maybe not so much of a hack, but it sure feels like one. Tabblo is a photosharing site that allows you the ability to customize the feel, layout, tone and design of your photo page. The yin and the yang of Flickr is that everyone's pages look the same. On the one hand this gives Flickr a very elegant, almost like a virtual art gallery or museum feel. On the other hand sometimes people want more customization over how their photos are presented. Some companies like SmugMug make this customization part of how they diferentiate from Flickr. Flickr is torn because while you might like to give users more control over the design of the photos, if you're not careful, the next thing you know the place ends up looking like MySpace.
Enter Tabblo. Tabblo uses the Flickr API to import your photos into their site and then allows you the ability to design a page however you like. The nice thing about Tabblo is that unlike SmugMug the site is free and with a direct Flickr import function makes it super easy to design special custom pages using your Flickr photos. Here's a tabblo with some of my shots from New Orleans last year.
