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.
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.

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).
Hacking a digital bathroom scale to use as a general-purpose weight sensor or input device.

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.

So, the main news headlines in the UK is the phone hacking saga of press reporters.
Did they hack the phones of murder victims and their families?
Did they hack the phones of celebrities?
One thing its made me realise is that I'd make a very bad reporter.
I really don't care that much about celebrities
and I can't for the life of me imagine what gossip I'd get out of phone hacking the families of murder victims.

Hacker: "originally, someone who makes furniture with an axe", according to The Jargon File.
I think this shutter was made by a hacker... who use the axe to paint it, too.
Since the first 7 points of the hacker definition can also be used to describe myself, I bought this fancy toy to restore the original hacker work. After all, a sander called "Mouse" is perfect for a hacker... the problem is I'm always trying to turn the wheel ;-)
I've a heavy duty sander (8 kg!) which is good to sand the keel of an aircraft carrier (if you can find a wood one), but it is not very appropriate for small details.
I've seen this small sander at our local version of Home Depot for 35 euro, but it was out of stock and the clerk suggested me to visit the other shop, 50 km away. Before to waste a couple of hours and 7,50 euro of gasoline I asked him to check the inventory on their network, and he stared at me just like I've demanded a spare hadron collider. So I came home, check on eBay and found the same sander in Rome for 1 euro less, shipping included.
Next time I'll check eBay before to go to the shop... so I'll save another 15 km.
Now I guess you want to know the strobist infos...
- lens: SMC Pentax-DA 16-45mm F4.0 ED/AL
- flash on the left: Hanimex TZ1 in tele mode with standard diffuser - 0.13 GBP (yes! 0.16 euro!) on eBay
- left trigger: cactus like
- flash on the right: Vivitar 3500 Thiristor in wide mode, without diffuser - this one far more expensive, 10.50 GBP (13.26 euro) on eBay
- right trigger: ebay optical slave
See the setup below for the flash positions.
If you want to see the shutter "before" version, it had the same ugly color of the rest of this door.

Hacker: "originariamente, qualcuno che costruiva mobili con un'ascia", secondo The Jargon File.
Penso che questo scuro sia stato fatto da un hacker... che ha usato l'ascia pure per pitturarlo.
Visto che i primi 7 punti della definizione di hacker possono essere anche usati per descrivere me, ho comprato questo bel giocattolino per restaurare il lavoro originale dell'hacker. Dopotutto, una levigatrice chiamata "Mouse" è perfetta per un hacker... il problema è che cerco sempre di girare la rotella ;-)
Ho una levigatrice pesante (8 kg!) che sarebbe buona per levigare la chiglia di una portaerei (se ne trovate una in legno), ma che non è molto appropriata per i piccoli dettagli.
Ho visto questa piccola levigatrice in una negozio di bricolage a 35 euro, ma era esaurita e il commesso mi ha suggerito di visitare l'altro negozio della catena, a 50 km di distanza. Prima di perderci un paio d'ore e 7.50 euro di benzina gli ho chiesto di verificare l'inventario sulla loro rete, e mi ha guardato come se gli avessi chiesto un collisore di adroni. Così me ne sono tornato a casa, ho guardato su eBay ed ho trovato la stessa levigatrice a Roma, per 1 euro meno spedizione compresa.
La prossima volta guarderò su eBay prima di andare fino al negozio... per risparmiare altri 15 km.
Ora immagino vorrete conoscere le info strobiste:
- ottica: SMC Pentax-DA 16-45mm F4.0 ED/AL
- flash a sinistra: Hanimex TZ1 in modo tele mode with diffusore standard - 0.13 GBP (si! 0.16 euro!) su eBay
- trigger a sinistra: tipo cactus
- flash a destra: Vivitar 3500 Thiristor in modo wide, senza diffusore - questo molto più costoso, 10.50 GBP (13.26 euro) on eBay
- trigger a destra: servoflash ottico preso su ebay
Guardatevi il setup più sotto per le posizioni dei flash.
Se volete sapere com'era lo scuro "prima", aveva lo stesso colore angoscioso del resto di questa porta.
