Artist’s Guide to Human Types

2010-01-16T19:28:32+00:00

I recently discovered the Artist’s Guide to Human Types. It’s an amazing info graphic that classifies and provides a guide to the different “human types” that evolved over time.

I spent a while trying to find my best fit. I believe I would be classified as Slavic. I have a distinct lack of hair on my stomach, long arms and trunk compared to legs, and a light beard compared to my hair. It’s not perfect; for instance, my eyes don’t match the generic light grey or blues, but it’s pretty fascinating to read through.

Don’t forget to check out the addendum.

Download, Upload, and Copyright

2010-01-04T23:22:51+00:00

According to fair-use doctrine it is legal to download copywritten content. It is illegal, however, to upload the content as you are sharing it without license.

What is more interesting to me is that it is illegal to share even part of copywritten content. It makes sense that it is illegal to hand out full copies of a show or movie that you have no right to distribute. What doesn’t make sense is the illegality of sharing 5% or 1% of a file.

The line is not drawn ever because, really, how can you decide where the line should be drawn. Why would 10% be legal but 11% be a violation of copyright law.

It is, however, funny that by sharing a single byte I could be fined for violating copyright. How can you prove that was your byte? Further, what makes one show’s 0b11 different from another show’s 0b11?

Joke of the Day - Confession

2009-11-15T15:21:25+00:00

Tommy went to confession on Friday and said, “Forgive me Father, for I have sinned.”
“What are your sins, my son?”
“I kissed a girl after school yesterday.”
“Who was it, Tommy?”
“I cannot tell you Father, I would feel bad.”
“Was it Mary Donovan?” he asked.
“No Father, please forgive me, but I cannot tell you who it was.”
“Was it Catherine McKenzie?”
“No Father,” he replied.
“Well then it has to be Sarah Martha O’Keefe?”
“No Father, please forgive me, I cannot tell you who it was.”
“Okay, Tommy, I want you to say five Hail Mary’s and four Our Fathers for your sin.”
So Tommy walked out to the pews where his friend Joseph was waiting.
“What did ya get?” asked Joseph.
“I got five Hail Marys, four Our Fathers, and three good leads.”

Joke of the Day - Five Word Minimum

2009-11-09T16:24:06+00:00

The newspaper obituary operator received a phone call. The elderly woman on the other end asked, “How much do funeral notices cost?”
“Five dollars per word, ma’am,” came the response.
“Good, do you have a paper and pencil handy?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Okay, write this: ‘Bill died.’”
“I’m sorry, ma’am, I forgot to tell you there’s a five-word minimum.”
“Hmmph,” came the reply. “You certainly did forget to tell me that.”
After a moment of silence, the woman continued, “Got your pencil and paper?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Okay, print this: ‘Bill died. Car for sale.’”

Windows 7

2009-10-25T16:53:19+00:00

I installed my $30 copy of Windows 7 Professional on Saturday. So far, so good; it’s streamlined and fast, a very solid release. That being said, I never really had any issues with Windows Vista so I’m unsure if I’m a good test case for the usability of an OS.

Personally, I think that most the Windows Vista complaints were people upset with change, no matter how big or small. These are the same people who complain whenever Facebook updates its layout.

Has anyone else installed Windows 7 this past week? If so, what did you think of it? If not, why?

Joke of the Day - Flu

What’s the difference between Swine Flu and Bird Flu?

Swine flu needs an oinkment, and bird flu requires a tweetment.

It is clearly nap time.

Toy Story 3-D

2009-10-03T16:04:53+00:00

I saw Toy Story 1 and 2 in 3-D last night and it was amazing amounts of fun. It’s a limited engagement running for two weeks beginning yesterday, October 2nd.

If you have the three and a half hours to spare and a theatre with a 3-D projector I really recommend going. The 3-D is very subtly and beautifully done and it really makes for a great time.

The movies really stand the test of time, they are as good now as I remember them being when I first saw them over ten years ago. I felt like they were even updated beyond the third dimension in some parts, with new jokes and some new dialogue, but I can’t find any evidence of this online. There was a blooper reel at the end of Toy Story 2 that was just hilarious and there was a trailer for Toy Story 3 which will be coming out this summer, also in 3-D. It looks great; I can’t wait for its release.

So far I’ve only seen Pixar 3-D movies and I haven’t been disappointed yet. Has anyone seen a live action film in 3-D for comparison? I am so glad the effects have been done gracefully and not gimmicky. It really feels like an evolution of films, as big as going from black and white to color pictures.

Roger Ebert Reviews

2009-08-08T19:34:08+00:00

I’ve just recently discovered the joy of reading Roger Ebert‘s movie reviews. He really has a gift for written word.

For instance his scathing review of the new G.I. Joe movie contains these delights:

“G. I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” is a 118-minute animated film with sequences involving the faces and other body parts of human beings. It is sure to be enjoyed by those whose movie appreciation is defined by the ability to discern that moving pictures and sound are being employed to depict violence.

and

What is Cobra? What nationality are its leaders, other than Scottish? What will it gain by destroying world capitols? Reader, I do not know. Even the U.S. President (Jonathan Pryce) asks incredulously, “Don’t they have any demands?” His role is otherwise limited to being briefed about the Joes.

It is truly a pleasure to read Ebert rant and rave about films.
