HIGHWAY TO HELL

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 13:00:00 -0700

Interesting story Willamette Week ran in 2005 about the resistance aginst the Mount Hood Freeway in the ’70s that completely reshaped the future of Portland away from other typical large metropolises. Invest in public transportation, not highways — what a novel idea.

That's Not Art:

New favorite tumblr:

People post ridiculous “art” to Tumblr which often consists of a photo with “meaningful” text overlaid. These pieces frequently make it into Popular. We reblog them here and call them out for being stupid.

I still contend that Illusion of Safety by Thrice is one of the best post-hardcore albums to date. BTW, this song is called Deadbolt, hmm…

Paige: hey!
Paige: do i have your book?
Paige: oh!
Paige: whoops. : P
Paige: guess that means we have to hang out again.
Paige: heh
Me: damn it I was hoping you'd send it to me in the mail
Paige: snail mail. page by page
Me: could you also draw naughty little sketches on each page?
Paige: big black cocks
Me: Maybe even a flip book out of each page
Me: awesome!
Me: what I always wanted.
Paige: every place the word design is mentioned
Paige: i will replace it with a black dick
Me: In the content inventory chapter I'd prefer to see boobs. Content inventory and boobs go together like peanut butter and jelly
Paige: good point. i had forgotten about that.
Me: dicks go great with wireframes.
Paige: hand in hand.
Me: Yea, probably answers the question as to why females are better at wireframes than males.
Paige: truly.

Autumn: well skanky comes along with desperate at often times

iPhone Alarm is Crap

Wed, 20 Feb 2008 10:21:31 -0800

For years, I’ve been relying on my mobile phone to double as an alarm. I’ve had many handsets, and with each one I’ve either had to a) Set more than one alarm because there was no built-in snooze function or b) It would work like a normal alarm, with a snooze button (usually the volume button).

The iPhone has a strange implementation of the alarm. It will pop up a snooze button when your alarm goes off, but after about 5 minutes it will stop and the snooze button remain, waiting for you to push it. Until you do, the alarm will not go off again. Am I the only who thinks this is strange? Shouldn’t it just keep going off until you press the snooze button, then wait 10 minutes, and go off again?

I can attribute being late to work on several occasions because of this weird implementation, like today. To solve this problem in the past, I’ve had 4 alarms set to go off on week days. But, I thought over the weekend I would try to go back to one alarm. Bad idea. Going back to the 4 alarms.
