I rediscovered a great article which talked about the mosquito (or near ultrasonic) range of frequencies young people use for their ringtones as to not alert “adults” should their phones “ring” in class.

Truly disappointing
Eye-candy statistics
I was a bit bored a while ago, so I thought I’d just try to duplicate how this certain guy made his really cool pie-charts. There were so many comments asking how he did it even if they looked pretty simple to do (aside from having to actually conceptualize them of course). I even ended up making a template for it – for when I’ll use it (of which I have no friggin’ idea hahaha). In any case, just like the original guy did, I took information of visitors’ browser resolutions 1 I guess for the image to have some value however small – to prove that my decision to abandon 800×600 was the correct choice. from Mint’s Agent 007 pepper 2 A Mint plugin is called a “Pepper.”. I just did one chart though, since it was time consuming.
Constantly evolving
Between the time between I last posted about any added “feature” on the site, and this post; rhere have been a whole bunch of modifications on the backend which may not be noticeable to end users, but have been constantly making things easier for them (and myself) to play or browse around the site and its sections.
How evil the RIAA is
On a more serious note, here’s a an audio sample of Ray Beckerman talking about the RIAA law suits. DefectiveByDesign.org, as it’s name implies is also against DRM 1 Digital Rights Management itself, on grounds that I will not discuss in this post. But the bigger issue of the RIAA suing innocent people is what’s being discussed. You can skip the introduction by Peter Brown and go directly to what Mr. Beckerman is saying (at about a minute and 47 seconds into the clip)
In case you need it, the transcript’s available here. If you live in the United States, please spread the word. Hell, even if you aren’t, spread it anyways. Digital copyright laws are bound to affect us one way or the other no matter where we live. Read More
