Narm t-shirts for sale
For the SFU fans, Narm t-shirts are for sale.
iPod nano
The iPod nano comes in 2gb and 4gb sizes, with a colour screen and click wheel. It looks like a great trade-off between capacity and form-factor. I’ll likely get a nano or a shuffle in the fall.
What’s happening
I’ve been keeping myself busy working on a number of different web projects and helping people move, so this site has been neglected a little bit. At some point, I need to clean up my mess of a stylesheet. I’ve also been meaning to overhaul flickrRSS for awhile. Hopefully, it’ll come up in the next little while. Marc has been messing around with the flickr api, it’s provided some inspiration to redo my plugin. Ideally, it needs to stay really simple — flickrRSS just works for most people as a simple badge.
I’ve also realized that it’s September. I don’t know how that happened or when summer disappeared. Regardless, I’ve been trying to enjoy the last vestiges of warmth and sunlight outdoors before the wonderful Canadian winter is upon us.
While I’m off on a personal entry, I’ll take this moment to endorse a few different objects for consumption: The Shield, Rome, Weeds, March of Penguins, The Editors, The Cribs. Three television shows, a movie and two bands. That will be all for now.

One in 18 have a third nipple
Scientistists have been investigating a gene linked to breast development in hopes of finding links to cancer. The gene is called Scaramanga, after a James Bond villain with three nipples. The article also states that one in eighteen people have a third nipple that looks like a mole or freckle.
Duplicate Scrabble
Duplicate Scrabble is a version of the game that is played mostly in French speaking countries. Every player has their own board and uses the same tile set on each term, essentially eliminating luck and strategy. Try it out using the open-source JDuplicate.
New Orleans satellite photos
Here’s a large satellite image of New Orleans taken on August 31st (before). The image is about 3mb, so it might take awhile on slower connections. This site has some comparative imagery of the city but at a lower resolution.
USB powered Mazda
Mazda’s new concept car uses a USB key instead of a standard cylinder key lock to start the ignition. The key can also transfer driving instructions and music to the car’s harddrive.
flickrRSS update
Flickr has changed the location of photos and it’s borked a few scripts. I’ve updated flickrRSS, it should work now.
