comcast

fuck you comcast. My internet is so slow tonight it makes me long for dial up.

I hate you.

In other news, I'm forced to watch broadcast television and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is on, I gotta say Michelle Monaghan is very pretty.

what to charge (photograph)

So I get an email from someone who wants to purchase the rights of one of my flickr photos to use for a "funny project" .

He just wants the rights to use it - not exclusive or anything like that.

Since I am (clearly) not a professional photographer, I have no idea what to ask for as far as money is concerned.

This is the photo in question:

Wonderful photographs, but:

About this project:
"My work with the British show Whippet - a dog bred to an ideal standard - focuses particularly on the evolution of the visual image of the Whippet, and the construction of human identity through the shaping of the figure of the dog."

Can some of you smart people explain this part to me:

"...construction of human identity through the shaping of the figure of the dog."

thanks.

Twin Cities Designers

This was sent out to the flash user's group and I, being the kindly soul I am, thought I would pass it along to all you Twin Cities people on the QBN.

I have no details about this other than it is by my place, so I am considering going.

nemesis

I think everyone needs a nemesis to get the most out of life. A neighbor, a co-worker, that kid who was mean to you in 5th grade and you just can't let it go... someone.

I don't have one and I've decided I need one, but am not really sure how to go about cultivating/finding one. I thin it is almost like finding the love of your life, sometimes it just happens, sometimes you have to work for it. I';m thinking about making this guy my nemesis: Guillermo "Habacuc" Vargas because he obviously needs something to occupy his time and battling my attempts to destroy his life and career would probably take up a decent amount of his time. (guillermohabacucvargas.blogspot…

Do you have a nemesis? if so who is it (if you feel like sharing), and how did you acquire them? I'm not talking about petty internet beefs here, i'm talking about a real world, my goal in life is to make this person miserable, but I have not succeeded at it yet nemesis.

weird otf font issue - PC

So a little while ago on my stupid PC I ran their system update thing and downloaded the security patches and all that.

This weekend I opened an illy file that I had worked on previous to this patching and I get the font substitution dialog box.

I look to see that it is no longer in the available font list and I click on the font in the fonts folder to open it and get the error that says "this file ... is not a valid font file" The file is recognized as a valid file on my back-up PC.

So I am thinking it has to do with something in the patches, but I can not uninstall them and using system recovery to go back before the update doesn't seem to work either.

What the hell... has anyone experienced something like this? Any ideas?

As a side note the type1 version is fine on my mac too - so it is just the patched machine.

man, I love this country

http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/04/17…

The U.S. government paid more than $1.7 million in defense contracts over the last decade to companies owned by leaders of Warren Jeffs' polygamous sect -- with tens of thousands allegedly winding its way back to Jeffs and his church.

In fact, some of the deals were made after Jeffs was named to the FBI's "Most-Wanted List" and remained in place while he was on the run.

$399 Mac

How very interesting - a non-branded mac.

"The highly extensible Open Computer is a configuration of PC hardware capable of running unmodified OS X Leopard kernels."
-Unmodified is the key word there.
