I'm Tal Atlas. I'm currently finishing up my masters in microelectronic materials after getting a Physics BS at Colorado School of Mines. I'm a hobbyist photographer and Rails programmer. This is a collection of random things I find intresting from across the web.
Man the Yankee’s parade really screwed me. Had to take a nasty detour though Chinatown and wound up ruining my derailer. Had to walk the rest of the way to work.

If that’s fiber optics I would totally twist it and invert the image. And I would pay SOOO much to have it. (via applearts:Interior design room: 08/09/08)

Blackbook automates the nitty-gritty of importing contacts from various services and files and exporting them as VCard, XML, or simple Hash. Utilize those contacts from services like AOL, GMail, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail or CSV to help your social networking site become GIGANTIC overnight! You’ll be able to get big and sell for millions before anyone figures out it’s just like every other social network.

Looking back over human history, rationality has been the anomaly. Being rational takes work, education, and a sober determination to avoid making hasty inferences, even when they appear to make perfect sense. Much like infectious diseases themselves — beaten back by decades of effort to vaccinate the populace — the irrational lingers just below the surface, waiting for us to let down our guard.

The one thing the iPhone desperately needs is an “under the covers laying on your side trying to do stuff without disturbing the other people* in the bed auto-rotate override” mode.
Someone get on that, would you?
*Yeah, what about it?

YES TOTALLY. Every morning, before I get up, I check e-mail and twitter from bed, but trying not to disturb my sleeping husband. The auto rotate drives me nuts!


Jailbreak your iphone and install SBPrefs and Rotation inhibitor. An awesome tool.

This doesn’t make any sense. An ohm is a unit not a quantity. Something cannot be related to ohm. It should be resistance is futile: (if < 1 ohm).

I wouldn’t mind this distinction except that the person who wrote this knew enough about what happens when resistivity is less than one ohm but didn’t get the unit distinction.
