Michigan Govt Shuts Down
Apparently there is a law in Michigan that the state govt cannot function while the budget isn’t balanced. Unfortunately it’s one of the most economically depressed states and it seems that is exactly what has happened. It looks like the governor proposed a “comprehensive” list of items to bring them out of this budget crisis 7 [...]

29. September 2007
This is the name of Naomi Wolf’s original article by the same name. Carolyn Baker wrote a very interesting article analyzing not only Wolf’s original article, but changes that have slowly been occuring in our nation during this “twilight” where things seem to be staying the same, but every-so-slightly are actually changing. Wolf’s list of [...]

29. September 2007
Awesome, AT&T (”God”) has handed down it’s new Terms of Service (TOS) to all it’s customers (yes YOU, all of you that bought an iPhone): From now on, AT&T can terminate your connection for conduct that “tends to damage the name or reputation of AT&T, or its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries.” So yea, AT&T loves you all, [...]

29. September 2007
Since when did Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune turn out to be the eye-candy galore game for the PS3? The shading (and HDR?) is unbelievable in these scenes, look at the foliage in the 2nd screenshot both in the foreground and in the distance… the textures and lighting look just amazing. The odd thing was that from all [...]

28. September 2007
Title is a little over dramatic… but scroll through this collection of police-abuse-videos and see what you think. Please don’t think I’m saying everyone on that page was totally innocent… I can certainly understand if a cop asks some kid to stop skate boarding and the kid flips him off, he’s going to get choked… [...]

28. September 2007
Todd Swarthout sent in that Larry Flynt, the founder of Hustler Magazine has gotten so sick of the corruption and double-talking of the “moral majority” that he’s offering a $1 million reward for anyone that can provide irrefutable evidence of adultering or sexually deviant government officials. You can read this to get an idea of the [...]

28. September 2007
This is gold. Essentially more than 1/2 the members of the house don’t show up when voting is taking place, so what the other members do is run around the room voting for them by clicking the vote buttons on their desks. According to house rules, it’s illegal and subject to discipline and is enforced by [...]

27. September 2007
Incase you were wondering, VE3D has the scoop. Halo 3, in all it’s last-gen glory is running at 640p, meaning 640-vertical lines. The XBox then takes the image and scales it to whatever you have the console’s output set to. The best part, incase you didn’t already notice, is that it does no post-processing on the image [...]

I just noticed this, but the Gmail Blog mentions that the Google Calendar team has rolled out support for the iPhone in the form of a nicely formatted Google Calendar interface specifically for the iPhone’s screen. Just visit http://calendar.google.com from your iPhone:

27. September 2007
Pretty much spot-on. Clinton points out how the Republicans feigned anger at the MoveOn ad to simply get the flashlight off of Iraq and everything else going on in the White House from a day-to-day basis.

26. September 2007
This is interesting… in the sense that Jack was actually trying to make a point. He feels that the judge covering the case against him practicing law in Florida, is in cahoots with a gay lawyer that owns NationalGayNews. In an attempt to discredit the lawyer and claim that he tries to push pornography on [...]

26. September 2007
Apparently every year there are common flaws that HDTVs exhibit. For example, back in the early days HDTVs didn’t deinterlace signals correctly, then there was actual 1080-to-1080 mapping problems, then motion blurring and so on. Although every year that goes by those general problems get fixed and get better and new problems are found. According to [...]

For the GNOME users out there moving to the new GNOME 2.20, you’ll probably notice the new “Gummy” look and feel that essentially boils down to a polished ClearLooks theme: Original ClearLooks New ‘Gummy’ Theme For the folks in the group that love the new theme except the crappy gradient on the tabs, Marco Barisione has put [...]
