WP Tiger style dashboard

While wait­ing to start on some real work, I get to play with Word­press: I’m not really sure whether I like the appli­ca­tion approach to what really are web­pages but it sure as hell is one tasty-looking dash­board. The power of CSS, yay. Con­tinue read­ing

[DK] Ekstra Bladet: Luskede paparazier

Why All Headphones (might) Suck

Word of advice from Tod Maf­fin over at I Love Radio: Why All Head­phones Suck.In sum­mary: Your lis­ten­ers might lis­ten to your show through reg­u­lar speak­ers — so that’s how you should mix your show. Which sort of makes this only true for the typ­i­cal radio show pro­ducer; the rest of are more or less specif­i­cally tar­get­ting the head­phones crowd. Con­tinue read­ing

Police guidelines: aim for the head

Boing Boing: New police guide­lines: shoot sui­cide bomber sus­pects in head (reported heav­ily a lot of other places).Following the recent killing of an inno­cent elec­tri­cian in Lon­don, the ‘sus­pected’ part makes you think.Beside (as noted in the Boing Boing post) mak­ing me recon­sider my choice of cloth­ing — maybe I should just stay indoors, keep­ing my skin pale, and go for a more innocent-looking touristy non-gadget-carrying style — it seems as if this approach is incred­i­bly short-sighted.For how long exactly will suicide-bombers con­tinue to look sus­pi­cious prior to set­ting off their bombs?

Self-help; Business

All of us wannebe-hackers seem to find great joy in the fact, that every­thing in life actu­ally is hack­able; you can tweak your habits and your mind just as you can tweak your data­base or your OS of choice.GTD, ‘hacker’-blogs and var­i­ous books on self-hacking is all the rage, and I cer­tainly have read my part of the almost oblig­a­tory list of must-reads.

RAW workflow with iPhoto

Since I got my D70s I’ve been try­ing to find a decent solu­tion for still using iPhoto as the pri­mary show­box but unleash­ing the power of RAW (no, not the power of Ra although that is a good tune).Problem is, while iPhoto offi­cially under­stands RAW now, it doesn’t seem to like the Nikon ver­sion (stan­dards, pleeeease).
