OK Go - This Too Shall Pass - Rube Goldberg Machine version - Official (via OkGo)

I kind of use this blog as my own ‘repository of internet stuff’ as much as anything else. I wanted to make sure I kept this video around, so that if anyone ever tried to show me a music video that they thought was cool, I could immediately trump them.

Steve Jobs (by Roberto_Garcia)

Unadorned white cup; simple, circular black table; industrial-style chairs; angular, geometric architecture. I bet this guy has enough money to make everything around him in his life look like this.

It’s made its rounds on the internet today, but this video is classic. A tribute to doing it wrong.

When I have a million dollars, my desk will look precisely like this. Minus all the wires, because by the time I have a million dollars everything will be wireless (and we’ll finally have flying cars).

“One melancholy thought occurs as my fingers glide and flow over the surface of this astonishing object: Douglas Adams is not alive to see the closest thing to his Hitchhiker’s Guide that humankind has yet devised.”

All signs point to Ella being much more like the original Calvin than the one depicted here, which I’m fully in support of.

This picture has been up in my cube since Christmas. I can’t believe Craig Rupp was the first person to make the “family portrait” joke about it.

FIXED IT!!!

Accessing Mac OS X Windows Sharing from Windows 7

Windows 7 will not work with Mac OS X Windows file sharing support by default. If you attempt to access a folder shared from Mac OS X, Vista will display a logon error repeatedly. The problem is that Vista, by default, will only use NTLMv2 for authentication, which is not supported by Mac OS X’s Windows Sharing service. The other problem is the Minimum Session Security for NTVLM SSP based Clients. To get around this:

1. In Vista, open the Control Panel
2. Switch to “Classic” view
3. Double-click Administration Tools
4. Double-click Local Security Policy
5. Or Secpol.msc
6. Expand “Local Policies” and select “Security Options”
7. Alternate : Type secpol.msc to get editor up then
8. Locate “Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication Level” in the list and double-click it.
9. Change the setting from “Send NTMLv2 response only” to “Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session if negotiated”
10. Network Security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP Based (including secure RPC) Clients
11. Change the setting from “require 128 bit” to unchecked (No Minimum)
12. Click OK the real difference between vista and windows 7 procedure is 10 and 11

I’m a PC, and terribly complicated file sharing in Windows 7 was my idea.

Speed Comparison

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 10:18:52 -0600

Regular typing: 90 WPM
iPhone - Vertical keyboard: 50 WPM
iPhone - Horizontal keyboard: 45 WPM
Handwriting: 40 WPM

Interesting that writing by hand is the slowest of them all. Also interesting that I can type faster on an iPhone now than I could on a regular keyboard in high school.
