SVG in a single post
I'm writing an abstract SVG (scalable vector graphics) generator- possibly part of a larger project. I've always been in love with SVG as a means of generating graphics. You can include it inline with HTML in most modern browsers, or run it through Batik to render it into a more traditional format (PNG ( Read more... ) -
Overthrowing Overtone
Hey, folks.
For a while now, I've been a little interested in Overtone and Emacs Live... but I haven't been particularly feeling the magic... for one thing, there are just too many hands in the pot. The "Emacs Live" experience is horribly unfamiliar, as it provides a "highly-cultivated Emacs experience" to somebody who already has a truly highly ( Read more... ) -
FARNHAM'S LEGEND 4: Chapters 7 and 8
Hey! Been a bit over a week. Not that I don't have a great love for this book... which is fantastic, but I accidentally discovered Nimona, and like a psychotic squirrel chased after it and tore into it and loved the crap out of it.
But, alas, Nimona doesn't have space, aliens, squids, the X-Universe, Brennan, Elena, or even Hegebalios. Also, ( Read more... ) -
FARNHAM'S LEGEND 3: Chapters 4, 5, and 6
Hoohey. I need to ramp on cranking these goodies out. These chapters are short, so let's cut right to the chase this time, readers.

FARNHAM'S LEGEND 2: Chapters 2 and 3
Rereading part of Sunday's post, it might be a little unclear... I do, absolutely, love this book no matter what lies ahead. Knowing the game and the Voxager album, any fun that gets poked here is meant with some pretty deep affection. Without further ado, bring on that horizontal rule...
Chapter 2:
Starts off with a quote from Sagan's Cosmos. ( Read more... ) -
FARNHAM'S LEGEND 1: The Beginning
Hey!
Long time, no see.
I was inspired by Ryan North's reading of Back to the Future, the novelization of the epic movie. In this case, I'm doing a blow-by-blow rockin' review of a book I'm personally pumped about-- Farnham's Legend by Helge Kautz. I picked up the English version from the Egosoft ShopAs a preface, I've absolutely loved the X- ( Read more... ) -
Recent Activities
In recent years, I've been keeping a paper journal to keep track of my "taking" activities (explained here). Folks have been asking lately what I read and watch, so I thought it a good idea to take inventory.

Some Vacuous, Grandiose Words
So, it's been a while since updates have happened. Much is still the same (hence, no updates). I've started myriad projects to kinda leave 'em by the wayside. But, I realized that for programmers, languages are game engines and data structures are worlds. Methods or functions are actions and variables are characters. Programming is a game and it's ( Read more... ) -
Hobby Lobby Wins...
It's time for me to tear apart another article... so, in your face Mother Jones.
Ruth Bader Ginsberg had some quotes that this content-monger thought were appropriate.
"The exemption sought by Hobby Lobby and Conestoga would…deny legions of women who do not hold their employers' beliefs access to contraceptive coverage"
So, my biggest gripe ( Read more... )
