At the COBA meeting last night, Harold brought his Mac mini to help with the monitor profiling presentation. Similarly, I transported my Quicksilver PowerMac and my 17″ Studio Display. A quick glance might lead one to think that the PowerMac is the more powerful of the two computers, but nothing…

Monitor and Printer Profiling — closing the color management loop — was the feature presentation during the February 9, 2005, COBA meeting. I’ve been wanting to get my 17″ Studio Display and my 12″ PowerBook monitors profiled correctly for quite some time. Though I have a ColorVision Optical Spyder (a…

It was said that it couldn’t be done. Well boys and girls, it’s here! Actually, Einstein has been around publicly for over a month, and I didn’t even realize it! The Einstein Emulator (DR2) emulates an Apple Newton MessagePad 2×00 or an eMate 300 on Mac OS X (with X11…

Wired News is running an article by Leander Kahney on the Gigapxl camera by Graham Flint and Catherine Aves. They spoke at COBA in July of last year, wowing the crowd with their higher-than-high resolution images. There’s even a quote from me in the article: “Graham’s unique background has made…

Congrats to the Patriots for winning their third Super Bowl in four years. I hated Pats back when they beat the Rams in 2002, but I have grown to respect and admire the team. Next year, however, no more championships for the New England/Boston area! I’m rooting for my —…

Kaplaaa! I’ve succeeded in transferring most of my old photojournal entries into WordPress! The process was greatly simplified after I wrote an AppleScript to handle each post. The script parsed two files used by my old entries: (1) an XML configuration file containing the post’s title, publish date, and header…

Zhang Lingmei, a former wushu champion and current instructor, held a Wushu Open House this afternoon in San Francisco. A number of our friends were performing, including Jen, Felicia, Steven, and Ben. Rae and I were fortunate to snag some front-row seats; I thought they’d be all taken since it…

Continue reading →: Site Redesign
Well, it’s finally done! I’ve been meaning to redesign tow.com for what seems like an eternity. My old custom content management system was getting quite creaky and unwieldy. The site is now powered by WordPress, a “state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability.”…

Frankly, I thought this day would never come: MacGyver on DVD!!! I once tried getting the series on VCD’s via eBay, but I lost out on the bid. My patience has paid off—I will soon have the entire 7-season collection in pristine-DVD quality! It’s funny, but most people growing up…
