Another dream about teeth. This time it was like they were transparent containers that had white liquid in them. And the liquid was running out so I just had the clear teeth. Very bizarre.

Despite having a kinda lame website, this game Limbo looks like it's going to have really great aesthetic quality. Also, the gameplay seems rad. Can't wait.

This week Brent and I made homopolar motors that were actually pretty neat.

Last week Brent rigged up a homemade etching machine. You basically get something metal, sand it a bit, then cover up the parts you don't want etched with tape. Then you put it in a basin of salt water with some electrode stuff going into it and then the magic takes over. We got kinda mixed results. It didn't work that well, but it was definitely the most extensive / suspenseful experiment yet.

What about next week?!? I think we're going to try and make hydrogen and fill a baloon or something? We'll see though.

They should make a beer called "The Mondays", so having a case of The Mondays wouldn't be a bad thing.

Yesterday I went and saw this guy Jay Ryan talk about screen printing. He mostly prints posters for bands, but has ventured out to other stuff, like book covers and album covers, etc. Compared to the prints he brought in, the images on his website look like crap, but it's a good taste. Check it out!

Uh oh! I think I lost my phone. BUT two and a half years seems like a good run.

Driving in the snow is like playing video games with a broken controller only the stakes are much higher.

Peel is a really slick program that hunts down mp3s from mp3 blogs and allows you to easily add them to iTunes. Great way to find new music. Mac only.

I think it'd be neat to be able to point to and comment on a specific part of a video. Kind of like Flickr's notes idea.

I was also thinking it'd be nice to show little notifications if there were comments on part as you were watching it. This has a lot of potential to be really annoying if not designed properly. But, I think if it's done right it could be neat.

It kind of seems like this idea is good on paper, but wouldn't add very much when actually applied. I think it'd be hard to judge unless it was prototyped and tested a little. Good mini project to work on.

The interface of Flight404 is really nice. If they added scroll wheel functionality it'd be even better.

Check it out at NPR.

Once we start traversing the universe, and inhabiting different planets in other galaxies, it's going to be neat to stumble upon ancient planetary civilizations.

"The WET Lamp is an elegant and playful series of glass lamps with an alluring water-submerged light bulb at its center. Putting an exposed light bulb in water certainly raises some eyebrows, but it also creates an intriguingly simple dimmer switch. When a thin silver rod is slid into the water, the WET Lamp turns on and becomes progressively brighter as the rod is submerged." link
