“To Serve Man”
Hey everybody! There’s still some Kool-Aid in the punch bowl!
I mean, they’re backed by Goldman Sachs. What could go wrong? It’s not like they’ve ever deceived their own clients. Oh, wait.
I remember when Groupon was getting ready to get bough by Google. But, their finance guy blabbed about it and Google pulled out within hours of learning about the leak.

Stopping “Dev Only” Assets in their Tracks
This is a novel approach to solving a problem I’ve others mention on more than one occasion.
All the various W3C html specs mandate a value for the src attribute of the
It’s a good way of reducing the number of orphaned files we have to worry about as one of the primary causes of the file structure expansion is the propagation of image files that are discarded during the development process.
I used it here because this is an ideal example of such an instance; I have, however, reverted the value of the src attribute from MIME data back to a URI pointer. Sorry for not including an explanation; I didn’t realize it, but this must be an obscure subject. Please accept my humble apology for any resulting confusion.
I’ve included below the encoded MIME data for reference.

It also helps me keep perspective on how big the image data is. Helpful for mobile browser development.

“Worst Investment Ever” – Carl Icahn, Blockbuster’s Largest Shareholder
“I don’t even–we have such different business models … I think we co-exist quite well with Netflix.” - Blockbuster CEO Jim Keyes
I seriously laughed out loud when I saw this quote. The photo is funny too.

New Versus Classic Koch
Heres something for your “can this possibly be for real” file this morning. Over at the Buffalo Beast — the former print alt-weekly turned online newspaper founded by onetime editor Matt Taibbi, typically best known for its annual list of “The 50 Most Loathsome Americans” — there appear to be recordings of a phone call between Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and current editor Ian Murphy. Now, why on earth would Scott Walker want to talk on the phone with the editor of an online site in Buffalo? Well, he wouldnt.

Sprint CDMA Rev. A in Santa Monica
If you don’t look at the latency (“ping”) this could be an old school ADSL on copper – pretty cool.
I hope to soon go back to the intersection of Fedora and Olympic (in my previous tests the strongest WiMAX signal between downtown Los Angeles and the beach) to see how the signal is with the Sprint SmartView on Windows XP. I’d checked it out using the “roll your own” Intel WiMAX software compiled for Ubuntu. It took two weeks just to get the drivers and HAL operating in Debian. And I had to run a nightly Linux kernel.
One interesting observation was that CLEAR (the actual service provider) was operating three other channels in addition to their own. Obviously, Sprint was in there, and, not surprisingly, Verizon had a channel. But what was shocking was to see that there was a listing in the for TimeWarner Cable!! Apparently TWC plans to use CLEAR WiMAX private label service at some point. How weird!
