Round-one knockout

Already popping up on blogs everywhere (for instance, Erik Barzeski brought it up, as did Brian from Unsanity), the debate has been over for about 45 minutes.
Kerry won. Totally.
Kerry came across as cool, calm, collected, and organized. Bush came across as shuffling, inconsistent, and just generally unprepared. He said “it’s hard work” […]

Wardrobe Malfunction

I know it’s been 8 months since we all got to see far more of Janet Jackson’s right tit than we wanted to, but the money is going to start flowing. The FCC has fined Viacom $550,000 for losing control of her nipple during the Super Bowl.

menuPod, etc.

I wrote a neat little app that lets you eject iPods from the menu bar. It’s called menuPod. I’m unsure whether I’m going to release it under Wonder Warp or not. That’s the icon.

In my second Electoral College-related post today/of all time, I look at how much of the popular vote a candidate needs to become president. This is based off of statistical data from the 2000 US Census and simple data derived from Microsoft Excel, using simple mathematics.
While the preciseness of the percentage I will give […]

Electoral Vote Projection

Current projection has Kerry up by 40 votes. And it’s apparently based on real polls.
Hah. Yeah right. But we can dream.

Math geeks only!
I think I’ve come up with a practical application of the 3rd derivative. My pre-calc teacher agrees with me.
Our application revolves around a car. When the gas pedal is pressed and held at a constant rate, the engine accelerates the car. The 2nd derivative is the rate of acceleration. […]

Apple has recently started an affiliate program for iTunes. And I’m now a member. If you’re going to buy something and want to be nice to me, you can point your browser to http://www.amazingsyco.com/itunes/ (bookmark it!), and just click in your web browser to automatically be pointed to the iTunes Music Store.
There is […]

Frylock Icon

I’ve recently discovered the brilliant animated comedy show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force. My favorite character, Frylock, is a thing of french fries and a goatee. I was bored and created an icon of him. There is an ICNS inside of an icon folder.
