Perfectly decent story. Crisis moment. Hero is shanghai’ed by bad guys, dragged around behind his car, and shoved into the trunk. Except. Hero drives a 911. That’s a rear-engine vehicle. *sigh* ]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/275/feed 0 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/270 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/270#comments Sun, 20 Jan 2008 19:42:00 +0000 k2 http://www.karinoyo.com/2008/01/woe-for-the-next-generation/
Following links while researching, and stumbled over what appeared to be the start of a good forum thread, archived somewhere in google’s depths. What are the qualities of a good visual-media (television, music video, movie) work? First respondent goes for the relativist approach: “a good video is measured by how large an effect it has [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/270/feed 0 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/247 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/247#comments Mon, 24 Dec 2007 00:38:00 +0000 k2 http://www.karinoyo.com/2007/12/how-to-really-really-hate-your-genetic-predispositions/
Especially if you’ve got the chromosone that says “will automatically have the HARDEST FRICKIN TIME when it comes to electrical systems”. I’m talking everything from Kaypro to Compaq to Apple, and every operating system from MS-Dos 1.0 through Windows NT, from Apple’s first release through the first Mac up to Leopard 10.5, all the way [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/247/feed 0 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/242 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/242#comments Sun, 25 Nov 2007 00:22:00 +0000 k2 http://www.karinoyo.com/2007/11/culture-smash/
Actual conversation, the other day. I’ve been to England/Scotland (otherwise raised in the Deep South), while CP attended a Brit school as a kid. Makes for some odd culture-squishes, here and there, in the house conversations. I still don’t know how this one started, but I think it was thanks to CP’s trip to the [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/242/feed 0 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/234 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/234#comments Fri, 15 Jun 2007 06:05:00 +0000 k2 http://www.karinoyo.com/2007/06/knock-another-one-off-the-list/
Making progress with building pantry & pass-through for recyclables. Got a lot done today, and around 6pm, realized I was out of soda. Quick trip to corner for fountain soda as a treat… except that at the stop sign heading out of the neighborhood, I heard the oddest sound — somewhat like when the muffler’s [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/234/feed 0 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/185 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/185#comments Thu, 29 Mar 2007 22:20:00 +0000 k2 http://www.karinoyo.com/2007/03/put-down-that-cat-food-eugene-and-pass-me-the-ammunition/
1. Payroll calling me about filing insurance paperwork by EOD today. See #2. 2. The cable modem died last night in the wee hours. 3. Payroll calling to tell me to fax it, then. No landline. See also #2. 4. Two conference calls, and two deadlines tomorrow. 5. Coworker asking if I’ll email the doc. See also #2. 6.

Dear Mr or Ms Fancy-Pants Architect: I’m sure you think your site is just lovely. The flash is certainly spectacular, even if this means I have to use a screenshot to capture any examples of your work. (And you thought you’d managed to avoid that, how little you know of technology and determined visitors.) But I [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/181/feed 0
