A few things I thought were interesting:

Slght [sic] of hand: How to fold a t-shirt in 1 easy step

A short video depicting a simple way to quickly fold a t-shirt. I wouldn't call it one step, exactly, but it is very short: Even the movie itself is ~20 seconds (or one minute if you see the English version). It's pretty neat - I might start using it myself. Sleight of hand, indeed.

Best Buy Confirms It Has Secret Website

Now, every company has it's intranet, but this is just sad. That they'd stoop so low to commit fraud - yes, I consider this fraud - and deny customers of specials by having their intranet display different sites than their Internet site... makes me... I don't know, really. I just hope they and their brother (Futureshop) go out of business.

What? One can hope...

Vista brute force hack update: it might work, if you let it run for a year

Much controversy behind this one, but it all boils down to:

1. Yes, it works.
2. You may need to run it for a long, long time before it comes up with anything, or it may take less than two minutes to come up with something.
3. Anything it generates is potentially valid, not guaranteed to be valid.
4. Really: Buy Windows, or go Linux. (Or stick with XP... WFM. So does Foresight, so far :>)

My mother was listening to the TV the other night while I had Eth over. Just as I was about to show SCO (Space Cowboy) to him, a The Brick commercial came on, and... the music was familiar. Very familiar. IRRITATINGLY familiar. I recognised it fairly fast because I quickly found it irritating in the game - it’s the ANI city theme.

So the question is: Is The Brick violating a copyright? Is SCO? Or did they both obtain a fair licence of the same music track and this is nothing but a co-incidence?

Perhaps I should record the commercial and show what I mean?

Work's been fairly boring, unfortunately.

I've been playing Space Cowboy. Free MMORPG, and it isn't too bad.

But more on all that later.

The weather this month has been craptastic. A lot of people seem to be unconcerned, though, which makes the whole situation worse. I'm sorry, the fact that it's bright, sunny, and warm in December is not a good thing any way to slice it.

We're heading towards something bad, I'm sure of it. Just like I predicted last year (or the year before, I forget), the weather is shifting about. Perhaps not quite in the way I imagined it (wintertime shifting to summertime and summertime shifting to wintertime), but I was at least partially right.

And I predict, this time, that the next summer is going to be one of two things: Either it's going to be similar unstable weather as we are having now, or it's going to be a dangerously boiling-hot summer.

It's no longer I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, but rather, "I'm having nightmares of a green Christmas." ;_;

Yes, you read that right.
On the very first of December, we had what would have been our first permanent snow. It wasn't very much, but it would have been enough to stay, and lightly coat everything as though flour in a cake pan (Grr...). And yet, hours later came what most feared would come instead of the snow: Freezing rain.
And lots of it.
Thing is, the rain wasn't content with washing away the snow. Oh no. The snow stayed, indeed, and became slush. Frozen slush. Thankfully, I had brought my (totally awesome) umbrella today, which was completely unfazed by the heavy wind and rain...

[It was a dark, rainy day, and all about was frozen slush, and I hoped, hoped, that there would be no accidents.]
Actually, that reminds me that I'm glad I take the bus.

So yeah, how poetic. The first of December sees the first snow. Snow and rain, on the same day.
I kinda liked it.
