Jason Dixon’s talk from NYC*BSDcon 2008 “BSDvs.GPL.”

I’m listening to the audio now, but it makes more sense with the slides.

I’ve just been shown the most hideous thing I have seen in a long time, so of course I am sharing it with you. http://www.mytwinn.com/

You can now get dolls which are designed to look like your child, creating a spooky form of symmetry not seen since The Shining, mixed with Childs Play.

See for yourself, I refuse to put the pictures here as they creep me out.

doG bless uTyoube, not that I quite understand the play-a-whole-track-with minimal-gfx thing that much, ( at which point I have to point you to pzar’s videos, interesting hobby you got there pzar ;) and the sound quality just bottoms out, but it is nice to listen to the occasional classic regardless, and I grew up up with cassettes, which had the most appalling sound quality, especially if they had been copied, especially if they were copies of copies … and so on. In this day and age you cannot always get everything you want via some legit download or some illicit P2P network, so if anyone has a copy of this, let me know.

Oh, and if you are going to listen to these, at least make sure you have an audio output that can reproduce the bass properly, for example, built in speakers on a MacBook == FAIL.

This twenty two month old child demonstrates why the Wii kicks the arse of every other console out there, accessibility.

Opposable thumbs ? Pah !

A commercial produced for the Kona Coffee Farmer’s Association has caught the attention of the Department of Agriculture.

From the Hawaii Reporter …

In Hawaii, the state Department of Agriculture has directed the Kona Farmers Association (fighting for recognition of 100% Kona coffee through the distribution of an educational video) to, “remove the Get Real! DVD from any and all distribution and cease its use in the promotion of 100 percent Kona Coffee”.

UPDATE : So the first couple of minutes are basically trying to drum into you that Kona coffee is “the best”, a phrase that is repeated over and over, the controversy begins around the two minute mark and goes on for around a minute, slamming foreign blends mixed with Kona coffee, and then the last minute is “you deserve 100% Kona coffee”.

UPDATE : I have been asked to point out that Kona is not the only part of Hawai’i that grows coffee, and that many here find the 100% Kona coffee far too bitter. I am not sure if that is too say that 100% Hawai’ian coffee is too bitter, I guess the Kona Farmer’s have better PR ( well maybe not after this YouTube presentation ;) either way, the point of this little update is that I am going to be keeping an eye out for 100% Hawia’ian coffee to see if it is marketed at all. I will let you know.
