matt_gowdy: @reelsmart I want to see the "Transparency" on Smartronix's invoice. Gov contracting is more game than market these days.

matt_gowdy: RT: @grantimahara: Watching: trailer for Daybreakers. Vampires and Willem Dafoe. Check it out. Do it, do it now... http://bit.ly/MF6XA

matt_gowdy: @reelsmart I'm hoping sometime down the line that we can get a distributed power grid vs. a single input source.

matt_gowdy: @reelsmart Nuclear is nice in particular areas, but isn't portable and can become unstable. Plus there is waste generated by the spent rods.

matt_gowdy: @reelsmart My money is still on solar, geothermal, and other assorted power sources. Wind power is just so bulky and location dependent.

matt_gowdy: Watched the latest episode of @RadOnTheWeb and now have the Jeopardy theme song intermixing with "This is how we do it" stuck in my head.

matt_gowdy: Dear magazine sites, The technology exists to be able to do a nice CSS or JS based slide show without reloading. Look into it.

Project Idea: Book Mashups

I was thinking about online data earlier today (and yesterday) and I had this thought to try and spruce up online magazine articles, you know, make them nicer or more interactive for users to get more of an online experience through them when this idea hit me.

What if we took a classic book, like say Dracula (I use this because of the data available) and put it online. Most of you would say "Matt, that's already been done before. To death actually." To which I would say "Aha! But there's more!"… Continue

State Radio - 07.28.2008

I got lucky last night.

Though probably not as lucky as you thought I did by reading that first sentence. My luck last night was of a different sort. The type of luck that gets you through the night and makes sure you have a great time.

I went to State Radio play a show last night. State Radio is a great band formed after Dispatch broke up (okay, so they formed before Dispatch broke up, but they got more attention afterward). They play a… Continue

Rubber Ducky Review #1: Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog (SPOILERS)

So now that Dr. Horrible Act 3 has been released and has been out for about 24 hours now, I thought it would be cool to kind of go over the series really quick in a full review. Suffice it to say, I’m a big fan of Joss Whedon and Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog did not disappoint.

The Format

Dr. Horrible was released in 3 short acts done in similar fashion to the Buffy episode "Once More With Feeling." The first act length is 13:49, the second is 13:08 and the last is 15:29. They are ava… Continue

Float the River Day 2008

So I was asked to go on a trip today to float on the river with my roommates, my neighbors, and several of their friends. Sounds pretty fun, so I cleared today at work and nabbed a tube (a tubing tube, so it had this dense sleeve on it that people wanted me to take off) and started today relatively early.

A few hours of waiting later, we managed to get everyone assembled and began floating down the Gallatin River, which is a tad bit flooded and cold due to the ice melt, but no real problems, ju… Continue

Dead Pixels In New Camcorder

So I got my new camcorder yesterday and I've been playing around with stuff and i tried recording my campfire response tonight using the new cam. To my horror, the two misplaced green and red pixels in the camera LCD actually effing recorded with the image! So now I'm stuck with the misfortune of seeing if I can get a replacement in the next few days or something.

Anybody know what causes stuff like this? Like too much heat or something on the lens?

*Sigh* I'm going to have to record a less el… Continue
