I posit that anything that can be used to represent pixels on a screen will automatically generate a Nintendo related image.

So I got an invitation on all our truly beloved FaceBook to “The International Day of Awesomness” featuring approxiamately 5321 guests from around the globe. How awesome isin’t that? Anywho. To celebrate this severely cool day, all you need is to strut your stuff as if you were the most awesome thing walking around (I know I am, so I will).

For those with difficulties figuring out their awesomeness, you should check out this periodic table. It’ll definitely rise your awesome-factor! I can’t help but ask… Awesome, isin’t it? Just click on the picture or follow the source below to be able to check out all the sweet details.

These are sculptures of the human form that are so detailed and realistic that they could pass off as the real thing. More real than real possibly…

Well WTF? How the heck are you supposed to keep 18 key-short cuts in your head to begin with? Never mind the ergonomic and tactile horror of finding the right button when you do remember it… Egads!

Inquisitor is one of my favorite plugins for Safari. But under Snow Leopard, it’s broken. In fact all plugins depending on the InputManager folder are broken now.

But there’s a fix!

Problemo number one:
All plugins must be owned by the root account.

Open terminal, navigate to /library/inputmanagers/.
Execute the following: chown -R root:admin *
That solves that.

Problemo number deuce:
No plugins will be loaded by an app running in 64-bit mode.

Go to your applications folder, select Safari.
Press Cmd+i to get info and activate “Open in 32 bit mode”.
Restart Safari.

And that should fix it.

This is by far the sweetest fusion of LEGO, 8-bit and demo scene madness and awesome! Cudos to these crazy swedes for pulling it off

A petition on the 10 Downing Street website calling for an official apology from the Prime Minster for the “prosecution of Alan Turing that led to his untimely death” has already attracted 2,200 signatures.

WWII crypto analyst and computer pioneer Alan Turing was persecuted into commiting suicide by the British government. It’s a real tragedy that a man of such brilliance and who did so much to change the tide of WWII in the favour of the UK was given such shameful treatment after the war – simply because he was gay.

Whereas I feel it is important that the British establishment owns up to it’s dark past, the damage is already done. Something like this should never have happened in a democracy in the first place.

P.S: A rather lame apology has been given by PM Gordon Brown
