Where do you get your business cards done?
Deserves more than a limited character response…

Resignation
I resigned from my job at Keima today.

My resignation is in no way related to the release today of Minecraft 1.8 as was suggested by some of my more...

Robin is on the way to the ER with her dog just to be on the safe side.
Snopes has a good article about grapes, raisins and dogs. I tried to copy and paste some of it, but was unable to. The top of the article has some story about a particular dog, but the bottom part is what all dog owners…
I’m probably getting a dog next week and I had no idea they couldn’t...

Robot football Team take Welsh anthem to Turkey -... →
The Welsh national anthem was sung to the robots of Newport Universities’ entry to Robocup 2011 so they could play it back before each game (via WalesOnline).
My wife is in the video somewhere and they are dressed as goths because they were rehearsing the Gothic Symphony (over 1000 performers).

Paint.NET 4.0 will not support Windows Vista →
Nerds: Can anyone think of a technical reason for this? There are Windows 7 specific libraries (for jump lists and other Windows 7 goodness), but they are optional.

ONLIVE →
OnLive hosts games on their servers and sends the resulting video to your desktop. I said this would never work because the codec + network latency would be too high to make it playable. I was wrong.
I played Borderlands on it today and it works just fine. Hardcore gamers will detect a very slight latency that might frustrate them a little in FPS games, but overall the experience is very...
