Frank Chimero - States

Pretty awesome set of prints by Frank Chimero, taking the basic shape of states, and turning them into seemingly unrelated illustrations. It's especially interesting when you consider that the shape of states themselves are a combination of man made and naturally occurring boarders.

Little blog recode.

I just altered that reads the blog on AndrewParnell.com

I'd noticed that the default feed from blogger (which powers this blog) only shows the 25 most recent entries, which really isn't good enough for me.

However, after some searching I found that if you append the query string ?start-index=# to the feed path, you can get older entries. Better yet, throw on &max-results=5 and rather than having to parse the entire feed and then have php display only 5 entries, I can just show the entire feed.

It's pretty sweet.

Oh, and because that picture I posted earlier really didn't cut it:

Here's a video of the tri-duino in action.

Wood

Bought a new table saw and put that bad boy to use.


Time is running down.

Tri-duino

The last little bit of science for my upcoming project:

The Tri-duino!

Just a little proof of concept based on the dual core arduino

This one is 3 arduino chips sharing a power supply and a 16mhz crystal to keep in perfect sync. The final project is going to be running 16 of these.

Chuck Returns

Season 2 of Chuck airs a week from today, but Hulu has it now.

I've got mixed feelings about early online premiers...but of course, I watched it.

Without spoiling any of the actual episode for you, let me share with you, in 3 frames, my favorite gag in the episode.



Oh cereal.

Yes, Google knows many things, but does it know how to love?
