Robbie the Robot has a considerable film career that spans fifty years. He has been starring in film since just after being born (in 1955) all the way up until appearing in Pamela Anderson’s television show last year and an AT&T commercial this year. Many humans would kill for that kind of success, although I… Continue reading Robots Are Forever
Category: Remainder
Remaindered links are stuff that I thought was interesting, but not post-worthy. Yes I stole it from Kottke, just like everyone else.
Stephen Simmons Show
The Coal Men were supposed to be playing in Ashland tomorrow night (the fourth), but as things happened, that show fell through. However, Tuesday before last, Dave called me up to let me know he’d be in town with Stephen Simmons to play a show on the 27th. I really enjoyed Stephen’s show last time… Continue reading Stephen Simmons Show
Our Alaska Trip
I finished a narrative of our trip to Alaska with more details than anyone would ever care about. However, if you feel that the rest of the interent is a little too exciting, then you might want to give it a read here. You can also read about many of our other trips on my… Continue reading Our Alaska Trip

However, Akismet has done a remarkably good job of catching almost all of them, and with only a single false positive I’ve ever found (and that was because the commenter had placed… Continue reading Aksimet Is Awesome
Google Reader Update
Google Reader got an update today which makes it more of a usable RSS feed interface. They’ve still got some work, but I use it for all of my science news feeds and I think it is fast and a lot of the features you might find in a client-side (and for pay) piece of… Continue reading Google Reader Update
Anousheh Ansari Space Blog
Anousheh Ansari is blogging, which might not be that big of a deal, except for she’s doing it from the International Space Station (and it’s a WordPress blog, no less). She also has a Flickr photostream as well as a del.icio.us linkblog. Anyway, her blog over at the X Prize Foundation is a good read… Continue reading Anousheh Ansari Space Blog
UVA Stadium Pergola
UVA Stadium Pergola 1 by Jason Coleman — I was at the University of Virginia yesterday for a work meeting, and thought I’d walk around for a few minutes afterwards to take a few photos. I’ve had far worse days at work than spending the last day of summer walking around a college campus on… Continue reading UVA Stadium Pergola
Flickr’s Most Wanted (or Used, Anyway)
When I mentioned that I had gotten a Nikon D50 for my birthday, Trey stated it was the most popular camera on Flickr. Well, it turns out that he was close; it’s the second most popular (I had assumed it’d be way behind pocket cameras and I was wrong). The most popular camera on Flickr?… Continue reading Flickr’s Most Wanted (or Used, Anyway)
Railroad Trestle Connection
Railroad Trestle Connection by Jason Coleman — Other than the fact that this is a very cool looking, old riveted steel connection, I was attempting to use some color & lighting effects in post-processing to make this photo interesting.
