Using Variables with Find/Replace in Flare

This one is a pret­ty sim­ple trick and, to be hon­est, one that a lot of folks prob­a­bly fig­ured out soon­er than I did. With just a lit­tle bit of work, you can eas­i­ly replace oft-used words or phras­es in your Flare project with a vari­able. This is espe­cial­ly use­ful if you find your­self writ­ing… Con­tin­ue read­ing Using Vari­ables with Find/Replace in Flare

PodCamp Nashville 2009 Wrap Up

I and about 400 oth­er folks attend­ed Pod­Camp Nashville this past Sat­ur­day.

Department of Engineering Science

This is an old mate­ri­als engi­neer­ing hand­book that was giv­en to me by a pro­fes­sor upon his retire­ment from my under­grad uni­ver­si­ty. I believe he res­cued it from as it was being retired from the uni­ver­si­ty library. When he was clean­ing out his office, he asked a few stu­dents to come in, indi­vid­u­al­ly, and select… Con­tin­ue read­ing Depart­ment of Engi­neer­ing Science

Live Blogging the BSG Final Season Premiere

The begin­ning of the end of Bat­tlestar Galac­ti­ca. Angela and I are watch­ing: Well, Earth sure a drag. Hey! Hera uses the same plas­tic spoons as Ains­ley. That beach where Tyrol is hav­ing some flash­back to old Earth… is that actu­al­ly the beach at Stan­ley Park in Van­cou­ver? Well, Star­buck.
