On Painting The Internet
samspratt:
Art is for everyone.
If you hold it high over everybody’s heads, newcomers will never come to appreciate it. The memes are the gateway “drug” to exploring the world of painting. Don’t care for them? I completely understand! I, too, find it incredibly difficult to appreciate such… “Lowest Common Denominator” “art” whilst wearing my monocle and holding a goblet of caviar and diamonds.

Excepting some extreme and rare circumstances, it is difficult to make a friend, fall in love, or change your heart in two to five minutes. What’s much more common is to have these experiences unfold over the course of several hours: a road trip, a dinner that never ends, a sleepless night. And so…
The Trouble With Automation
I use FogBugz for my job. I use Omnifocus for my sanity.
A long time ago I set up the included mail rule that comes with Omnifocus to route messages containing certain key phrases directly from mail into the task manager. Unfortunately it looks like every so often, Apple updates Mail.app; breaking the plugin that Omnifocus uses to route messages via the services menu.
Because the system had...

I seriously wish that photographers would watermark all their photos all the time.
Even if it were just better use of tagging on image files. Tumblr does a decent job of preserving tags in files; as do most sites that don’t use imagemagick or the like with default settings to convert images into various sizes.
I’m using Aperture to manage all the images from Deviant/Tumblr...

Kerfuffle. Google. Boring.
I had to run some stuff over to the storage unit tonight from Christmas, nothing interesting. On the radio (NPR) they are discussing Google’s push for a new privacy policy. The voice is talking about how bad the policy change is or can be, how it could harm consumers. I’m not necessarily laughing while this is taking place but I’m amused.
Ten years ago I started a new web...

The uselessness of Origin
Why wouldn’t Origin simply download patches and apply them to your games while you’re sleeping? At least then you’d have a reason to keep their shitty app running all the time.

A Rare Glimpse of Stupid
EA’s Origin service is probably the dumbest thing to happen in 2011. Recently I purchased a game from EA. During the registration process it became clear that they already knew who I was from Dragon Age: Origins - so cool; but the forgot password function took 20 minutes to deliver a message to my mailbox.
So far, off to a rocky start; didn’t find out that my email address was in use...
