I didn’t notice that the headline didn’t come in correctly on my last post. One of many things I’ve failed at today.

Kodak to stop making cameras, digital frames

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:20:00 -0600

Kodak to stop making cameras, digital frames:

This is pretty interesting: Kodak is going to focus printing, both home and commercial, instead of cameras.

Kodak gets the most recognition for bring cameras to the masses, but don’t forget that most of their revenue always came from film, processing and printing, whether by selling materials to print at home or supplying commercial labs. So really, this is a return to that model, and I hope it works.

girl-non-grata answered your question: Serious question time

TBH, this pisses me off. It’s just more trivialization of Fibromyalgia. Constant nerve pain can’t be fixed with a protein shake.

Completely agreed. It’s insanity to think that it would, but the people who sell these shakes actually believe this.

The consensus seems to be unsubscribing

Thank you for your wisdom, Tumbl-folks. I can now go on Facebook with a light heart.

Serious question time

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:51:00 -0600

So say you have someone who keeps trying to sell you health shakes and constantly talks about the benefits of said shakes on Facebook.

So far, the shakes help with:

being overweight
diabetes
migraines
fibromyalgia
~~EXCZEMA~~ eczema

It, of course, helps with none of these (well, actually, it might help with the first two, but only because you’d be eating fewer calories and less sugar).

This is a person who should know better, but apparently doesn’t. It’s also someone I cannot be mean/horrible/a dick to, for various reasons. Part of the problem is likely that once you start selling something you have to publicly affirm your belief in it, but it’s getting absolutely ridiculous.

Thoughts?

Honeywell sues Nest for patent infringement – Marco.org

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:36:46 -0600

Honeywell sues Nest for patent infringement – Marco.org:

Some of the patents are for things like displaying a grammatically correct sentence on a thermostat.

My question, as I’m not a lawyer: I thought patents covered ONE WAY of doing things: that is to say, the patent for Edison’s lightbulb was about the way he made a lightbulb. If there’s another way to do something, wouldn’t that be clear of any patent infringement? (That’s setting aside the problem of the USPTO office granting overly-broad patents, which is an application problem, not a problem with the patent system itself.) Any lawyer-ly folks out there want to clarify for me?

Not having cable and not being able to get the NBC affiliate with our antenna means no Super Bowl at my house. I care a lot less than I thought I would.

In case you care (you don’t, it’s OK), the image I printed on my moleskine was a linoleum cut portrait of Carl Sandburg done by a student at Cornell College in 1928. It was the cover of the college’s literary journal, and inside there were two poems by Sandburg.

He loved Cornell because in 1920 it was the first college to offer him a speaking engagement on the merits of his poetry. He spoke there every year for more than a decade.

It was too dark to get a decent picture, even with a 50 1.8 lens, but we seem to have acquired more than an attempted murder.

Been messing around with easy, cheap inkjet image transfers, based around this tutorial. A few failures (we’ll just say they have character), but I finally got the hang of it. It’s def. better for one-off projects, if I were to want to print a bunch, I’d need something like a stamp or a screen printer. But still, I dig it.

Any thoughts on who the handsome devil on my moleskine cover is?

I would also pay a dollar per time I used this feature.

Tumblr is missing out

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:54:54 -0600

Because I’d gladly pay them $1 for a Tumblr app that actually worked, or for any of a thousand other features. But a new way for people to promote themselves?

Pass.
