LA Noire: The Naked City Interrogation Answers

Bean — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 05:23:39 +0000

This got rejected by GameFAQs for having too little content. I compared this "guide" to another interrogation FAQ and, apparently, I needed to add some video footage links and a long, drawn-out list of legalities and disclaimers at the bottom.

Well, I like it short and sweet, so here it is (with the heading and legalese removed) for those that need the assistance.

A couple of new abstracts – more to come

Bean — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 16:03:01 +0000

Here's two more abstracts I've made recently. Both are from the same scene, just rendered from different vantage points within the structure I use to generate them. Don't ask where the names come from. I just name them something obscure because it's a lot easier than trying to describe the images.

First is shwave:

blue spotted abstract

Next is treepo:

A purplish abstract wallpaper

The joys of Creative Commons and indie publishing

Bean — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 15:57:00 +0000

I came to work one day without my copy of Everyone in Silico by Jim Munroe. I was deeply saddened, but realized that I could probably find the book out on the internet somewhere.

Turns out I didn't have to look too hard. Mr. Munroe actually released the book under a Creative Commons license. Thanks to independent publishing and forward thinking licensing, I was able to legally obtain and finish this wonderful work of fiction.

Everyone in Silico released for free.

This doesn’t just apply to Canada.

This post from Matthew Good is a good reminder for all of us to look beyond what we see and remember that each of is human and we all have our own back story.

2008 Presidential Election Simulator

Just ran across this. It's definitely fun to watch. Let's hope that the election runs like this simulator in November.

Why is Rep. Kucinich seemingly the only one NOT afraid to tell it like it is?

Bean — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 17:50:02 +0000

Digg it!

For the last few years, I've really taken a shine to Rep. Kucinich. He seems to be one of the few members of the House that understands the meaning of "represent."

Dan Rather, respected journalist, tells it like it is.

Bean — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 18:55:16 +0000

Dan Rather, explains how media conglomeration and ownership changes have created an environment where news gets lost in pursuit of the almighty profit.

Thanks, Mr. Crawford, for leading me to this link.

See what kind of tax break your family would get under the Obama plan. Stop passively listening to the pandering right. Go take a look for yourself.

A new search engine – a new privacy policy

Bean — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 19:09:12 +0000

There's a new search engine out there - cuil, an old Irish word for knowledge. According to their press, they've reinvented search based on the philosophy that users are what drive search, not the content providers. As anyone who uses google on a regular basis can confirm, google's top hits are often the most popular, not necessarily the most informative.

I've only started using cuil today, so we'll see how it fares down the road, but their Privacy Policy is to be admired. NO identifying information. Search for whatever you'd like without being profiled. Hallelujah.

UPDATE: I wouldn't go switching from your favorite search engine of choice just yet. Whether it be Google, Yahoo!, Ask, or even HotBot, cuil is not yet ready to take its place.

Their "categories" don't seem to correlate with your search. Simple keywords return 0 results or irrelevant results. Phrases return unrelated results or the result you're looking for is 5 pages down.

Some say it better than I can hope to.

I have never read the Lefsetz Letter before, but a post on a friend's blog directed me to this post: The End of the Innocence. I share many of the sentiments expressed therein, notably: that very little is "Made in America", that there is no one watching over us, and that it's time for honest communication to pave the way to a richer future for all of us.
