Why is tech design so fucking bad. I honestly think it was better 20 years ago. Why do I have to hold a button down to turn my speakers on and why do they make a loud sound when I turn them on. I don't want them to make a sound when I turn them on and I don't want to wait. I shouldn't have to wait. I know it's only a few seconds but then sometimes I don't know if it's turning on or not and then I spend 10-20 seconds trying to turn them on. WHY WOULD YOU MAKE A THING TAKE TIME IF IT DOESN'T HAVE TO. JUST LET ME PUSH A FUCKING BUTTON. It breaks my flow and all of these little things throughout the day wear me down. |

I'm a forgiver. I might not forget, but I forgive. My mother, father and older brother always told me: 'Don't hold grudges. If you do that, you don't lower yourself down to your adversary. Just treat people the way you want to be treated.' I honestly think that's why I was able to survive and have some success. |

I remember bumming rides across town to Georgia Tech, trying to get myself registered, trying to apply for financial aid, trying to get their coaches to watch my film. |

I spend several days at a time without enough sleep. At first, normal activities become annoying. When you are too tired to eat, you really need some sleep. A few days later, things become strange. Loud noises become louder and more startling, familiar sounds become unfamiliar, and life reinvents itself as a surrealist dream. |

My own belief is that most people are trying to do their best. It doesn't mean they have no nasty side, or that they don't have a bad temper, or that they have never done anything they feel ashamed of. But fiction operates on people waking up trying to be horrible, and I don't think most people are trying to be horrible. |

There is the fear, common to all English-only speakers, that the chief purpose of foreign languages is to make fun of us. Otherwise, you know, why not just come out and say it? |

I've always thought stand-up comedians were the oral storytellers of our time, because they know rhetoric, they know delivery, they know timing, they know all of these things that you can only learn by telling a story out loud and interacting with an audience. |

My generation remembered going to the movies as an event. We would see these things, we would bring them home, and we would think about them for years because it would take a long time before they would go on television where you could re-experience the fun that you had when you watched them. |

Sometimes you take a job for the money, sometimes you take it for the location, sometimes you take it for the script; there are just a number of reasons, and ultimately what you see is the whole landscape of it. But I can tell you from behind the scenes - that's what it is, as an actor. |

Many, many times I find that whatever is looking good on the screen doesn't always look or feel good on the body. So who do we design for - do we design for the screen, or do we design for women? |

I've had this terrible stomach problem for years, and that has made touring difficult. People would see me sitting in the corner by myself looking sick and gloomy. The reason is that I was trying to fight against the stomach pain, trying to hold my food down. People looked me and assumed I was some kind of addict. |

I had a dream that there were these moths that could fly but didn't have any wings and they would run into things and explode and turn into eggs and larvae. Also there were four people with super powers and one could turn into a shark and stop time, another one could control water and ice. I don't remember the other two.

Turn up for work. Discipline allows creative freedom. No discipline equals no freedom.
Never stop when you are stuck. You may not be able to solve the problem, but turn aside and write something else. Do not stop altogether.
Love what you do.
Be honest with yourself. If you are no good, accept it. If the work you are doing is no good, accept it.
Don’t hold on to poor work. If it was bad when it went in the drawer it will be just as bad when it comes out.

Every day I turn the temperature down from 80 to 75. Then my boss turns it down to 73 or lower. And every time I have to turn it back up to at least 75, and he turns it back down. Im fucking freezing back here and Ive asked him to raise the temperature before.

Scientists Have Discovered a Shape That Blocks All Sound
Scientists have developed an "acoustic meta-material" that can catch certain frequencies passing through the air and reflect them back toward their source. When a loudspeaker was placed into one end of a PVC pipe with a 3D-printed ring of the metamaterial, the ring "cut 94% of the sound blasting from the speaker, enough to make it inaudible to the human ear," reports Fast Company. From the report:
Typical acoustic paneling works differently, absorbing sound and turning the vibrations into heat. But what's particularly trippy is that this muffler is completely open. Air and light can travel through it -- just sound cannot. The implica...

Researcher Turns HDD Into Rudimentary Microphone
Speaking at a security conference, researcher Alfredo Ortega has revealed that you can use your hard disk drive (HDD) as a rudimentary microphone to pick up nearby sounds. This is possible because of how hard drives are designed to work. Sounds or nearby vibrations are nothing more than mechanical waves that cause HDD platters to vibrate. By design, a hard drive cannot read or write information to an HDD platter that moves under vibrations, so the hard drive must wait for the oscillation to stop before carrying out any actions. Because modern operating systems come with utilities that measure HDD operations up to nanosecond accuracy, Ortega realized that he could use these tools to measure delays in HDD operations. The longer the delay, t...

Ingredients:
Half a large Red Onion (Chopped)
A lot of Garlic! (I put about 10-15 cloves. Crush the garlic with a knife and chop, or use a garlic crusher)
Half a Can of Tomato Paste (6 oz)
Louisiana Hot Sauce (Ashanti) This is all based on how spicy you want it, we like it hot hot hot!
Italian Seasoning (Make sure to crush it between your hands and sprinkle it on) I use a generous amount, about a palm full)

A dog just came to my porch and scared my cat. The dog seemed really nice though. It had a collar that was heart-shaped and it said "Jake", which seems to be it's name because it looked up at me when I said "Jake you gotta go home" and it trotted away. I wonder if my cat knows I can turn the symbols on the dog's collar into the sound that it recognizes as it's name. Does this seem like magic to my cat?
