The IKEA WALKTHROUGH v2.3.1 will safely get you through your next Ikea level-up:

http://www.themorningnews.org/archives/how_to/the_nonexpert_ikea.php

"IKEA is a fully immersive, 3D environmental adventure that allows you to role-play the character of someone who gives a shit about home furnishings. In traversing IKEA, you will experience a meticulously detailed alternate reality filled with garish colors, clear-lacquered birch veneer, and a host of NON-PLAYER CHARACTERS (NPCs) with the glazed looks of the recently anesthetized."

Dave, you're an older guy like me (actually, you're quite a bit older, but my eyes are really bad...) Can you bump up the default text size on the Disqus comments? Ideally, if they were the same size as your entries, I could scale them up/down together to suit my needs. (Currently, if I zoom the comments to a comfortable size, your entries are HUGE.) Thanks for listening!

See—easy peasy! Please do introduce yourself.

Ha—yeah, good catch. And, as you mentioned to me the other day, the trade paperback for 'Identity Crisis' has a whole slew of 'actor inspiration' notes for various characters.

Of course, you also pointed out that I might be missing a very intentional purpose for referencing Eminem in Wanted. (The fact that the whole work kinda reads like a white-boy-badass-fantasy, much like Mr. Mathers' body of work.)

Hmm... my recommendation would be to dial 1-800-4MY-XBOX, and talk to a service technician. Best of luck!

For you Yahoos watching this, play a game of 'spot the yahoo'… I think there are about 3 of us. :-)

Hi Toby — Yeah, I just noticed the other day that the article I point to in my entry seems to have perished. I'm not quite sure where to find the pictures again. :-/ I'll update this entry if I come across any.

Thanks, Tina!

Hey Toby — I updated my entry to point at the Internet Archive version, so you should be able to click through now and see some (somewhat grainy) pictures of the dark man. Hope that helps!

You know, Roman and I compared real-estate costs and our middle-to-high-end rates compare pretty directly with their low-end of the market ($12-13/sq.ft) But I do hope that a Columbus space will have pretty reasonable rates—something like $300/month for the highest 'package' (incl. a reserved desk.)

But we'll see! A handful of us are looking at some spaces this Friday.

re: the Times article. Tim Bray's been doing some investigation into multi-core optimized operations (the 'Wide Finder' project) -- http://www.tbray.org/ongoin...

I'm not smart enough to understand any of it, but I bet you are! :-D

Great Bryce's think alike!

What I great idea to jump-start your commenting system, too.... ( /me dogs through a crusty old pile of O'Reilly books behind my desk...)

Re: The Strake - Flickr Photo Selection Control

Bryce — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 16:07:23 -0000

Hey Jason — that looks slick! Any way to pick photos based on tag rather than photoset? (I tag everything, but only arbitrarily and half-assedly ever pull things into photosets.)

Re: Xbox Live Customer Support

Added a clarifying note to my original blog-entry.

Patiently waiting for Jason to figure out what to do with his life... so he can then tell me what to do, too...

Hi Dave — Ricky Montalvo is a videographer/editor at Yahoo who's responsible for the YDN Theater: http://developer.yahoo.com/...

I sent Ricky an email with the link to this page, and the Upcoming details... I'll let you know if hear back.

Wow. That guy is amazing. I see you've been working your way through some Processing texts—any sketches of your own to share yet?

Re: The Strake - De-Dotting Links in Firefox

Bryce — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 13:47:42 -0000

Don't those just appear once you've clicked on something usually? Or when you're tabbing around the page via keyboard? I gotta be honest, those have never bothered me (and I worry that muffling them might be a backwards step for accessibility.)

Re: Yet Another Interim Theme

Hm.. I'm biased, but I'd love to see the Incentive Systems one. :-) (iPhone... meh. Everyone's covered that already.)

From the thumbnail, I kinda thought that Dominos was diversifying into the field of tele-dildonics. (Satisfaction in 30 minutes or less!)

Wow. I hadn't heard that. Yeah, it's a bummer, for sure.

Hi Bradley — thanks for your continued interest! I know I've kinda dropped off the grid since the New Year about coworking. The good news is there's been some small progress, and —after this Sunday— I hope to have some good news to share, so I'll try to get a meeting going sometime late Feb/early March to. I'll keep you posted!

Oh man.... yeah, but that time I pulled it on you was the MOTHER of all pranks. That was better than a ping-pong ball neck-welt.
