Another denizen of the uncanny valley…

Neat. Now all that map and reduce goodness easily layered onto jQuery.

This would be particularly funny if it was a post from a past year.

I think he returned because of the former reason: he realized how difficult it was to be his mom, and missed her, and realized that of all the things that could go wrong in the world, she was one thing that he love and count on. So, I think the overall moral was the same as the book’s. What’s been fleshed out here is that Max’s attempt at parenthood was an utter failure (that he imagined the role as kinghood is flawed from the start.) But that’s the point of the movie: Max is just a kid, and kids ultimately know so little about how the world works. I think the script excelled at showing this off in funny and profound ways. So often, the dialogue is simply parts of complex social interactions, but their progressions make little sense. It really hit home for me that although Max sees conflicts all around him in his real life, he was at a loss to understand their root causes or address them in any way but the most superficial ones.

Terrifying.

Hilarious.

Here’s a novel (if impractical) bike design.

Wow. Just wow. Click through to see the viewbooks of Anderew Jones’ work, and note that there is a "download" option in the bottom toolbar to get all the images in high enough resolution to serve as desktop wallpapers.

Ouch.

"Hipster" defined.

Some beautiful digital artwork in progress from flight404.

Gestures are certainly a kind of language, and it would be nice to treat them as such. Except, unfortunately, some companies are exerting patent protection over certain phrases in the language, which renders the point moot.

Fingers crossed: This is my one biggest reservation about WebOS.
