be the change you want to see in the world

Here’s a grainy, loud Treo video of the tail-end of my commute. A couple times a week I’m on the Helijet between Victoria and Vancouver. It is always an entertaining trip. This time the pilot decided to climb to altitude in a hurry, and we were looking down on Victoria Golf course from a loooong ways up within about three minutes. The descent into Vancouver was more gradual, as you can see in this shot. In view are the West End, BC Place, Canada Place, Stanley Park, Lions Gate Bridge, North Shore Mountains, North Vancouver, Second Narrows bridge, the working harbour and more. Turn your volume down…the helijet is loud. And shaky… The next Treo better have image stabilization…

Here’s just one example from a large pool of lost time kraziness brought to you by krazydad.com.

You got a collection of covers of one sort or another? CoverPop them! Here’s one built from 701 Wacky Packages.

Takes me back to my grade five school binder.

I’m sure someone is working on something like this, but wouldn’t it be cool to eliminate mail servers altogether and just communicate directly using RSS 2.0?

Rather than open our inboxes to spam from everywhere, we simply subscribe to the people we want to hear from, create feeds for people we want to communicate with, deliver attachments as enclosures, and…well, that about takes care of it, doesn’t it?

Sounds pretty bulletproof to me.

There are a lot of recipe sites on the Interweb, but I haven’t yet found one that advertises over 200,000 recipes. Food Down Under is such a site, and it delivers. This site is, uh, comprehensive. It also has a neat feature that changes the recipe ingredient measures/portions based on the yield you want. I’ll leave it to you to explore, but I will point you to one recipe for an Iranian lamb and rice dish to get you started.

Scrolling through the long list of contributed Drupal modules used to be a selling point that spoke to the dynamism and scope of the Drupal community. Then it just got tedious. Now it is much less so as the long-promised categorization system in online.

Imagine that! Using a taxonomy to categorize things.
