yah sure it looks cool (i’m impressed), but i don’t know if this c.o.m. site is really gonna help it’s e-business sales. the interface when all is said and done is pretty unintuitive (yes i know i don’t read german, but the holes are unlabeled and it’s a bad combination of clicking and dragging imo). umm, oh yeah, and even if you use the pulldown menu, you’re still left with all these “windows” that you have to close to clear the screen.
u2log.com has a realvideo copy of the stuck in a moment video (new single in the rest of the world). the video itself is pretty cool, and interestingly shot. in the us, it appears that walk on is the next single (my favorite song of the album), and in fact, i heard it playing in the lobby of the mandalay bay this morning while i was in vegas. of course, according to what i heard, like with the beautiful day single, interscope won’t be releasing an actual cd single in north america (wtf?).

oh, this is interesting…750GHz chips? they use superconducting niobium w/ josephson junction devices (linewidths of about 1 µm). of course all running at below 10K.
funny quote of the day:
Moreover, unlike other emerging high-performance technologies, such as indium phosphide heterojunction bipolar transistors or resonant tunneling diode schemes, RSFQ circuit power dissipation hardly scales at all with operating frequency
holy shiznit! chromeless windows (in ie) courtesy of gabriel suchowolski. nice. hmm, if only mozilla offered chromeless rendering. actually, maybe that won’t be that hard…
while i was reading about archaic homo sapiens and big game, it occurred to me that i should share this great link that a friend gave me. coolhomepages.com has bunches of sites organized by categories based on design. that’s pretty neat. i’m going to try to do something useful with my domain names over break.
oh for those who need help, here’s how to install ssl on apache
i’m still alive. just been real caught up w/ work and stuff. studying for a final i’ll be having this afternoon. then i’ll be officially done for the semester. i’ll be spending the rest of the week trying to clear up all the cruft that’s accumulated over the past months. also, i’m midway through my antibiotics and i’m feeling markedly better than i was the past couple of weeks. um, no links, just reporting in to anyone’s who might be interested.
