Fun with Scanners

Posted by EriC


Next time you get a hold of a flatbed scanner: move the object you're scanning as the light beam goes by. ...no reason...

Haha - in the picture above I took a... well, can you figure it out?

You Got Your Stacks of Wax, Man

Not bad for a free turntable. Click for fullsize.

This cool little JavaScript app brings up an interface where you can start up a looping drum beat. They start you off with a generic drumbeat where you can adjust the tempo (by setting the bpm, or by tapping the button), volume, etc.

From there, you can add in different drums at different times by clicking on a box to make a new pattern. This is going to be great for practicing instruments at home.

These Contacts Are Great

Posted by EriC

I got a different set of contact lenses from the eye doctor's - they ROCK! I went there a few weeks ago and one doctor (not the owner) told me there was nothing that could be done about my uncomfortable contacts and how dry they get which affects the vision as well. After a couple hours I would have to apply eye drops. Using that stuff too often tricks your eyes into thinking they don't have to produce tears anymore. So, I would just have to take the contacts out.

I wanted a second opinion and I went back to see a different doctor (Dr. Vonhomme, the owner) and she gave me a different set of lenses. I can leave these in all day and barely need a drop of extra moisture. I almost forget to take them out at night because I don't notice them in my eyes.

If you don't think something a doctor says is true, go with that second guess. After all, it's your damn body we're talking about here.

Google Chrome Crashes on Startup

Posted by EriC

Don't understand why Google's new Chrome browser is crashing when I start the application. Not a good first impression of this browser! I know they sped this release up after accidentally leaking their comic teaser, but come on. I can't get it to work. Any ideas?

Edit: This error is due to Symantec Endpoint Protection .. and apparently a lot of other people have this problem too! There's a workaround by disabling the sandbox option, but it poses too much of a security risk to merit doing that.
