So I am off to China tomorrow. I am finishing up with some emails and trying to catch up on all my feeds. 37 Signals has a blog and pointed out one of the most creative and amusing websites I have ever seen. Be sure to click here and take a look.Posted by Ben Reubenstein Mon, 02 Apr 2007 12:38:00 GMT
Earlier this morning I was involved in a car accident. I was headed on I-70 to Colorado Blvd. I looked over to change lanes, started changing, when the truck in front of me slowed down. I ran right into the mechanical lift on the back. The metal bar ripped through the car's hood and engine up to the dashboard cracking the windshield, I was on the brakes, but was stuck to the truck, so I was dragged behind it for about 50 Feet (Fireman's estimate). In order to get the car free, the truck had to back up, and then push the hood down to pull forward. It hit the car too high to let the airbags go off.

The Rock Star Games site has been counting down to the trailer of GTA IV for a long time, so today when the counter hit 0 I was waiting to watch it. Unfortunately the site instantly stalled due to the high load. I was able to pull the source code from the page, even though the flash did not load, and thought this snippet was cute:
var hasRightVersion = DetectFlashVer(requiredMajorVersion, requiredMinorVersion, requiredRevision);
if(hasRightVersion) { // if we've detected an acceptable version
theDudeAbides();
} else { // flash is too old or we can't detect the plugin
var alternateContent = ''
+ 'The Rockstar Games Presents Grand Theft Auto IV website requires the Macromedia Flash Player 8.'
+ 'Get Flash';
document.write(alternateContent); // insert non-flash content
}

Tonight my Xserve went down at the co-lo. Upon arrival and reboot, I found that 10.4.9 has been released. Software Update for your copy of that update and iPhoto 6.0.6.

Ok, so my blog has been a little quiet lately. February was extremely busy so I am starting March off with a contest. To enter simply leave a comment on this post. A winner will randomly be chosen on the last day of the month. The prize? Issue 5 of the Marvel Civil War series.

I have read a lot about ZFS, but this article by far does the best job of summing up the great features of the new file system.

Can't wait to play a Star Wars game on Wii? Use this program to turn your Wiimote into a motion sensitive lightsaber with sound on Mac OS X. The video below shows it in action. I have also included a fan video of how you could potentially use the Wii controls to really control a Star Wars title. Enjoy.
