It’s about time someone did.

Retro gaming goodness: PIXELS

April 8th, 2010  |  by mykl  |  published in observed

I’m blown away by this short film by Patrick Jean (of Paris-based One More Production).

Happy Pi Day 2010!

March 14th, 2010  |  by mykl  |  published in observed, photography

My photo homage to Pi Day from last year. “Pi, Greek letter (π), is the symbol for the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Pi = 3.1415926535… Pi Day is celebrated by math enthusiasts around the world on March 14th.” Read more at piday.org Want even more pi? Check out the [...]

I’m back (from outer space)

February 14th, 2010  |  by mykl  |  published in observed

My original plan was to take a few weeks off from blogging in January to get a jump on some plans I had in place for the new year. I guess I lost momentum after that because as the subsequent weeks went by I had less and less motivation to get back to it. So [...]

I was on Future Tense this morning!

July 29th, 2009  |  by mykl  |  published in communication, observed

I guess my 15 minutes starts now. Today’s broadcast of Future Tense, an American Public Media segment airing on public radio, included my thoughts on how easy it is to use Gmail on my G1 Android phone. You can listen below.

It’s Star Wars Day, apparently

May 4th, 2009  |  by mykl  |  published in music, observed

May the fourth be with you. Get it? It was news to me, but apparently this has been going on for some time. Nevertheless,  I’ve always embraced strange holidays. So in the spirit of this occasion, I’ve whipped up a themed mix. Enjoy!

Twitter in real life

April 29th, 2009  |  by mykl  |  published in observed, social web

There is something inherently funny to me about someone saying “meh” out loud. Am I alone on this? Watch Real Life Twitter and more funny videos on CollegeHumor

Where the Wild Things Are Trailer

March 25th, 2009  |  by mykl  |  published in observed

I can’t wait to see this! Where the Wild Things Are was one of my favorite books as a child.  Even though the off-screen production drama has long cast doubt on the movie’s fate, this freshly-premiered trailer gives me hope that my children and I will indeed be on line in October.

Design Goodness: Dr. Seuss Google logo

March 2nd, 2009  |  by mykl  |  published in designers, observed

This is probably my favorite themed Google logo so far. They unveiled this masterpiece today in honor of Dr. Seuss‘ 105th birthday. A fitting tribute to a man whose creations resonate as strongly today as they did when they were first published decades ago. “I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is [...]

TOS: Terms of Service or Turmoil Over Semantics?

February 18th, 2009  |  by mykl  |  published in observed, social web

If you were online over the past few days, you probably heard about Facebook’s attempt to change it’s terms of service and the ensuing uproar this caused. They have since rescinded the changes pending further review. The sticking point seemed to be a combination of who “owns” the things users put on Facebook  and what [...]
