Wow, it’s interesting what kind of stuff one stumbles across when searching Google for network information: http://www.usmc.mil/maradmins/maradmin2000.nsf/Date1?OpenView
And here I was just Googling for info on SIPR (Secure IP Routing) with the string “sipr dod”.
Yesterday I received a piece of email from a film production company in Toronto asking if I’ll grant them rights to use this photo in a documentary they are making “…about the archaeology of the birthplace of Jesus: the well known Bethlehem.”
The company is AP LTD/ TSU Productions who is located somewhere downtown along Spadina in Toronto. I’m also not sure of any of the details of this documentary nor why they would be interested in such a poorly shot photo (it’s just a random snapshot from when I was wandering around Frankenmuth alone one day), but they do. < shrug >
Digging a bit further, one of this company’s previous works is The Naked Archaeologist which looks like it might actually be interesting. Actually, looking at the dates of this show, this photo might be wanted to be included as part of this series. The aforementioned press release is only from two weeks ago, and it looks like the series isn’t complete yet.
Hmm, I guess I will let them use it… No reason not to…
Now, to figure out how to communicate the release back to them in the most efficient manner.
UPDATE: Hmm, the number to fax the relese to is for the Riverdale Jewish Community Center. Interesting…
Wow, so The Environmental Quality Company in Wayne, MI is currently exploding. Damn.
UPDATE: …and here’s what they do: http://www.eqonline.com/services/audit-mdiwdi/facility_overview.pdf
UPDATE 2: I’ll add photo links here:

UPDATE 3: All photos moved to here (photo gallery retired).
UPDATE 4: Okay, so it seems that this was actually EQ’s company EQ Resource Recovery, Inc.. All the photos have been moved to here, a more appropriately named site.
Okay, remember how nifty the video of the EFT separation at the launch of STS-114 was? Well, it seems that Ecliptic Enterprises made the camera which was mounted on the EFT, and they have this page with a bunch of their videos on it. This includes the incredibly shiny launch, SRB separation, and EFT separation footage from last week.
Oh, so I forgot to mention that on Saturday I headed to Ann Arbor to wander around a cemetary with
I also made a couple of piece of wallpaper for computers:
· Art Fear Graffiti (1280 x 854 for 15″ PowerBooks)
· U of M Law Library Underground Windows (1024 x 768)
· PowerBook Keyboard (1280 x 854 for 15″ PowerBooks, from a test image I took when playing with my camera and dcraw.)
UPDATE: I forgot to mention this, which is the saddest grave I’ve ever seen. Note the small, hand painted stone above the marker. I think Frank or Erika first noticed this…
So it seems that as seen here Saturn, Venus, and Mercury are aligned tonight.
Well, on the way home from my parents house tonight I grabbed a shot of this alignment. The shot is just a quick RAW snapshot that I quickly converted with dcraw, dumped into photoshop, tweaked the color, the exported to a JPEG.
If you’d like to see this image, take a quick look here: http://www.nuxx.net/images/saturn-venus-mercury_alignment_test.jpg
I’ll probably get a better one uploaded later, but you can clearly see the alignment in this shot.
I would have just posted the image itself, but it doesn’t look good too small, and I want to go watch some Frontline right now, not mess with the image. So, just click the link.
UPDATE: Better version behind the cut, or at this link: http://www.nuxx.net/images/saturn-venus-mercury_conjunction_wide.jpg
Just a warning for friends of mine using Windows… If you use iTunes for Windows and come across people mentioning a “plugin” for it called BadApple which purports to add Podcast support right into iTunes, don’t install it.
Well, maybe install it, but read this post which I made to
This is not a “plugin” and it’s borderline malicious software. While it appears to do what’s claimed, it’ll also make a good number of unintended changes to your machine.
Wow, so Dry Creek Photo offers color profiles for various labs’ digital color printers. If they don’t have location profiled yet, you can have the store print a particular file, then send it in and they’ll profile it. Turns out that most Costcos have already been profiled, which is just *great*. Heh… And I thought their prints looked good already.
Turns out there’s a bunch of info online to help one target their images to particular company’s printers. Like this.
So it seems that SSI has added more demos to it’s movie gallery of actual shredding. In addition to previous videos of things like a boat and a steel drum of concrete, they’ve got new videos such as a BMW and Refrigerators.
Mmm. Such a wonderful site.
Well, in case anyone hasn’t heard yet, Apple is moving to Intel CPUs.
This is for serious, and in my opinion, probably a good thing.
