Continuing my YouTube dedications: This one is for Allie and for all of the hundreds (if not thousands) of hours we spent in our neighborhood pool in Valencia dreaming of working with dolphins at Sea World.  She’s now a teacher and I make websites.

We messed up.

Multispectral vision.  Matt and I had a good talk about this on the way home last night.  Our question: if we saw things in different waves (i.e. what if we saw radio waves), would things appear at a lower resolution.

We think that City Gates, one of our Rails applications, might have sprung a little memory leak… something to the tune of 5MB/hour. In an effor to remedy this, I’ve been using Scott Lairds MemoryProfiler. And being the visual guy I am, I wanted more visually appealling data to look at (if I’m going to have to trouble shoot something as nasty as this, it might as well look nice). So I wrote a simple flex application that parses the log file into a pretty graph.

This guy comes across as a little crazy… but his work is amazing… which gives me reason to pause and reflect on my own artistic endeavors may have been received.

An information architect from KU is running for office in Kansas City, and he’s doing it with style, including an XKCD-style comic and this quote: “Running for Office: It’s Like A Flamewar with a Forum Troll, but with an Eventual Winner” via Matt

Wow.  This hit a lot closer to home than I’d like to admit.
