Man opens bag of Cheese Rings, finds one

Our lede: “A DARWIN man has opened a bag of chips and found only one inside.”

I think we’re done here.

TO FUTURE PERLMAGICK USERS: ImageMagick libraries are not installed or not installed properly?

Everything is fine. You’ve done everything correctly. Now, do this:

  1. Open your /etc/ld.so.conf
  2. Look at the output of the “make” command from your ImageMagick install. Search for “MAGICK_LDFLAGS = -L”.
  3. I’m guessing it says “/usr/local/lib”. Hmm—telling.
  4. Add a line to your ld.so.conf with that directory.
  5. Run ldconfig
  6. Thank this guy.

I wish you could see the detail of my squid and his santa hat. We take this very seriously. jenbekmanprojects: During the holidays, we sometimes ordered lunch to the office to keep Team JBP well-fed and fully energized. For us, ordering food is a task that invites all of our doodling fantasies to emerge. Above: 12/14, Ugly Holiday Sweaters edition.

This is my new favorite David Yee. I’ve been envious of Raul’s martial arts alter ego for a while, and was pleased to Google up my kung fu attorney doppleganger this morning. Behold his biography, from Chin’s Martial Arts Academy: David Yee is one of the CMAA Instructors at the Contra Costa Chinese School - Diablo Valley College in Concord, CA. David earned Gold Medals at both the August 2007 - 2nd International Kung Fu Wushu Tournament in Oakland, CA and the September 2007 AAU Chinese Martial Arts National Championships in Austin, TX. David competed and won at both tournaments in the Men’s Senior/Executive Divisions (over age 45) for Traditional Northern Shaolin Long Fist Kung Fu. He began his Kung Fu training with Sifu James Man Chin at the Buddha Gate Monastery in 2005. David’s martial art forte is traditional Northern Shaolin Long Fist Kung Fu and self-defense. Professionally, David Yee is a corporate Attorney and a licensed CPA. This man, I guarantee, is making some serious notches in the bedpost of life. Go on, Assistant Coach David Yee, Esq., with your bad self—I am so honored to share the front page of our Google search results with you.

Amazing amazing edition today from Scott Listfield. I’d gladly put it in my living room, but I’ve assembled what I feel is the best possible showcase here. CAVEATS: Furniture showcase does not necessarily reflect the opinions, suggestions, or level of taste generally associated with my employer, 20x200. Showcase depicts a lifestyle I myself could probably not withstand for more than two and a half minutes. Showcase represents lighting scheme not achievable in your home; also, no walls. Showcase includes two animals, one stuffed (“hans”) and one live (“twitta”); animals not required in your own showcase. Lamp in showcase unintentionally but strangely appropriately distorted. Print available in sizes other than enormous and suited for smaller, less Kubrickian contexts.

Not necessarily a great argument for using the medium of Google Wave itself, but a nicely done remix, nonetheless. [via Gizmodo]

Some inventions are so wonderful that, centuries after their discovery, we continue to find new ways of making them speak.  When it was invented, the voice of a piano was so novel; a keyboard instrument that could “sing” long stretches of melody—to the ears of somebody living in the eighteenth century, the piano itself is an aberration. Using it to extract granular “pixels” of sound and recompose the consonants and song of a human voice seems both romantic and perverse. File under: we are aliens on our own world, making fireworks out of cotton balls. [via Unquiet Thoughts]
