I'm not entirely sure what's wrong with me. I may be bored out of my mind at work. Regardless, I actually turned my Facebook chat on for the first time in months. The cool thing is that I found out I can hide my active chat availability from folks I don't really want to talk to. (So if you see me online, you're not one of them. :P)

Haynes Guide to the Atari 2600 | ThinkGeek - http://www.thinkgeek.com/product...

10 years ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

"Ready to build your own Atari 2600? If there really was a Haynes Manual for it, you would be able to do it in your own living room. The awesome thing about this Haynes Manual concept is: you could actually build an emulating hardware version with plans on the Internet. But this shirt reflects a simpler time. A time when Space Invaders was the pinnacle of gaming awesomeness. A time when E.T. got buried in the desert." - CAJ - -

"What world the world have been without Polaroids? How would the local grocery store have recognized their Employees of the Month? Outkast's "Hey Ya!" would make absolutely no sense. And the guy in Memento would be totally lost. It would be madness! Lucky for us the members of The Impossible Project, launched in 2008, bought the world's last Polaroid production plant and began the work of producing new film products for the thousands of Polaroid cameras out there in the world." - CAJ - -

"Even Deadpool needs a vacation sometimes. His favorite place to go to relax is the birthplace of the Hawaiian Shirt. That's right: Earth! Really, Deadpool is always relaxed... especially when the pineapples are really just grenades in disguise. And the flowers are really... um... ok, they're just flowers. But the Deadpools are totally Deadpools in Deadpool disguises. So tricky." - CAJ - -

Shockwave 8" Transformers Vinyl Figure | ThinkGeek - http://www.thinkgeek.com/product...

10 years ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

"Shockwave is cool for two reasons. First, he was Megatron's right hand bot, who stayed on Cybertron to rule over it as Megatron popped out for (what turned out to be) a four million year intercept mission. Second, he was one of the coolest Transformers toys ever, because he actually lit up and made noise when he was in gun mode and you pulled the trigger. Such memories. So, how does one celebrate everything Shockwave? By creating this Shockwave 8" Transformers Vinyl Figure!" - CAJ - -

Ahahahahahahahahaha "You got: FUCKWIT You are hardcore. You have very little patience for stupidity and people don’t really get your sense of humor. That’s mostly because it’s usually mean-spirited, but also because you come across like you’re not actually joking. You could probably use a good massage, but you won’t get one because you think that’s stupid and you don’t need one. But you do. Massages are nice, ya fuckwit." - CAJ - -

I wonder if there's a name for the intentional delay in replying to a work email during your time off? While I do keep up during the week reading emails, I don't want them to KNOW I'm doing it since it's my time off. :)

My last manager thought I was crazy answering his emails on my off time, in the middle of the night, which was work time for him (company is located in AU). Crazy, but he appreciated the quick responses to questions, which meant he wouldn't have to wait to reply back to me again, if it was necessary. If I had only answered his emails during my working hours, what was a quick email conversation in almost real-time, would have been dragged out for days, since neither of us worked the same hours. - CAJ - -

Project HoloLens: Our Exclusive Hands-On With Microsoft's Holographic Goggles | WIRED - http://www.wired.com/2015...

"It’s the end of October, when the days have already grown short in Redmond, Washington, and gray sheets of rain are just beginning to let up. In several months, Microsoft will unveil its most ambitious undertaking in years, a head-mounted holographic computer called Project HoloLens. But at this point, even most people at Microsoft have never heard of it. I walk through the large atrium of Microsoft’s Studio C to meet its chief inventor, Alex Kipman. Alex Kipman. Andrew Hetherington The headset is still a prototype being developed under the codename Project Baraboo, or sometimes just “B.”" - CAJ - -

"Holograms are the next evolution in computing. With this vision in mind, hardware, software, and user design engineers came together to create a new canvas for creators and developers. Microsoft HoloLens, together with Windows 10, introduces a powerful new holographic platform. The era of holographic computing is here." - CAJ - -

If they can deliver on the concept, I'll be happy to give them a stack of cash. - CAJ - -

To eek a little more life of an older TV, I'm trying track down an inexpensive way to convert HDMI to DVI plus RCA (L/R). I might be able to go HDMI to Component +Audio assuming I can find the cables for the device plugged in there. It might just be my bad searching but my usual go-to Monoprice didn't seem to have what I was looking for.

To follow up, it works like a champ. There was only a small issue when I was hooking it up. I couldn't figure out why there wasn't any audio. I tried different adapters and cables. Reset all the equipment. And then I finally realized I had connected it wrong. The RCA input was on the left of the DVI port...not the right. Oopsie! (And to think I had a perfectly clear picture available to me!) - CAJ - -

For those who tip pizza delivery people, do you give a flat rate or percentage of the bill? Because I just ordered pizza and it occurred to me that delivering one or three pizzas is pretty much the same work.

10 years ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

I usually go flat amount - always at least $5, since I know that none of the places in town cover gas, and most make them pay for their own insurance. If it is a super darn busy day, or a holiday, I'll usually throw in a bit more. (Also, if it is an unusually large order.) - CAJ - -

A waiter at a high-end restaurant doesn't do more work than a waiter at a low-end restaurant (and maybe does less), but gets paid a lot more in tips regardless. The system isn't necessarily fair but it is what it is. - CAJ - -

I briefly considered making a daily....err, fairly regular...vlog about being the husband of a scrapbooker/paper crafter/online instructor. Alas, I fear it would only degenerate into whining and bitching which would solve nothing. But man...I have so many things to say about glitter and how it's the herpes of crafting. Oh, yeah...bitchy. :)

I feel your pain. I have even found glitter on a plate of food. In the vents of my laptop. In my briefcase. On my clothes. On my face. On the carpet. On the coffee table. In the sink. - CAJ - -

This was going to be a #SaturdayFF but seemed more like a Confession. (Plus it's now Sunday.) I'm terrible at relationships. And I don't only mean the romantic kind. I've never felt like I was able to be a good friend. I feel I'm overly self-centered as I sometimes have a "sucks to be you" instead of "how can I help" response...cont.

10 years ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

...to people who want or may need my support. I'm terribly non-empathic and realize I just don't know how to respond to folks going through bad times. "Hugs" and "Thinking of you" just seem like words and I don't know how that could be supportive. - CAJ - -

6 other comments...

I totally understand the reluctance to offer, "hugs" or other words on social media, for fear they have such little meaning when not delivered in person. I often choose no response over one that I fear is empty. And then in person, it's not easy to say words of support either (although I'm capable of giving a real hug). - CAJ - -
