Flying
I want to fly
…but I can’t.

I guess I’m getting a bit behind these days. I was just joking a few weeks ago about the possibility of having “pocket projectors” in the future. Turns out they already have them! So tiny too - I can’t believe it.
Example:
Castrade Mini-LED Projector

If you like to take alot of pictures like I do - better yet if you like to hoard a lot of pictures everyone else like I do - you’ll find the times don’t always match up between cameras. It kind of kills the point of having an album if the pictures don’t line.
I tried to come up with a solution with my file modifier, which works, but lacks an interface. I admit that the tool I found here by far trumps mine. If I had known it existed, I wouldn’t even have bothered making mine.
The JPEG Timestamp Modifier basically lets you set all the creation/modified times to the time picture taken (on the EXIF) or you can shift the times up and down by hr/sec increments. You can load multiple files at once as well. I don’t see anything missing from the package. Definitely something to check out.
Found this interesting site and article on how to fly. Sadly, it was the only link available on google (near the top anyways) that was actually related to flying flying - not flying with some giant overpriced piece of metal carrying you. Definitely sounds like fun - I’ll be trying that soon hehe.
I suppose it’s another thing to add to the list of Things to Do. At some point, I do hope to get 42 of them.
Been trying to figure out how to embed Flash the “perfect way” for a while. The conventional way, using both object and embed tags, is not actually compliant or “legal” so to speak. If you validate your site (validator.w3.org), you will run into many errors.
So for a while, everything on my site except the Flash embedding was W3C-compliant. I honestly don’t know why I care, but it just bugged me that one problem was keeping my site from being fully XHTML.
Out of all my searches, I have to say this one is most useful: In Search of… the Perfect Plugin Technique. Not only does it list all the ways to embed Flash and stay within the standards, it lists all the pros and cons of each method.

Sometimes you feel unstoppable, great, as if the world is only beginning, and you are at the center of it all. You get ideas, schemes that you never dared consider before, and now that you have, you feel obligated to pursue them, to drive them as far as you possibly can. At first you're not sure if you're up to the task; the first step looks hard and difficult. Then you toss in the first challenge, the first dream, and then the second, and then the third.
Pretty soon, you're not only tossing and catching all three, you are actually juggling. You can juggle two at a time, worry about the third later. Or you can juggle all three at once, perhaps without even breaking a sweat. Over time, you get better; you've gone far beyond anything you ever hoped to do, juggling three when at first you dared not even juggle one. You're ready for more; you want a challenge.
And so you throw in the…[More]
