visceral logic
I finally posted my pictures from South America @flickr. Chloey’s pics are available in her photostream too. Enjoy.
POIs…
Our hotel in Puerto Varas, Chile – Los Colonos Del Sur
Our apartment in Palermo, Buenos Aires, Argentina
And did I mention that I love Photoshop?
Hooray for ballpoint pens! Today marks the 65th anniversary of the patent of the ballpoint pen by László & Georg Bíró; true life-hackers. László, a Hungarian newspaper editor, was inspired by the numerous annoying rips fountain pens created when marking up copies of his paper. Eventually he and his brother fled Hungary at the start of WWII and developed the Birome pen for production in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Incidentally, photos from Chloey’s and my trip to BsAs and Chile are now available in her photostream. They’re awesome.
As much as I love to type (until my wrists give out), nothing can replace a solid notebook and a trusty pen. I plan to take some time this evening to sit down and really enjoy my moleskin with one of the decendents of Bíró’s technical wonders. My personal favorites currently are the Pilot G-2 05/07 and the Uniball Signo 207 Micro.
Also, upcoming on the nonrat’l blog, I’ve more-or-less finished my clean upgrade to Hardy Heron and those notes will provide for at least three or four posts and patches on kernel 2.6.25, Tux-on-Ice, PATA cable detection, and iwlwifi led.c tomfoolery.
