i love you because you are the day that simon drives me to work. (and the day he buys me a scone, too. ) i love you because a fine glass of wine or cold beer awaits me after work. i love you because you are the day that new illustrations are posted here. i love you because you remind me to turn off my iphone, shut down my laptop, and just be.
All you have to do, is print the template onto an 8.5×11” piece of card stock (80 lb) with a color printer. Score along dotted lines with a bone folder and a ruler. With an x-acto knife and ruler, cut along solid lines. Fold box together and tape shut with double-sided tape where indicated.

Shut your Mac down, don’t get up... I bought an Apple Mac Mini to use as a media center. Apple ships OS X Leopard with Front Row, which is great, except I found an important feature lacking: you need a keyboard to shut your Apple down. Not what you want in a chique remote controlled home cinema setting. I made a Shut Down plug-in for Front Row. It appears there are a lot of people that don’t want to get up to switch off their Mac up after watching a movie!
Les gens se réveillent petit à petitTraditional payware like Oracle, Perforce, and Microsoft Office had lockin issues, but at least you controlled the software. Vendors couldn’t (usually) shut you down just because they decided your app no longer fit their business model. Cloud vendors can, and you have little to no recourse when they do.
Quite a few suggestions on putting those old boxes to use, including a home FTP server, an always-available MP3 jukebox, a remote-controlled BitTorrent monster, and many more. But we're always intrigued to see what our creative readers are doing to get the most out of their systems, new or old. Tell us what kind of server you're rocking in the poll below, and share the glorious details in the comments—how it's networked, what it can do, whether you can shut it down from your cell phone, and the like. And if you want to point us to any guides you used to create your trusty sidekick, all the better.

Waaaaah! Waaaaaah! You hear that? That’s IE6 whining about how you should be using an obtuse “filter” attribute, causing all those nice, pretty pngs on your page to go whacky. Fortunately for you, we got just the thing to shut it up. Give it just the tiniest dose of our Unit PNG Fix and bask in the the glorious phosphoresence of your png images once again! While this is not the only png fix out there (in fact, it was inspired by Drew McLellan’s supersleight), here’s why it will be the last one you need to download:
The tinnitus started after I was exposed in 1982 to a loud gun shut noise. Ever since I have been trying to seek for tinnitus help with no result.. My ears have not stopped ringing.
YouTube shut down reveals some serious net security weaknesses
The Bush administration’s latest move is to simply hide the data. Forbes has awarded EconomicIndicators.gov one of its “Best of the Web” awards. Yet the Bush administration has decided to shut down this site because of “budgetary constraints,” effective March 1.
The thing is that everyone in Russia is an infringer, which means that everyone is guilty of breaking these strict new anti-piracy laws. That means that anyone can be arrested for being a pirate, so there's no need to gin up a law against dissent, political organizing, homosexuality, or looking cross-eyed at a cop.
Wake on LAN (WOL, sometimes WoL) is an Ethernet computer networking standard that allows a shut-down computer to be turned on remotely. Most of new motherboards that has integrated ethernet controller supports this feature. You can enable the Wake on LAN feature in the Power Management section of the motherboard's BIOS.

It's "for the semi-educated, shut-ins...a lower end evil medium that debases even the poverty-stricken people who watch it." Really, Bruce? So, um, I'm not allowed to watch 30 Rock, The Office, or Arrested Development? Everything has to be a supersaturate
Student DNA, StudentDNA(TM) and LearnerDNA - represents a learning technology and methodology on how students learn and remember content. These trade names and marks are owned by LearnCast(TM) and LearnKey(R)Inc. Founded in 2003 by members of LearnKey " Alliance Team" led by David Clemons Partner and President of LearnKey Inc. Contact David Clemons onlineexpert1@hotmail.com or David.clemons@learnkey.com StudentDNA is considered the "4th Learning Modality", using visual media content, auditory based feeds, interactive feeds and the 4th Modality - StudentDNA, a learning technology, a science of how students learn based on a unique set of measurements of visual, audio and kinesthetic. Our proprietary learning algorithm is the first measurable learning technology that measures the exact % of visual, audio and kinesthetic modes of learning with once extra proprietary measurement. of personal selection and personal interaction with a learning environment and style. Students learn differently, as unique as a human finger print, each student has a unique learning style and very individualized ability to recall information. StudentDNA, LearnerDNA, represents a simple learning technology that actually discovers how a student learns, how long a student is engaged in learning and when they start “checking out” it also offers solutions to a student who does not understand the content presented. StudentDNA / LearnerDNA Students learn differently, as unique as a human finger print, each student has a unique learning style and very individualized ability to recall information. StudentDNA, LearnerDNA, represents a simple learning technology that actually discovers how a student learns, how long a student is engaged in learning and when they start “checking out” it also offers solutions to a student who does not understand the content presented. Today, classrooms are filled with students who feel lost in understanding the content, unmotivated and or unwilling to learn, not tuned in, disengaged and that they are wasting their time. We all hear this too many times from our students. StudentDNA is an underlying technology that operates in conjunction with content and creates a database of user information that is constantly updated each time a student engages in the system. Through a combination of smart learning algorithms, StudentDNA is constantly assessing the user activity in the following manner: Speed in content delivery response Accuracy of interactive hands on labs User attention span Time engaged The goal of StudentDNA/LearnerDNA is to determine the students balance between visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning modalities. Our goal to constantly validate that our processes are effective and keep the users engaged with content best suited for the student providing a better opportunity for the student of retention of the content. We perform checks and balances that seem invisible to the users yet we pull a constant stream of data on how the student is performing. Examples of how StudentDNA works: 1. The goal of StudentDNA is to provide content to each student with intensity based on the total amount of time that a student can endure and show learning engagement. If the average student averages only 17 minutes of focus when presented educational content, what happens when the student has shut off the learning mode and closed down in 12 minutes? Is the remainder 5 minutes wasted Does the student “check out?” What does the student do when they “check out”? Can a mentor determine who is “checked out” when it happens? StudentDNA is performing checks in the background, watching for gaps in response time, speed of reactions to very simple straight forward presentations, accuracy of simple reoccurrences. The power of studentDNA is measuring student engagement and knows when the student needs a break. When a student disengages from a high level to a low level of input, or response and recall, the system flags a learning alert and creates a series of on screen events such as images, games and exercises as well as a “mentorCall”. The mobile alert system – flags that a student is having focus attention issues. The mentor goes one on one and determines the break and mental status of the user. StudentDNA has both an electronic delivery component for presenting content and a communications component that drives information to mentors who need to monitor where students are.
