four

by blackgoldfish
Today, my baby, you turn four. When did this happen? Was it not just yesterday that I had to put you inside my coat to keep you warm? Now look at you! Almost as tall as your sister with just as much spunk. Happy Birthday my punkin. What four is looking like so far: You pronounce your Rs as if you lived in Boston your whole life- A feather is a featheh. You sing from dawn to dusk- singsong monologues of your life. You eat a peanut butter sandwich every single day. You wake up hungry and must immediately eat a granola bar or your world collapses. You love coffee Your favorite color is blue You swing so high that I have to hold in my own concern because I see how much you need to do it. When you get mad, I suggest people step away, as you get a bit ferocious. You will brush my hair four an hour straight, and therefore I'll not ever cut it. You like to get your back lightly scratched, just like Mama. Happy Birthday, my sweet girl. Every day with you is a treasure and a surprise. I love you.

"learn to write about the ordinary. give homage to old coffee cups, sparrows, city buses, thin ham sandwiches. make a list of everything ordinary you can think of. keep adding to it. promise yourself, before you leave the earth, to mention everything on your list at least once in a poem, short story, newspaper article."

love thursday: 24 simple ways to show love in the next 24 hours

by blackgoldfish
1. Buy coffee for the guy standing behind you at the coffee shop. 2. Open the door for someone before entering yourself. It doesn't matter if you're a girl and he's a boy, or you're a boy and she's a girl, or you're both boys, or you're both girls. You can do it. 3. Send a quick email to someone you haven't heard from in a while. It can just say, "Hey, I was thinking about you. I hope you're well." Trust me, it will make her day. 4. Send a small, handwritten note -- via regular mail! -- to someone far away. It can just say, "Hey, I was thinking about you. I hope you're well." Trust me, it will make his day. 5. Give someone flowers, just because. They don't have to be expensive. The blossom above was part of a grocery-store bouquet that cost $3.99. The recipient really isn't going to care that it wasn't expensive. I promise. 6. Invite someone to your home. Have something baking in the oven for them when they arrive. 7. Light a candle and think of someone who is going through a rough time. Silently offer them good thoughts/prayers. 8. Pick a charity. Give something. 9. Buy a magazine subscription for a friend out of the blue. 10. Give blood. 11. Prepare someone's tea. In my opinion, it's a wonderful act of love to not just put the hot water and a teabag in front of a friend, but actually prepare and steep the tea for them. 12. Tell a child -- or someone who is struggling with self-esteem -- how great you think they are. And mean it. 13. The next person who serves you a meal at a restaurant, or helps you in a store, or sells you your morning newspaper, look him in the eyes, smile, and say "thank you" with as much sincerity as you can muster. 14. Give someone a heartfelt hug. Just because. 15. Start a hopeful revolution: leave a hope note somewhere. Extra points if you leave it on the windshield of a stranger's car. 16. Offer to cook a meal for someone. 17. Offer to give someone a break -- babysit, hire a maid service for them, or even straighten her house yourself. 18. Clean out your closet. Give the gently-used clothing you no longer want to a shelter. 19. Take a photograph of something beautiful. Send it to someone, with the note: "This reminded me of you." 20. Give someone something of yours -- a book, perhaps, or a small trinket -- with no expectation of return. 21. Blow out a candle. Make a wish on someone else's behalf as you do it. 22. Make a short list of the things you love about someone you love. Leave the list where they can find it. 23. Make a date to have coffee or a glass of wine with an old friend. 24. Say "I love you." Mean it.

24 hours in SF: A Geolocation App - Google App Engine - Google Code

by karlcow

Never knowing when a strike of inspiration will cause me to work until late at night (or early in to the morning), I always wanted an application that could tell me where I could grab a cup of coffee or bite to eat where I was, when I was looking, be it 1pm or 1am. So, I decided to write such an application, with the Google Gears Geo-Location API to determine location, geolocation to search for nearby businesses, and Google Maps for easy visualization.

Ponoko Blog

by karlcow

If anyone has ever been involved in Industrial Design, Interior Design or Architecture for a large (or even mid sized) corporation you will know the pain of an incredibly slow process punctuated by hours of mind numbing meetings where an original concept is diluted beyond recognition by accounts, engineering, marketing, middle management, upper management, directors and the weird guy who is either in the IT department or servicing the coffee machine.

The Coffee machine on Twitter - flash and physical computing

by karlcow

This is an overview of the hardware/software/services I used:

Sensor > Arduino > Processing > PHP > Twitter

A LDR (light dependent resistor) is glued on the on/off led of the coffeemachine. When the coffeemachine is switched on the led turns on, the ldr detects this light. This LDR is connected to an Arduino microcontroller, Processing reads the value from the Arduino using Firmata and Processing sends this to a php file which will send it to Twitter.

Things to smile about : {my topography}

by blackgoldfish (via)
It was a better day. There was coffee and sunshine. Sprout’s smiles & coos. Bean’s fever was still there, but lower, and we hung out together and planted seeds and drew pictures and ate soup. Somehow we managed not to all cry at once, and we went for a run.
