Kelson Vibber: Believe it or not, it’s new. It turns out there’s a whole subset of the toy market for retro toys.It’s a bit different under the hood – I’ve had to fix it once already, and it’s actually chip-driven, not classic music box works. I figure it’s probably cheaper these days to make it with fewer moving parts.

Holes

I know this little hole-in-the-wall place….

(Todo: add tagline to Flickr post)

I think someone’s confused about the concept of step-by-step directions.

Wayne comments on Google+: Haven’t they heard of baby steps? sheesh

Lia comments on Facebook: Soon you will have your very own doomsday device. That is what those instructions are for, right?

You’re Goin’ Down!

Adobe is killing Flash for mobile devices. Looks like Steve Jobs won.

Edited to add: Of course, the real reason you won’t see Flash on a mobile phone is that he can run across the state and tap you on the shoulder before your phone starts ringing.

Updated Netflix thought: Dairy farms get together to raise prices…

9/15: Netflix thought: If dairy farms got together and hiked up the price of milk, would you blame your grocery store for raising their prices?

9/16: It must be the Netflix/studio milk/dairy farm analogy that’s got @Peerindex convinced that I write about breakfast cereal.

9/20: Updated Netflix thought: Dairy farms get together to raise prices, putting the squeeze on your local grocery store. The local store raises their prices to cover their higher costs. People blame the grocery store.

Then the grocery store responds by spinning off a separate store. One store will only sell milk in cardboard cartons and cheese. The other store will only sell milk in plastic bottles or yogurt. This is, of course, to make your life easier.

On Facebook

Of course, there’s always The Oatmeal’s explanation: https://theoatmeal.com/static/netflix.html

Brion adds:

One store pipes fresh delicious milk direct to your faucets, but only carries 1% because the dairy cartel is being paid by another grocery chain for an exclusive right to whole, skim, and 2%.

Some thoughts I had about when it’s better to post something online immediately, and when it’s better to hold off for a bit.

Wayne: Good point. I’m a more later kind of poster mainly because I want to live in the moment. Posting as you experience an event can leave one distracted and I want to get my full “money’s worth” before I go talk about it otherwise I may not have much to talk about. ;p

Though I’ve always wanted to try a live twitter feed of a big presentation like the E3 press conferences with a laptop just for the fun of having the event flow from my fingertips. But that’s mainly because I wouldn’t need to move and I can type without looking at the keyboard. ;>

Me: Great point about actually experiencing an event rather than reporting on it.

I’ve liveblogged a couple of Comic-Con panels, which was kind of neat – but they were all annoucement/Q&A, like a press conference, so they were kind of built for that to begin with. It was neat interacting with people who weren’t there, though, as they offered comments and questions during the event.

Wayne: hehe exactly, I’ve been part of some live tweet sessions giving those comments myself which makes me want to try hosting one. As you said for news bytes they’re short blurts already. (Made for the ADD generation! ;p) So might as well blurt more on it and share. :>

Holy crud, they actually shut down the 101 and shot that 500-car pileup?

Why FlashFoward creators embrace Lost comparison

Holy crud, they actually shut down the 101 and *shot* that 500-car pileup? No wonder it looked so impressive on the screen at Comic-Con!

(I think I’ve mentioned I’m *really* looking forward to this show. I wish they’d come up with a new promotional still, though. There’s this picture and the cast photo.)
