• Commented on Jolicloud: beautiful new OS designed specifically for netbooks
  I'm a little suspicious of a distro that has only offered up mock-up of the UI. The site has no details of kernel, package management, included packages and binaries, etc . . . I've installed about 15 or so different...
• Commented on How to get rid of Vimax ads
  To be fair, the Vimax dns hijack is not a virus. Most security companies would call this an exploit since it only affects web browsers and is not a system-level attack. OpenDNS and Privoxy are the way to go....
• Commented on Walkie-talkie feedback music
  The more walkie talkies the better the feedback loop too. I used work for a facility maintenance crew composed many sonic miscreants who found many time slayers much like this one. Baby heart monitors make wonderful and beautiful feedback as...

• Commented on HOWTO make giant, removable vinyl wall-stickers
  In my experience doing art prep for a small museum, we use vinyl lettering for exhibitions. Sometimes large paragraphs and blocks of text will span areas of 5 meters or more. If the show is up for 3 months the...
• Commented on Bicycles, all you need to know
  I live in Nashville, which is pretty hilly but pretty bike friendly in the core metro area. I grocery shop using a hybrid with 700c tires and a set of metal basket panniers. I commute on a single speed road...

• Commented on Documentary about avant folk
  Actually, New Weird America was coined by Matthew St. Germain. He runs Freedom From Records and co-hosts the DeStijl/Freedom Fests of yore. The Wikipedia entry erroneously attributes the label to David Keenan of The Wire, but MSG coined the term...
• Commented on Documentary about avant folk
  @ACB OMG, you nailed it! I've been to quite a few freak/avant folk fests. Though I am more partial to the New Weird America label since it covers more than folk. I gotta say, drugs and trust funds are major...
