Blumpy.org: In-Brain 3D

Paddington 3-D

Okay, this is about the coolest thing I’ve seen this year!

Blumpy.org : In-Brain 3D shows how you can see any ol’ regular movie in 3-D, simply by playing two copies side-by-side and offset by a fewframes, then crossing your eyes like with a stereogram. (Like this cute little Paddington Bear… but in motion!)

Now let’s sit back and watch, as 15 million Americans all sit cross-eyed at their computer screens… ;)

Now with Gravatar!

Does my blog have the kiss of death or something? Why is it that my implementation of some tool (for instance, YouTube) happens shortly before their site goes down? That can’t be good for my credibility. ;)

Oh well, once they’re back up you should see unique user icons in the comments section of my posts (rather than the “favatar” site icons I had before). Those user icons are called Gravatars (Globally Recognized Avatar), and you can use them anywhere. All you need to do is go to their website and set up an account (e-mail address and a unique password). Then you upload an image, and each time you comment on a gravatar-enabled site (providing your e-mail address) your gravatar will appear.

One more reason to not comment anonymously: if you do, you get the angry “I need a gravatar” monkey beside your comment, and all your friends will mock you nercilessly!

There’s my boy! :)

Daddy’s been busy making preparations for the little guy, and Katie has offered her booster seat to her little brother — on the condition that she can sit in a “big chair” at the kitchen table, of course.

Meanwhile, “Shu-shu” (Katie insists on calling him that!) has been happily kicking his mommy for a few weeks now, and Katie and Daddy have written our first song about him:

Little brother Shu-Shu />Crawling ‘cross the ‘partment />Scooping up the dollies />And bopping ‘em on the head!

(Along came the big sister and she said…)

Little brother Shu-Shu />I don’t want to see you />Scooping up my dollies />And bopping ‘em on the head!

I’ll give you three more chances, />And if you don’t behave, />I’ll tell Mommy on you!

Blogos: ESV Hyper-Concordance

Sean Boisen is looking at a Web 2.0-ish solution to the Semantic Bible Hyper Concordance:

“I spent some time last weekend working on changing the hyper-concordance to a MySql backend. The current implementation simply generates a large number of static HTML files: easy to implement, but a pain to move that much data around. Since there’s a file for each term, that’s about 3000 files, and 30+ Mb of data.

[...]

But my recent ruminations on Web 2.0 buzz got me thinking that it might be time to try building on the ESV Web Service API instead.

Sounds like it’d be great; I can’t wait to check this out!

WP Tiger Administration

Ooh, it’s pretty.

Don’t get me wrong; the WordPress Team has put an awful lot of work into a free resource that’s loved by many (including yours truly). Still, the Admin Panel was always lacking in aesthetics.

Until now. Yep, I’ve just got me a copy of WP Tiger Administration by Steve Smith at Ordered List. This is lightyears beyond the default layout � and I actually enjoy writing in here again!

Much thanks, Steve!

WordPress Plugins! Squee!!!

Oh, this is so cool! I haven’t felt this giddy since I walked down the action figure aisle in Toys’R'Us back in the late ’80s, looking at the hundreds upon hundreds of G.I. Joes…

…where was I? Oh yeah. There’s all these plugins… but it ain’t so easy to figure out what folks are using; and without knowing the lingo, it can be hard to figure out what you’re supposed to be searching for. So, here’s the plugins I’m currently running:

So… if you’re on WordPress, which plugins do you use?
