Rands In Repose: Interview: Marco Arment
Generally, I know I’m done because as I’m testing the migration from the current in-store version to the new version, I cringe at how bad the in-store version is relative to my shiny new development copy. I think, “I can’t believe *that* is what customers are using right now, when they could be using *this*.”

Gurney Journey: Is Moonlight Blue?
These facts added together suggest a mystery at the heart of how we as artists choose to portray moonlight in paintings. If moonlight is just gray-colored light, and if it’s close to the minimal threshold of our color receptors anyway, then why do so many artists paint moonlight as bluish or greenish? Do we really see it that way? Is it some kind of illusion, or perhaps is it just an artistic convention?

Legacy Of Scotlands Old Films Lives On On Youtube (from Sunday Herald)
FILMS DATING back to the very beginning of Scottish cinema are attracting a big new international audience on the internet via the video-share site YouTube. Movie reels of Glasgow city centre in 1901 and Edinburgh Zoo in the 1920s are proving a huge hit with viewers from as far afield as the US and China, following a link-up between the British Film Institute (BFI) and YouTube. The BFI's recently launched YouTube channel was intended to broaden the audience for its old archive films. Many were previously available only to viewers who were prepared to travel to the BFI's headquarters in London.

Arcade Ambience Project
The arcade ambience project is an attempt of mine to simulate the audio ambience of a crowded arcade room during the golden age of arcades in the 1980s. This is a sound I think that has been lost over the years and does not exist in today's pitiful arcades in my opinion. My main motivation for this project was to create some ambience in my basement arcade, having a somewhat authentic arcade background hum while I or my guests play on my MAME arcade cabinet. I thought that maybe others who have cabinets (or just miss real arcade nostalgia) could also benefit from my work.
