Shane on Jun 3rd, 2008World’s Strangest Looking Animals
A photo thread with some of the strangest animals I’ve ever seen. The particular creature is a Star-nosed Mole.
Shane on Apr 8th, 2008My Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor
I finally got around to watching the TED talk by Jill Bolte Taylor. Wow. It’s a very emotional talk. One of my favorites of TED.
Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened — as she felt her […]
Shane on Apr 7th, 2008Keep Austin Beautiful
I volunteered this past weekend at Clean Sweep 2008, which is a big event in Austin where groups all around the city pick up litter along roads, in parks, etc. I thought it was a lot of fun. In my area I think 10 people signed up, and about 6 showed up. I think in […]

This is hilarious.
Someday I’ll write my big asp.net rant.
Shane on Apr 3rd, 2008Music and Life - Alan Watts
An Inspiring Video with audio by Alan Watts. The animation looks almost exactly like south park. I wonder if it’s from the same guys.
Shane on Mar 26th, 2008WTFood

Shane on Jun 1st, 2007New Webserver
I just got done migrating all my sites to a new Debian Etch server. The older CentOS server only had 1 gig of ram and used Cpanel for management. My main reasoning for switching servers was cpanel. I host a handful of Rails sites and Cpanel only supports Apache 1.3 which really held me […]
Shane on Mar 7th, 2007My Game Ideas
I just released a new site called My Game Ideas. Here’s the little summary/description of the site…
If you’re a gamer, I’m sure you’ve had many ideas for games before. Maybe it’s just a minor change to an existing game, or an entire new concept for a game. It seems these days there’s less creativity in […]
Shane on Sep 15th, 2006Robot Walrus
I have a bad habit of buying limited edition art prints, getting them custom framed, and hanging them all over my house. It’s good in that my walls aren’t boring, but bad for my poor wallet. I have an elaborate system setup so I know as soon as possible when a new print is released […]
