Beautiful sunset with a tree... Or is it?

Okay, okay, the sunset was a picture I found on the Internet (c) Michael Wang 2005, but I did make the tree myself. It consists of one 3-foot CAT-5 Ethernet cable that I cut into small ~5" pieces before slicing open the tops, exposing the twisted pairs of copper wire, which I then craftily fashioned into the life-like tree you see before you.

Hope you enjoyed the art. Re-tweet if you liked it.

The best kept secret of Starbucks: order a "short" instead of "tall" or "grande" and save some dough.

More fall colors on display at work

This one is actually at my office building. Again, taken with iPhone (1st gen FTW), processed with AutoStitch.

TweetDeck not working behind your corporate firewall? Try this.

Sometimes you've got a pesky firewall (AKA "proxy server") in your way that prevents you from accessing certain websites. TweetDeck, a popular twitter client running on the Adobe Air platform, seems to have some issues connecting to twitter behind my corporate firewall. I came to find out recently that it is not TweetDeck that is to blame, so much as it is Adobe.

Anyway, here's the fix. Once TweetDeck launches, click on the question mark button at the top right (the tooltip will say "Launch TweetDeck Support"). What should happen is a little window pops up asking you for your proxy server username and password, and then the TweetDeck support website will open. Once this happens, simply click the Refresh button in TweetDeck and your tweets should appear.

Did this work for you, too? Post a comment and let the world know.

Another beautiful sunset at the apartment

The bright white in the pic is actually a deep orange that's much better appreciated in person.

The old "cracked LCD" prank

The setup: friend steps out and leaves computer unlocked (bad security). You step in and display an image of a cracked LCD full screen, then turn off the keyboard and mouse. Trackpad, too.

Sorry, but opportunity... she was a knocking. :-)
