Jenna Fischer is hot
Just throwing this out there to see if it sticks…but I think they need to write more episodes of the office where Pam somehow ends up dressed like this.
…maybe I can guest star. …maybe we can somehow find out how to make out on the show. …then maybe Lindsay Lohan comes in, and you know she won’t be wearing a bra, and she starts joining in. Nice. …Then maybe right when we all get naked I wake up in front of my computer under a pile of comic books, Apple stickers and Weird Al Yankovic albums and realize I’m a geek and not the sexy secret agent I make myself out to be on eHarmony. A geek that suddenly as laundry to do.
Notes: How to fix a lack of flash video sound in OS X
Today, all of a sudden the audio for flash video died in all browsers on my G5 iMac at home. Restarted. No go. Call the computer and “fucking piece of shit” while clicking on everything but changing nothing in my system preferences. No go. Restarted again. No go. Then I found this:
Every once in a while though, on Mac OS X it can happen that these Flash video players don’t have sound anymore.
It is pretty hard to figure out why, and the solution is quite random, but on macosxhints I found a comment mentioning that it could be a sampling rate problem:
1. open /Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup
2. check the properties for Built In Output.
3. It might be set to 96KHz. Change it to 44KHz and audio in Flash will return immediately.Now, I don’t know what software it is messing up that setting, but I am glad it can be fixed.
Odd. But it worked. The issue I’m having is what do I set it too if it happens again?

“I changed my stylesheet! To someone else’s!” Why isn’t that funny? Because I still knew it was your site.
SixApart’s Hackathon
SixApart, the company that makes the MovableType blogging platform, hosted a “Hackathon” day where people could just come, hang out and make cool stuff for Movable Type.
For those, like me, that missed out on the fun: Here is the flickr photo stream and here are a few select videos uploaded by one of the attendees. (via Learning Movable Type)
Why don’t they ever do this kind of thing in St. Louis? Seriously.
A Nasty Fat-Chick-like Update: These video were apparently recorded on a camera someone stole from a museum. They are tough to watch and even listen to. Bummer.
EMI is rumored to announce tomorrow, with Steve Jobs on hand, that they will be now selling their music with no DRM baked in. Way to go EMI, now just get your other music label buddies to follow you to the good side and the world will be a better place. (via Daring Fireball)
Just to show EMI some love, I will find something to buy from them. They’ve earned it.
A Twitter Confession with Questions
I’m not going to lie. I’m hooked on Twitter. Its fun and everyone is on it.
I still have some questions though:
1. Where is this going to go? How long will it be cool? Is it going to die before Summer hits or will it find a niche in the web somehow?
2. Who’s going to use their API to make the first really amazing application? Twittervision is cool, but will there be any really useful apps in the near future?
3. Why don’t I have more friends and followers? Self answer: All my friends and co-workers are way to slow and none of them use Twitter.
4. Assuming some really cool app comes around will the fact that you have to be a Twitter member slow its usage in any group other than hard-core bloggers?
5. Why is it so fucking hot in my apartment right now?
6. What did Lindsay Lohan do to suddenly get sexy again?
7. What was I talking about?
