As described by my friend Scott:
The Audio is Microsoft introducing Vista… The Video, well, Steve Jobs would be proud:
Introducing the REAL Windows Vista, Episode I.
Really clever and totally awesome, the video basically has audio of Microsoft talking about “brand new” features in Windows Vista, edited over video of someone showing those features in Tiger.
Fucking great.

PIcture of Ian rocking the Denver public skate park yesterday.
This video of animated alien-ish plant life creeps me the fuck out. More, here. Via FutureFeeder
Voters in Denver have passed a measure that makes it legal for residents over the age of 21 to possess up to an ounce of marijuana.
Too bad some of us here on Alternate live in Englewood…. Heh.

There’s still more time! Since we decided to do the American Walk for Diabetes in Boulder instead of Denver, hoping for better weather, you can still make your donation to the cause.
You want my son to get cured, right? You have a little extra cash, right? Do I need to draw you a picture? Thanks to Tai and Phil for donating through Alternate. Ian appreciates it.
Yeah, so I don’t post much. Really, at all, any more. It’s sad.
So I’ve decided this afternoon, to kill the last few minutes at my fabulous new job by posting random shit I’ve found of interest lately.
Want to get in on all of the “Web 2.0/Ruby On Rails/AJAX + other buzzwords” action, but don’t really want to learn Ruby or Rails? Well, then jump straight into using the behind-the-scenes Javascript fancy-ness by using the ridiculously cool Script.aculo.us library to render your effects. For extra buzzworthiness, use the easy-as-pie Behaviour framework to implement your new-found special effects without a million onclick handlers all over the place. Fancy2.
The new Tristeza album coming out in November is really, really good. I can’t tell you where I got it but damn if it isn’t pretty hot, even if James LaValle isn’t in the band anymore. There is enough room in this world for both Tristeza and the Album Leaf. Add to that my favorite new band, Rogue Wave and you’re in indie rock heaven. Even if Rogue Wave did have a song on the Napoloeon Dynamite soundtrack.
I’m hoping really hard that my next project at work can find inspiration from something at Visual Complexity, quite possibly the coolest interface resource I’ve found in a long time.
This is a neat ad for Playboy, utilizing rain as way of shifting the message. Slightly.
You know you have a problem when even you skip over your blog’s tab in Safari. “Why go there? There’s nothing new, and I know, because it’s mine. And it sucks.”
Sigh.
I recently accepted the challenge of walking in the American Diabetes Association’s America’s Walk for Diabetes fund-raising event. I am taking part in this event because I believe in and support the Association’s mission: to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.
You, too, can help by supporting my fund-raising efforts with a generous contribution. Your tax-deductible gift will make a difference to more than 18 million Americans who are affected by diabetes and another 40 million who are at risk for developing diabetes. It is faster and easier than ever to support this great cause – you can make your donation online by simply clicking this link.
