Review: The Tourist
The Tourist was beautiful!
Completely ignore all the marketing hype, it's overdone.
With that out of the way, Jolie is enchanting and "ravishing". Depp plays a normal person with an ease that transcends acting.
It's a simple but highly effective fairytale story of ultimate love, throw in a twist of action and espionage, and you have a delightful film that appeals to both sexes.

Web Based Visio style App
I'm not sure what the limitations after trial period are, but for 30 days, http://Gliffy.com is an awesome Visio style web tool that's really helping me visualize my small business network. It will let you graphically layout any number of things from Networks, to mind-maps and program models. It comes with a fairly comprehensive grouping of categorized images for placing on your page. Customization is easy, versions are saved automatically, and the magnetic lines really do a great job of following your items and figuring out placement. At $5 per user past trial, if you do this sort of thing often, but not ALL the time, it just may be worth it. -JABrown

Any #networking and/or #osx #xserve gurus wanna take a look and answer some of my simple Questions?
I'm proposing a a networking over haul for our base of operations here in Salem, Oregon. I have rudimentary Networking knowledge and I've proposed the following design for our network. however, there are a few questions I have.Networking StructureWe desire to launch a base-wide network with OS-X server to perform the following tasks:
Managed Traffic LoadWe propose a balanced multi WAN router (Peplink 310 or 30) to receive input from 3 Qwest DSL lines for approximately 36Mbs throughput to the internet. The Peplink models can manage user groups and throttle accordingly but it is unsure if this can be done through the server better. Or can the server and router share user-groups to avoid multiple logins?Asset SharingFiles and contacts will be shared through access to the server. It is desirable to make the server files structure the default for saved files.Render NodesThe server and Intel OS-X Client Nodes should be accessible and configured for Final Cut render sharing through Compressor from the Communications Office.DHCP AssignmentThe Peplink router will have the IP address: 192.168.0.1 (gateway 255.255.255.0) and Assign IP’s in a range from *.*.*.20-254 to allow for static IP’s between the range of *.*.*.2-19Again, unsure if IP assignment can be done better through the server. Can the main router (or server) manage subnets for departments as well? Should the server act as an interim to between the network and the gateway, or should the server be an offshoot of the network?Subnets should be for departments over LAN and WLAN (as seen on Networking Map) and double as Guest AP’s / Extenders.
• Managed Traffic Load
• Multi-LAN/WLAN multiple DSL lines
• Prioritized traffic groups (server or router?)
• Throttled guests (server or router?)
• Asset Sharing
• Contacts
• Files
• Render Nodes (Final Cut)
• DHCP Assignment
• Subnets for Departments or Buildings (server or router?)
• Room for static IP’s
• User groups
• Managed asset access
• Accountability Online per user
• Program access
• Custom desktops
• Time Machine Backups
• Individual node backup over server
• Wireless Access Points / Extenders
• Managed by server group?
• Guest WiFi
• Staff Wifi/LAN

• ToDo: Map Channel Optimization for WLAN AP’s
User GroupsIt is desirable to have custom fetched desktops, program access, and shared asset access based on user-group assignment. Also, tracking and reporting of NSFW web activity. Time Machine BackupsA 4TB FAT32 server attached RAID 5 drive for OS-X and Windows system backup. Scheduled and managed by the server for individual nodes.Wireless Access Points / ExtendersDedicated AP’s in bridged extender mode can be placed in weak zones to extend range of Subnet Routers. Access and bandwidth are hoped to be controlled by user-group. Sys-Admins and staff have access to internal network. Guests have access to certain printers, and the internet with global and per user throttling.Networking Structure.pdf (1009 KB)

BREAKING: Gabriel the Archangel was delayed for 2/10ths of a second!
Some say dark matter is the etheral stuff. Maybe the "God Particle". What if it's what angels are made of. Might give a fun new meaning to Daniel 10:13!

Macro time-lapse foulplay!
I'm am saddened yet strangely relieved to find that my second mycological macro time-lapse has been the victim of foul play.
My wife warned me she had seen someone romping around the general area will reckless abandon and sure enough, my mushrooms have been devastated. At least they got out of the ground before someone performed a Godzilla routine on them this time.
Just to recap, I found these mushrooms when they were just just wee little tykes just barely pushing up the soil.
I vowed to take a photo with my iPhone 4 everyday in hopes of capturing these elusive cultures growing. In the process I learned a lot about mushrooms, the cryptic study of their species (mycology) and a new found love for earthiness.
This photo captures the last days of my spore friend.
My plan at this point is to look past all the short coming of using an auto everything camera (iPhone 4) to do a multi-week time-lapse, and compile it into a video short showing the growth of this mushroom patch.
You'll notice there are little plastic figurines in the photos. Yep, those are Risk pieces. I found them on the ground. I knew I'd need some sort of tracking points for stabilizing later and it turns out they really don't stand out all as much as I had hoped. Time to put this in After Effects and see what I can do.

Scientists discover new weight loss formula! The "programmers diet". Programmer @joshuab86 reports, "I try not to eat too much or exercise much for that matter. I find that by losing myself in my work I can forget to eat often. Furthermore, lack of exercise allows my muscles to atrophy giving me that sleek girlish figure I've always wanted."
