Lets talk about REST

Its great to see all this talk about REST. Now if only they could figure out the difference between a resource and its representations (the R in REST) and pry the XML off HTTP and discover media types.

*sigh*

A funny thing...

A funny thing happened to me on the way,
I was suddenly nowhere.
I stumbled upon some words,
brought back memories of those days.
The wind knocked off my prosthetic leg,
and I fell!

It's really all just about the ride

And the winner of the Firefox Flicks Video Contest is: <drumrolls> Daredevil, by Pete Macomber </drumrolls>


Watching that reminded me of Waking Life. The part where the girl in the Daredevil video says:

It's really all just about the ride.

reminded me of the man in the boat/car saying:

The ride does not require an explanation. Just occupants.

:)


The one part from Waking Life that keeps playing in my head these days given where I currently am in my life is something the now late UT Austin philosophy professor Louis Mackey says:

... So what are these barriers that keep people from reaching anywhere near their real potential? The answer to that can be found in another question, and that’s this: Which is the most universal human characteristic - fear or laziness?

hmm...

Here's a synopsis and the script but I highly recommend watching Waking Life, if for nothing else but the innovative animation and rotoscoping technique that gives the movie a surreal feel in keeping with the protagonist's persistent dreamlike state.


Oh, and dont forget to check out the second place winner of the Firefox Flicks Video Contest "Wheee!" by Jeff Gill. It cracks me up! ROTFL! =))

That's an ex-programmer (Matt Harding) who quit his job and used his savings to travel around the world! Why?




[Audio] Odeo: Return From Madness - where have I been?

A bizarre adventure caused a long absence. I do my best to explain where I’ve been for three months, without mentioning any names. I lost myself and am only just now coming back from a deep emptiness. A little quote from Salvador Dali, an ad for “instant problem fixing cream”, and my “Theme to Forever”, a piece I wrote 25 years ago or more...
