The Pi Chart

Collin Van Uden — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 01:49:43 +0000

It is both irritating and amusing that it took a Crop Circle to give me this good a representation of Pi.

Now, Remember the SYMBOL for Pi?

Imagine for a moment, that the symbol is a representation of form (Or Space)

Space, as we know, does not proceed in in a straight line does it? But the way we [...]

Bullies, Bollocks and Divine Infanticide

This post was actually a response to a discussion raised on the IF Project Facebook page. The IF Project is an endeavour by journalist Jane Lee to, in a 100 day timeframe, “launch a new magazine to shed light on the SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL and HUMANITARIAN challenges of the world.”

I suggest you check out and contribute to the [...]

A Red Raw ethical dilemma

Collin Van Uden — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 16:21:04 +0000

We take red for granted. So how do you explain red to those who can't see it? The answer could have more importance than you first thought. [...]

Me vs Atheism

Collin Van Uden — Fri, 28 May 2010 15:38:39 +0000

Before I jump into this, a few quick points, and a disclaimer or two.

(Edit) 0: The title of this post is (deliberately, I’ll admit) misleading. I do not, by any stretch of the imagination ‘oppose’ atheism – but rather the attitude that (in my experience) is held by many who claim that (or any other) view, [...]

HTC Desire: Photos to PC undesirable

Collin Van Uden — Sat, 22 May 2010 15:07:39 +0000

I had to push a photo taken on my HTC Desire to my Laptop today, and got a little stuck. After connecting, it wasn’t immediately apparent which folder contained the photos. A quick Google search sorted it out (not to mention the Pacman awesomosity) but I think this is something HTC could have done a whole lot [...]

Thank you Google… Thank you.

There are certain things that evoke my distant memories of childhood glee. Pocket knives, the smell of burning ant carapace underneath one’s magnifying glass and throwing rocks at stuff come to mind. Oh, and Pacman.

Which happens to be celebrating it’s 30th anniversary today. And Google has gone and created a Doodle to celebrate, as they often [...]

Facedocs failure

With all credit to Microsofts FUSE Labs who spawned the docs.com idea – an initiative to create and host Microsoft Office 2010 documents on the web, and harness the collaborative potential of intergrating the worlds leading (if recently in more than a bit of strife on privacy concerns) social networking site, facebook – but you guys [...]
