…Blog posts don’t follow a simple path?

Wired Blog Post Infographic

Ever wonder what happens to a blog post after “Publish” is clicked?

The post is crawled, indexed, mined, scraped, republished, and propagated throughout the Web, going from servers to spiders to suits – to you.

To help explain this process a bit better, Wired has created a fantastically simple infographic.

Where do you fit in?

…Shawn Blanc loves Transmit and Coda?

Transmit and Coda

Shawn Blanc’s series of reviews for “some of the greatest software available for the Mac” continues, and in addition to NetNewsWire and Mint, he’s also published equally thorough reviews of Transmit and Coda.

Though Transmit is something that I use constantly to keep this site up to date, Coda is new to me, so I was definitely interested in reading Shawn’s thoughts on the two.

If you’re at all interested in the best of the best for the Mac world, then these are must reads, so get to it!

Lesson three includes the clone stamp and manual cloning, and lesson four includes paths and masks, so you’ll be a pro in no time.

Are you ready?

…It’s Movie Monday: Snow Park Rally?

Remember the pics of Ken Block jumping his Subaru around in the snow?

Well now there’s video, and it’s equally amazing:

In addition to that video, there’s also a few others at the DC Shoes site, so be sure to check those out as well.

Anyone want to sponsor a DYH WRX?

…Jesus was held hostage?

CNN Jesus

CNN used to be the place to go for news that mattered, but it’s now (sadly) become the place to go for sensationalized, tabloid worthy garbage.

The following video is a perfect example of the type of ‘crap’ that CNN now reports on:

When the reporter started to read the ransom note, I actually fell out of my chair from laughing so hard.

Poopie from your wieners?

Wiener poopie?

Really?

CNN, how far you’ve fallen.

…You can add bluetooth to your iPod?

Bluetooth iPod

With the launch of Apple’s Air, they’re basically telling the world that wires are soon going to be a thing of the past.

If you’re already ready to jump on that wireless bandwagon, then perhaps it’s time to do a bit of modding.

By adding a Bluetooth dongle to your 4G iPod (you’ll need a steady hand and some decent soldering skills), you can create an iPod with internal Bluetooth capabilities.

(It also converts your iPod over to flash memory, so it’s a bit of a two-for-one deal.)

Join the revolution!

…You can make your own video projector?

Homemade HD Video ProjectorHomemade HD Video Projectors are what happens when you combine art, technology, and determination.

The basic components are an LCD panel from an old media player, optics from an old overhead projector, a very bright light, and whatever components you can scrap together form old electronics.

Though the end result is probably not as good as what you can buy off the shelf, it’s the process that counts, and for these modders, they wouldn’t have it any other way.

…Chat Noir wants to keep the cat?

Chat Noir

Chat Noir is a deceptively simple game.

To win, you must keep the cat from escaping by clicking on dots until it’s surrounded. Each time you click, the cat can move one space.

Can you keep this kitty contained?
