Tommi found a couple of nice trick on wordpress this weekend; this one is naked wordpress theme so that it’s easier and faster to kick off a custom theme design.

via Tommi (again) – let’s you replace any html text by a flash file generated on the fly which let’s you use custom not standard typefaces…

nice writing about a Moleskine competitor

Via Markus – another rant against FaceBook after the one send by Adriana, makes me wonder why not to start a kind of workshop to teach people how to get the same thing as FaceBook with their own tools and intelligence

it seems like electricity is magic!

WordPress can displace or pass over one or more initial posts which would normally be collected by your query through the use of the offset parameter.

to check; it seems to crash with WP2.3.3 but it might be just a problem of header

Electricity, design, new technology, responsability and death
It might be a while ago but I have been quite deeply shocked this morning when I heard about what happened last November in Vancouver Airport, Canada. This video below is just another way to speak about what happened there:
[youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppjFalU7ZpI 450 300]
Megaman helps a lost and confused Polish immigrant at Vancouver International Airport; RCMP-style.By using tazer, police killed a man – there was no real tentative of communication whatsoever. They just fired him.Sometimes Electricity is a good thing: technology saves life and change destiny; but sometimes – especially when technology is to be put in the wrong hands – it is the worst ever case scenario that takes place. In this matter it’s not even wrong hands, it’s just a matter of stupidity and shame if not total and absurd irresponsibility, cruelty : Lethal means sufficient to cause death. Tazer is dangerous, it is a lethal weapon – same effect as a bullet in the flesh: it kills. It is maybe just made worse by the fact that politics, policers and anyone in charge of this kind of business is not yet ready to acknowledge that tazer are effectively LETHAL weapons.These tazer weapons and the people using them just completely scares me.
New tools with innovative and efficient design doesn’t always mean that there are good people behind it. I feel so sorry for this man who was seeking a better life, and so ashamed of what technology might bring; I can only hope it will remember us that there is no innocent design, never.
update: Wired ran an article about this video 4 days ago where the creator of this video Mike Greenway is reported to have told Canada.com that the video is ‘really more of a statement on police Taser use than anything.’ – I do think that those who get shocked by this video should rather get shocked by the very behaviour of those people supposed to protect and defend humans’ lives, rights and liberties.
