Thoughts on Flash
Thursday, April 29th, 2010Second, there’s the “full web”.
Adobe has repeatedly said that Apple mobile devices cannot access “the full web” because 75% of video on the web is in Flash. What they don’t say is that almost all this video is also available in a more modern format, H.264, and viewable on iPhones, iPods and iPads. YouTube, with an estimated 40% of the web’s video, shines in an app bundled on all Apple mobile devices, with the iPad offering perhaps the best YouTube discovery and viewing experience ever. Add to this video from Vimeo, Netflix, Facebook, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, ESPN, NPR, Time, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Sports Illustrated, People, National Geographic, and many, many others. iPhone, iPod and iPad users aren’t missing much video.

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010
Police in Lincoln, Nebraska say that the man entered Kabredlo’s Convenience Store on Saturday with a knife and a head wrapped in toilet paper, and demanded money.
The man – described as a white male in aged 25 to 33, about 6 foot 2 inches, with toilet paper all over his face – took an unspecified amount of money from the store’s safe, before fleeing on foot.
A Lincoln police sniffer dog was dispatched to try and track down the suspect – but discovered only a trail of sheets of toilet paper, which eventually ran out.
The suspect is still at large.
The wrapping of the head in toilet paper is the latest in a long line of innovative disguises adopted by robbers, which have previously included wearing an empty beer box on your head, dressing up as a tree, colouring your face in with permanent marker and, memorably, the Duct Tape Bandit, who wrapped his head up in duct tape.

Just as those Civic Center tree hats (aka “The Upper Crust”) are nearing the end of their life, a bigger art project’s planned for the plaza in front of City Hall. Behold: a 15-ton, three-headed, six-armed Buddha statue, called, “Three-Headed, Six-Armed Buddha.” We’re fans of literalism too. The work was created by Chinese artist Zhang Huan, who appears to specialize in ginormous Buddha body parts. There’s no guarantees on our benevolent many-limbed nirvana figure reaching the not too hallow grounds of the Civic Center, though — the SF Arts Commission has to raise $100K to ship the thing from Shanghai, and the parking garage roof will also have to be strong enough to withhold all that wonder. Time will tell if the Buddha’s many arms shall caress our down and out friends in the plaza.
