The Chokehold of Calendars

The Chokehold of Calendars

Meetings may be toxic, but calendars are the superfund sites that allow that toxicity to thrive. All calendars suck. And they all suck in the same way. Calendars are a record of interruptions. And quite often they’re a battlefield over who owns whose time.

via weblog.muledesign.com

That's a glorious intro sentence, worth quoting here for posterity.

Researchers Test Space Beer

With space tourism becoming a real possibility in the near future, brewers are trying to figure out how to provide a good beer in space. To this end, a non-profit space research corporation Astronauts4Hire will begin testing an Australian brew created to be enjoyed in microgravity. From the article: "In the past, NASA has also sponsored studies on space beer, and whether or not the popular beverage can be brewed in space. Under current policies, however, alcohol remains forbidden on the International Space Station."

12 fun facts about Lost in Space

  Posted by Kate Rinsema

Irwin Allen, creator of Lost in Space, probably wasn’t expecting the series that only aired from 1965 to 1968 to make television history, yet it remains one never-ending cheese plate of space adventure to this day.

If you guessed the series was based on Disney’s Swiss Family Robinson, you would be correct, but did you know there was also a comic book inspiration (Space Family Robinson) that took off once the series aired and survived to the ‘80‘s? There is little doubt that the execs at CBS were kicking themselves a few years after passing on the original Star Trek in favor of Lost in Space. That dynamic duo of Batman and Robin also influenced the direction of the series once Allen realized their unique brand of humor seemed to appeal to audiences.

Space out with TV.

PDF OCR

icon

PDF OCR is a simple drag-and-drop utility for Mac OS X, that converts your PDFs and images into text documents or searchable PDF files. It uses advanced OCR (optical character recognition) technology to extract the text of the PDF even if that text is contained in an image. This is particularly useful for dealing with PDFs that were created via a Scan-to-PDF function in a scanner or photo copier.
