Merry Christmas

Eric Mesa | December 24, 2007

I wanted to wish a Merry Christmas to my readers, however many (or few) of you there are.
I hope this is a time of happiness and family fun for you. And, if you’re Christian, I hope this can also be a time of reflection for you upon the sacrifices Jesus made for [...]

“Planned” Eric’s Binary World Downtime

Eric Mesa | December 21, 2007

The electric company gave us a letter today stating that they’ll be doing some work on the lines and we may/will lose power on 27 or 28 Dec. Because I’m going to be extremely busy with my family at that time, I may not be able to get the server back up until 1 [...]

MakeHuman makes huge strides

Eric Mesa | December 20, 2007

You’re probably asking yourself two questions. 1) When did Eric get awesome at modeling humans? and 2) What are these bald, naked women doing on this site? In fact, you probably asked yourself those questions in the reverse order. Extra points for the MakeHuman team if you didn’t even realize [...]

Social Web Part 2: Mugshot

Eric Mesa | December 16, 2007

Mugshot is the website that continues to surprise me the more I use it.  At first it was just a website with an unusual purple theme.  Then it was the very frustrating site with the purple theme.  Now it just may be one of the most interesting and underrated sites of the year. 
In case [...]

How Flock has completely changed my browsing habits

Surprises in Flickr Views

Eric Mesa | December 13, 2007

Last time I checked on that picture it had 25 Views. As of this writing it has 230 Views. That’s not a very high number of views, but for the amount of time it’s been up (about 5 months), the subject matter (a plain view of The White House), and lack of groups [...]

Eric Mesa | December 10, 2007

Afterall, if it’s real, why not show it to everyone?  Here’s a great xkcd strip to illustrate:
