DNA, Molecules, and Religion

radix_back_to_basics.jpg

Today I did was the graphic above, as a cover for the Radix Magazine in Montreal. It’s run by McGill Chaplaincy. The samples are myoglobin and some molecule I-don’t know-what-it-is. The symbols are from a T-Shirt Company. The theme was back-to-basics, where people from various religions describe the basics of their faith. I hope the graphic doesn’t suck or have any weird errors. Sometimes I can’t tell.

Another thing I did was work on on a prototype website for my friends in The Lovely Feathers. I’m trying to hack a hack of WordPress into the website they want. There’s a really excellent email-to-blog plugin for WordPress that I’ve been experimenting with. The most popular application on the Net is email, like, everybody knows how to email. I think that web-publishing should be that easy.

With this script by John Blade you can just set up an email for your website and send mail to the website. (If you’re registered) the website will read the email and post it in the category you tell it too. It will also post any attachments you send. I think it’s really cool and I’d like to develop more sites where the email/web connection is seamless.

One final thing I did was drive around Colombo traffic with Amma. We saw some woman with no teeth walking around gumming her mouth like an old lady. Amma said one of her relatively well-off Museus classmates ended up like that after her husband left her and she got into drugs. Then we went to Odel’s and looked at shoes.

Sarath Fonseka And The Mahavamsa

The Mahavamsa (a history of Sri Lanka) is full of conflicts between generals and kings. Usually, the more bloodthirsty and unscrupulous would win. Our current (elected) ruler Mahinda Rajapaksa has had his own general conflicts, namely with one Sarath Fonseka. In the old days Fonseka would have staged a coup, as in literally try to cut of Mahinda’s head, and Mahinda would – if that failed – tie him to four elephants and split his parts asunder. Can’t do that shit anymore. Instead Fonseka ran for office and lost and Mahinda tossed him in jail.

Why Does India Suck At The Olympics?

Today on the morning show we talked about the Olympics, namely China’s emerging dominance. For me the bigger question is India. Why does India suck so much? In 2008 the US won 110 medals, China won 100 and India won… 3. India has over a billion people, some economic clout and is by all counts an emerging superpower, but they suck at the Olympics. Why?

New New Kottu

Janith has updated Kottu with rims and shit. Seriously, it looks pretty good. You could say the desktop look is cosmetic, but check out the mobile. Kottu now looks like an app with settings and menus and such. The biggest problem with K2 is me, ie, it now takes me up to a month to respond to emails. OMG I’m scared of my email. But Janith’s done this code and design update all by himself and it looks pretty good. Check it out. There was one bug with the previous page link. Lettuce know if there’s any more.

Miss Travel. Alternately, Mistravel

This is highly dubious. Miss Travel is a travel/social networking site that connects ‘Generous’ and ‘Attractive’ travelers. To, like, travel together, I guess. It all seems a bit like arranged prostitution and trafficking. This is part of a broader online trend to connect rich men to younger, attractive women. Sites like seekingarrangement.com connects women to ‘sugar daddies’ already. I guess Miss Travel is just taking that trend international. Wait, I checked, it’s the same guy doing both.
