There’s this ruined castle on an island just north of Cold Spring that I always wanted to get out and photograph, but never got the chance. However, I found an excellent write-up of what it is (Bannerman’s Island Arsenal), along with some wonderful photos by Shaun O’Boyle (buy here). Definitely worth a read and a look, and possibly a visit if you’re in the area.
Wow. All 120 colors of Crayola crayons, with hex codes. Awesome.
Ah, finally. After years suffering with Lucida Console or that nasty raster font, there’s a way to switch to a decent monospaced font, Consolas, in the Windows cmd.exe windows.
Portishead is finally coming out with a new album, Third. Last.fm has the full album available for a test listen, and you can pre-order it over on Amazon. So far, I really like it, but I think I’m going to wait to see if it becomes available through the MP3 store before diving in.

Thanks to Chet for finding this awesome hack for the Rancilio Silvia. Mandy and I depend on ours nearly every morning to wake us up, and though I’ve hacked a PID into mine, I don’t think I’ll be going this far. Still, it’s pretty freaking awesome.
