Voyeur Heaven: finding interesting video, sound and image files in unprotected directories

By Emile • Aug 30th, 2005 • Category: Design, General, WWW, Wordpress

NOTE: I found this text on another Wordpress blog entitled GoogleTutor.com - it’s definitely worth checking out and bookmarking. I have reprinted the article below, just in case their site goes down as it really is wonderfully useful.
We’ve all got a little voyeurism in us. That’s why the recent article, Clearing Google Search History […]

The newspaper number-game craze: can anyone explain it to me or point to any good links?

Back in business

By Emile • Aug 28th, 2005 • Category: Blogging, Design, FileMaker, General

It took long enough but I’m finally back from an exploration of the beaches and marshes of Hilton Head, South Carolina. Yes, when the beach is 40 ft from your back porch, life is a bitch…
As for other updates, I haven’t forgotten about the promises for the FileMaker search technique a la Spotlight. […]



On hold …

By Emile • Aug 20th, 2005 • Category: Entertainment, General

I’ll be away from the Labs for the next week or so, expect posting to come to a crawl. Hopefully, I’ll be able to sneak away a post from my cell phone!
Cheers!

This is just a random non-important post

By Emile • Aug 11th, 2005 • Category: FileMaker, General

Being done from the Apple Executive Center in NYC. Doesn’t that make me important? Actually, I’m in an underground bunker just testing the connection speed.
Update
Ok, so I’m not REALLY in an underground bunker. But I am in the home offices of Apple in NYC. The reason and occasion? The […]



Google’s SMS Service

By Emile • Aug 8th, 2005 • Category: Design, General

is unparalled. Basically, you send a query of some kind as a standard text message to the Google #46645 (GOOGL on most phones) and Google sends you back the info you’re looking for at no additional cost, whether it be local business listings, driving directions, movie showtimes, weather conditions, stock quotes or more.

Finally, the new SWL logo

By Emile • Aug 6th, 2005 • Category: Design, General

It’s been a long time coming for no other reason than I couldn’t create something I was satisfied with. Kind of like writers block, but for designers - I’ve genuinely struggled with creating and rendering a vision for the Secret Weapon Labs logo. I went through the same process I go through with […]



Backstroke Of The West

By Emile • Aug 5th, 2005 • Category: Entertainment, General, WWW

This may be one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen on the internet. I take no credit other than passing on a link to a documentation of a seemingly bizarre translation and subtitle job done by movie pirates on this last installment of Star Wars. We all know Anakin turned because of […]



Those Pesky Ninja’s!

Those Pesky Ninja’s!
I’ve made a mental note that should I ever really need to ask for something, it should be done with as much creativity as this gentleman.
I would definitely give him money.
