Timmmii and crew changed all the Bush St. signs to read OBAMA St. They got the *entire* street before the cops stopped them!

Aer OBAMA

Daft Punk vs. Adam Freeland – “Aer OBAMA”

The following is a mixed-media stop motion music video and celebration commemorating the election and inauguration of Barack Obama as the forty-fourth president of these United States. Audibly showcasing Adam Freeland’s remix of Daft Punk’s “Aerodynamic” and the imaginative stylings of forward thinking toy artists Dalek, Bill McMullen and Kubrick to name just a few. Independently animated and directed by the progressive minds of the directing team GOLD, the piece is a labor of love that invites everyone to join in or create their own celebration this coming Tuesday January the 20th.

How to automate installs of Sun Java 6 on Ubuntu using cli

I couldn’t figure this out, so Andy had to help me.. Thanks Andy!

Hopefully in the future we can use open-source, gpl’ed java, but until then:

/bin/echo -e 'sun-java6-bin shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1 boolean true\nsun-java6-jre shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1 boolean true' | sudo debconf-set-selections
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get --force-yes -qq install sun-java6-bin

Tracking a Kiva Loan

This is a great video that a Kiva volunteer made to document the path that a $25 microfinance loan made in London took to reach a rice farmer in Cambodia. The $25 loan is paid back in 12 monthly installments of $2.08, and one of the repayments is captured in the video. It’s awesome to see the connection between the people in London who made the loan, the Kiva employees in SF who brokers the loan, the microfinance institution in Cambodia who processes the loan, and the farmer who receives it. Yay Kiva! Our next Amazon check should go towards a microloan!

I stopped by this bakery on Mission and Leese on my way home today.
Got something that looked like angel food cake for 85 cents and it was
yummy with tea. Also got a disc shaped pastry with sesame seeds on top
(they told me it was a quesadilla, but it didn’t look or taste
anything like a quesadilla i’ve had before). I didn’t like that one as
much, but I’m definitely going back to try all the other pastries!
