OK, so I figured out you can resize You Tube videos. There are a bunch of little functions you can use with their videos. This helps with my fuzzy resolution problems I was complaining about earlier. Like I said, it’s pretty convenient and useful, but something about it still rubs me the wrong way… I [...]
Yay! I finally got video & audio working in the davidcool.com website interface! I had this terrible problem for months that I couldn’t solve. Then I revisited it today and boom, fixed it on the first try. When you would click on one of the thumbnails and load a movie, it would work fine. But [...]
I collect all kinds of things I come across on the net and save them in little folders all over my desktop. Pretty soon I’m putting folders into other folders and then I have this little chest of drawers filled with useless junk. It’s a strange compulsion. I guess it’s better than collecting real objects.

This is the kind of stuff I stare at all day: // AMF PHP script import mx.remoting.*; import mx.rpc.*; import mx.utils.Delegate; import mx.remoting.debug.NetDebug; //Change the gateway URL as needed var gatewayUrl:String = “http://davidcool.com/amfphp/gateway.php”; var service:Service; NetDebug.initialize(); service = new Service(gatewayUrl, null, “getInfo”); //Gets the people between age min and age max function getThumb(subcat_ID) { //trace(‘in [...]
Another brilliant Yahoo news article. The US is blowing up another country everyday, people can’t get healthcare here, children all around the would are starving and this is featured content? hummm… It is damn funny though. I keep thinking I’m reading the onion when I see this ssssssshi ssssssstuff.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately. I haven’t had this much time to myself for many years. It’s both good and bad. Without a “regular” job to consume just about every waking moment of your life, your mind starts to wander. You get introspective, and all those things you continually push away in your mind [...]
A buttefly shot at Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh. Black & white channel conversion with sepia toning in photoshop. It’s been a while since my last update. Things have been ok lately. Finished off the last of the TEFL requirements and the deep research and job hunting has started. It’s a bit overwhelming and mind numbing [...]
This is a picture of Nancy and I at TJ’s apartment in Washington DC. It was taken mid-week. We were all working on our lesson plans for the next day of teaching. We look happy, but we were all VERY tired! hahaha… We ended up staying up until like 1-2 am working. The class the [...]
i know it’s been ages since i updated this blog… i’ve been busy. i’m still in philadelphia at the moment. things are going well and i’ve been getting out and about quite a bit. i hope to have some pics up soon from some of the latest adventures, but not at the moment… i logged [...]
ok, so a quick post that illustrates my Philadelphia work space. i think this one looks the most stylish so far somehow. The printer came from nancy’s parents. we went to the mac store to buy them a new imac! yay! my brainwashing worked. anyway, when you bought a new computer you got a brand [...]
