Beyond pringles: 802.11 antenna from a floppy disk
real gumby writes "Shades of E.E. "Doc" Smith! Thomas Gee has made an 802.11 antenna from an old floppy disk and a paper clip. He credits this site for the inspiration (featuring an antenna from an old ice cream spoon). As MacPlus comments: "It's stylish, effective, and doesn't detract from that `everything computing' ambience in your home."" Warning: French. Update: 06/07 18:27 GMT by T : (Not Fremch ;))
Tutorial: create the os x 'aqua' look in photoshop
Sarah Green writes "I Heart New York: X Icons, offers a handy tutorial on how to use Photoshop to create that Aqua look that appeals to so many Macintosh OS X users. They've also got a bunch of free Pop-Culture icons for download: Andy Warhol, Bewitched, Gumby, Tintin, Radiohead etc. Worth a look."
Jon Caudill writes "It seems that the creator of Gumby and Pokey found out what the legal department was up to, and put an end to the nonsense. The legal dept. in full CYA mode claimed that they didn't know it was a kid. See the story @ this site" Very cool. It's nice to seem companies put decency before egos. Now maybe MCI should take cues from them and drop this whole mess with Netstat.
Several people wrote in about this, so I'm going to say a few words. Pokey.org was given to a 12 year old kid as a birthday present from his father 6 mos ago. Now Prema, owners of Gumby and Pokey are trying to shut it down. I'm kinda undecided on this- can a company trademark a word, and then be entitled to it in .org as well as .com form? The site has nothing to do with Gumby, it's just a kids web page. Opinions? I'd like to help this kid somehow, anyone have an idea how? Perhaps we can find an email address so we can contact Prema and tell them that they are acting like mean jerks and not like a company that owns something like Gumby should? Maybe I'm blowing this out of proportions...
