Disqus - making blog comments social
// Written on Apr 22, 2008 // webI came across a service called Disqus today thanks to the blog over at Readburner… and I’m rather glad I did!
Disqus effectively creates a “forum” for your blog, allowing for threaded commenting and a community to grow around the comments themselves.

I’ve added it to my blog as you can see - however as a consequence the existing comments are masked - the only drawback I’ve noticed so far. Disqus are looking at a comment import system - its listed within the settings for the plugin, but its not enabled just yet.
Anyway I’d urge anyone who blogs on a regular basis to check out Disqus

The Real Iron Man Suit!
// Written on Apr 11, 2008 // movies, techIron Man hits our shores in just under a month’s time… and while the masses gear up for it, there is currently a real life version already developing in Utah… its called the XOS Exoskeleton.

My mate Dave advised me about this from Popular Science… and holy crap it looks awesome!
Here’s a segment of the article on Popular Science:
He could easily knock a nearby coder to the floor, or fling one over a desk—but even more impressive, he could do it all day. To show off his superhuman endurance, he walks over to a weight rack and yanks down a bar loaded with 200 pounds. Then he does it again. And again. He stops somewhere around 50, but he’s been known to rip through 500 reps in a row. Even then, he quits out of boredom, not fatigue.

Uwe Boll is a genius… apparently
// Written on Apr 09, 2008 // moviesAfter the post I put up two days ago about the Stop Dr. Uwe Boll petition, which at the time of writing, is currently at 134374. :)
Anyway Dr. Boll saw fit to post a video response to the petition on Youtube… and refer to himself as a fucking moron “genius” - here it is in all its glory:
Ok now you’ve watched that… please feel free to go back to the Stop Dr. Uwe Boll petition and sign it again!
Please! :D
