Jason Griffey

Moblogging, photobloging from Comic-Con in San Diego. Some interesting live photoblogging and narrative updates from folks attending the Comic-Con in San Diego this week. I am not there, but wish I was. Here's one, by way of Warren Ellis; here is a collective blog project created by the guys at textamerica (empty now, they just built it yesterday). Both of the above are also offered in a zesty RSS flavor for easy syndication. The San Diego Union-Tribune is blogging now, and there are some Comic-Con related entries on their Sci-fi/comics blog “Disembodied Brains.” Wil Wheaton says he'll be audio blogging from the convention. Got more live-blogging links? Post them here: Discuss [Boing Boing Blog]

I have no idea how to describe this, so I'm only going to say this:

Puppets. Bullet Time. Ping Pong.

You just have to see it to believe it.(~3meg Windows Media). For maximum effect, watch it without sound the first time (the crowd noise is distracting).

For now it just forwards, but ibiblio is in the process of virutal hosting, so….I decided that if I was moving into a professional mode and looking for jobs and such, anonymity wasn't what I was going for. I also registered cryptonom.net for future use.

Go, Go NC legislature! NC just became the first state to get a law to the governor concerning the right to refill inkjet cartridges. Sounds wierd, I know, but it's one of the stranger pieces of fallout from the DMCA.

<mr.burns>Eeeeeeexcellent, Smithers</mr.burns>

finally have all my content moved to Ibiblio. Next up….my own domain. BUT…I need suggestions. www.griffey.com is out, since it's the baseball players site. Could do www.jasongriffey.org or .net….

So: suggestions?

As pointed out by Eric, Googlism is quite funny at times. Imagine my surprise when I entered my name and got exactly one result:

jason griffey is copyright the

Imagine my disappointment! I don't know who I am copyrighted by….so sad.

On the other hand, google associating my name with copyright in some way is quite interesting.

NOTE TO READERS: If you're not interested in XML, XSL, RSS, HTML, CSS or other wacked web acronyms, read no further. Normal English language post later today.

Yep, I'm sure….I'm actually using a javascript on someone elses server. The code looks like:

<script type=”text/javascript”  language=”JavaScript1.2″
src=”http://corky.net/dotan/programming/feed/feed.php?out=js&url=http://www.unc.edu/~griffey/blog/rss.xml“>
</script>

So the javascript on HIS server is redirecting the HTML to my site. This is why I'm not sure I can apply an XSL sheet to the XML of my RSS….it's getting HTML'd on HIS server.

Or am I just crazy?

After much playing, finally figured out how to include my RSS feed in my homepage. Didn't do it elegantly, and I still need to figure out how to apply some Style to it…anyone have any idea how to link an XSL to the RSS? Currently, I'm using Javascript to convert the XML into HTML, but the Javascript is hosted on another site (wasn't sure if ISIS would be happy with the Javascript locally)….so I doubt there is a good way to do it. BUT, if I can host the Javascript locally, I should be able to write an XSL, include that in the Javascript call, then have it output the HTML all pretty like.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
