December 24, 2011 – 12:21
Most javascript guides recommend the generally standard parseInt and parseFloat methods to convert from a string to a number. Multiplying by 1 works as well, eg 1 * “54″
Skyrim Alchemy
November 14, 2011 – 12:16
Skyrim is the shit. The game is friggin amazing. Crafting alone is a worthwhile pursuit- go mine ore, smelt ore, hunt animals, tan hides, build weapons and armor, study enchantments, and enchant weapons and armor, improve enchanted weapons.

November 8, 2011 – 09:10
I’ve wanted a different theme than most of what jQuery UI provides for some time. I don’t like the overly rounded corners, the glass effects, and egregious whitespace.

Unified Augmented Reality
August 14, 2011 – 23:49
A group I’m active on in Facebook posted a link to a comment on the possibilities of LED contact lenses. Unfortunately, the post’s author barely scratches the surface of what’s possible with the potential applications. Also, the author calls this “Freaky.” Not cool. For a unified approach to augmented reality, I want all the research resources of read more
