The previous two screencasts demonstrated using Opentransact for simple web payments without using OAuth. Now we see how Opentransact web payments can be made with OAuth. Watch the original larger screencast to make reading the typing easier on the eyes.

Dark Side of the Rainbow

Thu, 06 Dec 2007 23:00:00 +0100

Last night, I joined a couple of friends at the Alamo Drafthouse downtown for a midnight showing of the Dark Side of the Rainbow. Since I’ve been reading a book that starts each chapter with a quote from the Wonderful Wizard of Oz and references David Parker’s The Rise and Fall of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, there were more than a few sublime moments.

The members of Pink Floyd deny that they intentionally synchronized Dark Side of the Moon to the movie. Anyone who has read excellent books like How We Know What Isn’t So or Fooled by Randomness are well acquainted with the phenomenon of seeing patterns where none exist by discarding data that doesn’t fit. So, if it’s true that last night was a Type I error, consider Dark Side of the Rainbow the biggest “rhymes with blind duck” in history.

Ithaca Hours on NPR

This morning, a few friends brought to my attention the NPR story on Ithaca Hours. There seems to be an upswing in media coverage. Amy also notes the NPR story and that she paid for her yoga class in time dollars. I wonder if I’ll ever be able to use the Austin Time exchange for cooperatively-owned beer. I think an hour of work is worth a beer or two. I didn’t realize so many people listen to NPR in the morning.
