A short time lapse video I shot from the temporary Polldaddy HQ in Reykjavik, Iceland. I shot it with my Android phone over the course of about an hour. My battery hit 9% remaining charge by the end of it! I’ve never seen the weather change so fast or so often as it does here in Reykjavik.
Do not adjust your volume, there is no sound!
Krista posted a timelapse video from the same window!
Creating a screenshot in Windows is normally simple. Press Print Screen, fire up paint and paste it in. However what do you do when you have a laptop keyboard without a PRT SCN button?
It’s rather simple actually, thanks macrumors people.
To create a screenshot on a Macbook Pro laptop press either fn+shift+F11 or fn+ALT+F11. The latter one grabs a single window. Fire up paint and CTRL-v those pixels in!
Worth reading: Climate Change and the End of Australia and then read this “rebuttal” on The American Spectator.

I like listening to podcasts when I’m out walking. Gamers With Jobs is a particularly good gaming podcast that I found via the Brainy Gamer blog. There’s also The Gamer’s Craic which hasn’t been updated in over half a year but remains one of the best gaming podcasts ever (but I may be biased).
I’ve already mentioned Futureshock and I’m a big fan of Science Friday. Any other podcasts I should listen out for?
Swimming in it is quite the experience!
With this app you can install Ubuntu on your Android phone. It has to be rooted obviously and it’s definitely not this.
It looks like this installs Ubuntu in the same way as in the video above. It’s an app that runs in the background and you use a VNC client to connect to it. You could of course use VNC on a local desktop machine to connect to it too making it more useful but I think this is more a curiosity for those who like to tinker with their phones …
Pity he couldn’t get WordPress running on that Ubuntu install. That would have been fun to see!
If you ever find yourself in Reykjavik make sure you book a table in Grillmarkaðinn. Every single bite was a taste explosion. So delicious!
The ice cream dessert was actually a disappointment after the previous tasty dishes. As Lenny says, food in Iceland is damn good.
Testing out AutOptimize here. It minifies html and css and then Super Cache caches the optimized code. Hopefully won’t be any rendering surprises.
Oh, hi from Iceland!
Amazed that the place is empty!
That final line of this scene.. Couldn’t stop laughing.
(Odd, the video looks squashed. It’s not WordPress doing it as the embed code from Youtube does the same. Odd.)
