    Confusing effort, preparation and performance with the outcome - Seth Godin Seth’s Blog
    How’d you perform on the sales call? It was great. How do you know? They bought. How did you play? Super. How do you know? We won. Actually, that’s selling your potential short. Even if the chip shot went in the hole, it doesn’t mean you hit the ball properly. It might simply have been a positive variance. Next time, it could easily bounce the other way. In order to improve our performance, we need to model our preparation, our effort and our form against a standard, not base it on the outcome. Because outcomes aren’t always guaranteed by our work. Just because you won doesn’t (...) -- Uncategorized

    Vintage Console Becomes the Calculator it Appears to Be - Dan Maloney hack a day
    What’s sitting on [Bob Alexander]’s desk in the video below did not start out life as the desktop calculator it appears to be. Turning it into a standalone calculator with features the original designers couldn’t imagine turned out to be an interesting project, and a trip down the retrocomputing rabbit hole. A little explanation is in order. Sure, with its Nixie display, calculator keypad, and chunky mid-century design, the Wang 360 desktop console looks like a retro calculator. But it’s actually only a dumb terminal for a much, MUCH bigger box, called the Electronic Package, that would fit (...) -- Retrocomputing, calculator, console, gps, logarithms, nixie, pic32, retrocomputing, RPN, Wang

    NES Gets A Slick Acrylic Casemod - Lewin Day hack a day
    Those alive during the 1990s will remember the clear or “crystal” versions of various home consoles. Made with the usual injection molding processes, they usually came out somewhere closer to a smoky translucency and didn’t reveal much of the insides. [BitHead1000] likes to do things right though, and has busted out an awesome acrylic case mod for his NES. The build starts with the disassembly of the original console, naturally, and the RF shielding is discarded in order to provide an unobstructed view of the internals. The acrylic case is then built up piece by piece, using the original (...) -- Nintendo Hacks, Case mod, case modding, casemod, nes, nintendo

    Hackaday Links: August 25, 2019 - Dan Maloney hack a day
    Doesn’t the Z-axis on 3D-printers seem a little – underused? I mean, all it does is creep up a fraction of a millimeter as the printer works through each slice. It would be nice if it could work with the other two axes and actually do something interesting. Which is exactly what’s happening in the nonplanar 3D-printing methods being explored at the University of Hamburg. Printing proceeds normally up until the end, when some modifications to Slic3r allow smooth toolpaths to fill in the stairsteps and produce a smooth(er) finish. It obviously won’t work for all prints or printers, but it’s (...) -- Hackaday links, 3d printer, 6502, apple, design, diagnosis, fet, hackaday links, repair, slic3r, transistor, zine

    Toymaker Hasbro now owns Death Row Records and Twitter has suggestions - Jack Morse Mashable !
    Ready yourself for some Snoop Dogg Monopoly.  Hasbro, the maker of Mr. Potato Head, Twister, G.I. Joe, and the aforementioned board game designed as a "critique of American greed," is now the proud owner of Death Row Records. Yes, you read that correctly.  So reports Rolling Stone, which details the circuitous route by which the toymaker came to own a record label associated with Dr. Dre and Tupac. Hasbro, it seems, purchased an entertainment company by the name of Entertainment One earlier this week.

    Manhattan-sized horde of floating rocks travels across the ocean - Mark Kaufman Mashable !
    Kaboom. Somewhere beneath the waters of the tropical Pacific Ocean, likely around the island of Tonga, a volcano recently erupted. The proof lies in a sprawling raft of extremely lightweight volcanic rock called pumice, which is so porous that it floats. NASA posted satellite images of the drifting mass on Aug. 23, though the geologic display was first spotted in mid-August.  "Many of the world's volcanoes are shrouded by the waters of the oceans," wrote NASA. "When they erupt, they can discolor the ocean surface with gases and debris. They also can spew masses of lava that are lighter (...) -- Science, Ocean, Geology, Volcanoes

On Sunday at D23 Expo, Disney unveiled new details about Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, the much-hyped Star Wars resort and experience coming to Disney World in Florida.  In essence, it's a Star Wars hotel on steroids. Guests sign up for a two-day, two-night itinerary aboard the Halcyon, a "glamour starliner" with views of space out of every window — including those in each room.

But creators Brit Marling (who also starred) and Zal Batmanglij blended an assortment of sci-fi and supernatural elements together into a stew that practically demanded further conversation. For two seasons, Marling and Batmanglij weaved a mystery that was as enthralling as it was cryptic.

    When I first stumbled upon the trailer for Brittany Runs A Marathon, I was worried. A narrative that centers around a woman in her pursuit of weight loss via an enormous physical feat, i.e. a marathon, has the potential to be extremely tone deaf and surface level if not executed with the right amount of sensitivity and care. The film is funny, and Jillian Bell soars, but my suspicions were unfortunately somewhat correct. The jarring part of the story is that it begins with Brittany going on an ill-advised trip to the doctor; she's hoping to be prescribed Adderall in a thinly veiled (...) -- Marathon, Jillian Bell, Eating Disorder, Entertainment, Health

As we explain in the latest episode of the Original Content podcast, the film feels like it’s made in the “Argo” mold, fashioning a political thriller out of a too-crazy-for-fiction events.
