Inside Greg’s Head v.1 http://blog.gregmcbride.com Random thoughts from my brain to yours. posterous.com Wed, 14 Mar 2012 05:07:00 -0700 Urban Art http://blog.gregmcbride.com/urban-art http://blog.gregmcbride.com/urban-art

Here's a great collection of urban art pics from around the world. I have no idea where any of these images came from. They were sent to me in a PowerPoint deck. So, I apologize for the lack of photo credits.

Big Hand Though! http://blog.gregmcbride.com/small-kitten-nope-big-hand-though http://blog.gregmcbride.com/small-kitten-nope-big-hand-though

Peebles
The caption on this photo doesn't even make sense. It says that Mr. Peebles is only 6.1 inches high and 19.2 inches long, making him the world's smallest cat. Last time I checked, that seems like a pretty standard size for a cat. In fact, I think that's pretty huge for a kitten! Maybe the caption should address the amazing dimensions of what appears to be the the world's largest hand that's holding this very normal kitten!

I just love stuff like this. These photos within photos offer a fascinating glimpse of what once was contrasted against what now is. You can view the entire collection here.

Shortly after I upgraded to OS X 10.5.6 on my MacBook Pro, I was unable to stay connected to my home 802.11n AirPort Extreme network. After a bit of research, I came up with the following solution. Not sure if all the steps are necessary, but it worked for me. So, if you're having problems, give it a shot! If these steps solved your problem (or not), please let me know in the comments.

1. Turn AirPort off.
2. Repair disk permissions via Disk Utility.
3. Disable Back To My Mac and log out of MobileMe.
4. Install Combo updater (available here).
5. Reset SMC (instructions here).
6. Boot and turn AirPort on.

Hope this helps!

–Greg

This video has been around for a while, but it presents some pretty powerful statistics about the growth of social media. Even if you've seen it before, it's worth taking another look.

This ad is kind of digging to the bottom of the barrel in terms of quality advertising. But, big props to Steve for putting a little creativity into an otherwise stale advertising medium.

I've always loved photos of old, abandoned buildings and recently came across this page with some great shots. It's amazing how a single shot can get your mind wandering about the past. Here are a few samples from the site.

It’s about damn time someone came up with a way to make square eggs. I was getting tired of the cumbersome oval eggs.
