Now, here you go – the original inspiration for LOLCATS – circa 1915. …or is it? I don’t have time to look but I’ll post it because it puts the LOLs in context.
Randoms From a Not-so-Random
Oh, and if anyone was wondering Justin Durand is up to his old tricks. It looks like he checks his MySpace often as well. I can’t believe how much the songs remind me of hanging out after Drama Club =) It’s all great stuff, lots of great music and art – so give it a listen. The tracks work, but the rest of the site seems to be broke.
Phone Dead
Phone’s dead. Motorola RAZR 1.0 – well, maybe 2.0 since it was exclusive with Cingular for the first year. The battery was getting low all the time, phone was barely lasting through the day, then it lasted 2 hours. Last night it wouldn’t charge, wouldn’t turn on – the lights blink on then turn off again. My old Sony Ericson is charging at home now. The screen is obscured by scratches and the plastic over the screen is partially broken away… but it’ll work. (I think.) I didn’t really want to give up the Sony, it does much better word…
Eggs and Making Light of a House
I haven’t been up to too much, just hangin out, workin, bought a house, and makin eggs.(check out the other sets, my pumpkin from Holloween is in there)
Zodiac Movie
Check out the Crime Scenes – Apparently a new movie about a series of murders in 1989. I like the idea of a modern movie taking place in a realistic time period. One that I can actually watch and recognize the time period while getting all nostalgic. I’m posting it because it’s a superbly done flash site, and a good example of what can be done with modern web authoring.
Caption the Groundhog
Well in honor of the groundhog not seeing his shadow (14th time since 1883) – lets make fun of him![ Caption the Groundhog! ]
Can’t Deny That Marketing Campaign Got Some Exposure
It worked. You couldn’t ask for a better viral marketing campaign.I’ll give you a hint, bottom left:[(zoom)]
Cultural Differences?
I just read this article about Temporary Enjoyment Mariages making a come back in Iraq.Apparently this sort of thing was banned back when Sadam was in power. It’s esentially prostitution. $4 up front and all of their monthly expenses until the “marriage” is over. It is certainly an interesting read. Then there was this other story about a guy who registered for school as a 12 year old. I kept scanning the article and coulnd’t see anywhere that said how tall this guy was. If he was a midget I could see it… but apparently he shaved his body hair…
HD Crash
I may be jumping the gun, but there are many many files left to scan so I’ve got to do something. One of my SATA HDs crashed, my first 80Gig Western Digital. It appears the HD is technically OK because S.M.A.R.T. wasn’t triggered but I can’t get anything off it. Normally I just say “oh well” and do without, but this time I really needed to make sure I got all the data off it. My “My Documents” folder happened to be on this particular drive, so there are various cracks, save game files, configuration files, and other bits that…
Jeff Goldblum is Watching You Poop
Here’s an oldie:Jeff Goldblum is Watching You Poop. I was sad becausejeffgoldblumiswatchingyoupoop.comhas shut down, or stopped paying their bill, or soemthing. I figured I could at least restore it via it’s own subdirectory.The page isn’t there yet, but the image is. The idea is to print out as many as you can, bring a roll of masking tape, and put them inside every stall you see. Many people can then feel the pang of self-deficating humor.

Computer Upgrade Madness!!!
I went to the computer show yesterday. First time I’ve been able to catch one when it’s at the ubiquitous Basketball Hall of Fame. It was the first time I’d been in there… ever, pre-construction or otherwise. I can’t believe how big a sphere can be. It’s amazing, wonderful, and so much to do… for basketball people. =]I was only interested in the architecture and the computer show held within. I bought a new case, as I was creating almost another new computer – black with blue bubbles up the side which cast a nice blue glow. It has a…

>Here is a link to a cool thing. [02:40am] Is Richard Prior dead? [Update 8/8/2013] I went looking for this little utility. It still works in Windows 8! That’s some solid coding right there, and it’s only written in VB6.
