...have lots of money:

Gee, does it also have video windows too?

I like solving mysteries in the middle of the night….
Remember good folks, when you go to a site which doesn’t recognize your browser…AND if you have the capability…tell it to identify as another browser.
I was going to add something about electronic taqiyya, then thought better of it. OK, back to bed now.

I guarantee, this post will piss off selrahC, but not for the reason you may suspect. More on that in a moment.
First of all, I’m surprised Ray Bradbury is still kickin’, and he turns 90 years old on the 22nd of this month! He’s had many words to say about how the Government has messed up our post-Apollo adventures. Regarding Президент Оба́ма, Bradbury said:

“He should be announcing that we should go back to the moon. We should never have left there. We should go to the moon and prepare a base to fire a rocket off to Mars and then go to Mars and colonize Mars. Then when we do that, we will live forever.”

Just be careful, Mr. Bradbury, your Martian Chronicles might come to pass if that happens.
Bradbury also thinks the Government is way too big for its britches:

“There is too much government today. We’ve got to remember the government should be by the people, of the people and for the people.”

This will certainly endear him to his el cubo fans. That’s OK, us Tea Partiers welcome you with open arms!
Finally…he apparently doesn’t think too highly of the Kindle:

“I was approached three times during the last year by Internet companies wanting to put my books” (on an electronic reading device). I said to Yahoo, ‘Prick up your ears and go to hell.’”

Perhaps he’d use the Kindle to…kindle? Imagine that. THAT will piss off selrahC!

I have, from time to time, watched “MythBusters” on The Discovery Channel, where the team…busts myths. Imagine my surprise when Adam Savage showed a photo taken with his iPhone on Twitter…which was downloaded and people found out where he lived. His reaction?

“I guess it was a lack of concern because I’m not nearly famous enough to be stalked…and if I am, I want a raise.”

I would certainly hope he isn’t engaged in contract negotiations with Discovery. In any case, HE FORGOT about the geotags. That’s why I always run my photos through Photoshop before I put them on the Web.
Tsk, tsk, tsk….

If you’re an owner of one, and you do stuff with it in the United Arab Emirates and The Magic Kingdom™, you don’t have much time left. This is because they have determined that they operate outside of their zone of control, and blocked usage of these devices, effective October 1.
Sounds to me like they operate out of Islam‘s control. What are they gonna do with all those other smartphone users who do business, surf the Web for pr0n. Also can’t bring those Christian items such as The Holy Bible into their countries…can’t have anything non-Islamic polluting the minds of the subjects.
My Friends, their time is coming.

Shattered Glass Cyclone doesn’t even begin to describe this sight which makes eyes sore, especially at 0233 hours:

Here’s a fun little Flash game to play while you’re putzing around on the Internet:

Time for me to move further into a new realm: true video.
I just purchased a Canon FS200 standard definition flash memory camcorder. It’s something I’ve wanted to get for quite some time. And seeing as I’ve received many kudos from The Blogmocracy for the last couple of documentary shorts, I’m taking the plunge. I’ll leave the still photos up to my wife, and she does a pretty good job with that!
So STAY TUNED! I’ve got a little project in the works….

Pardon me while I clean up my photo directories here…in the meantime, here’s an interesting article which reports that a growing number of Blackberry owners are contemplating dropping them in favor of either the iPhone or Droid, depending on which service they actually have: AT&T for the iPhone or Verizon/TMobile for the Android OS phones.
I finally got up off my a** and started putzing around with actually using my phone’s mobile browser, being driven by our need to keep a sharp eye on our balance. My contract is coming up soon, and what I can learn on my own will determine which system I go with…as long as the Android OS can also sync with The Official System. Preliminary research indicates that it can…and that is a good thing.

In case y’all haven’t seen George Takei’s latest ad:

It’ll be interesting to see what the demographics of those who buy this TV just on account of Takei’s appearance. That said, my favorite commercial which he appears in is this one from E*Trade:

And isn’t that Pamela Anderson? Why yes…yes it is!

Now here’s an amusing web app:

If you live in Europe and are about to purchase Windows 7 (and apparently also for Vista and XP users), you will get to pick the browser you want to install with your operating system…no thanks to the European Union, which has gone further than even the US Government did a decade ago.

Don’t get me wrong…a whole bunch of Microsoft products still suck, but the Government should not be getting into what can and cannot be installed on an OS. Authoritarian groups tend to go for that.

Dang! Blambot is a great source for comic-strip typefaces, both free and pay-based; I downloaded some free ones and here’s the new listing:

I might use some of these in future parodies, so watch for them!

One of the many facets of The Mrs. which makes me love her even more…is her propensity for gadgetry. Witness this digital indoor-outdoor temperature gauge. She happened to bring this along and we set it up a few days ago.
Now, instead of hitting F12 on my keyboard to bring up the same thing, I can simply look at this gauge to see how cold (or hot) it is outside. She eventually wants to get one where we don’t even have to set the time, let the Atomic Clock do it for us. Neat-O!
