chatroulette.com part 3

· · 🌡️ 46°F

I met the coolest girl online and in the middle of the conversation the system died. It was tragic but the video went on so we wrote in old fashion text for a bit back and forth on paper. It was so primitive and fun.

We had some stuff in common. It made me believe the technology did have some fun potential, plus I got to see the awesomest snow globe. At the nd I put up the link to my blog, I hope she finds it.

Two Guns

· · 🌡️ 45°F

Still stuck on chatroulette.com

This guys showed me two of his guns and sat with his rifle the whole time. I pretended I was not american.

Normally I go out on fridays. This is ridiculous.

Chat Roullette

· · 🌡️ 46°F

Here is a good way to waste your life away . Its a chat program that randomly connects you with someone on webcam from around the world. At any point you can hit next. There is no friending, there seems to be no rules.

Really its crazy. I met some cool people from all around the world. Then I met a bunch of middle school aged dudes from america who thought I was osama, the one from the world trade center fiasco.

It is a perfect example of where flash is awesome and the apple iphone internet sucks.

An, Ban, Gan list-style-type

· · 🌡️ 33°F

I was working with CSS for HTML lists today and decided to look over the specs for list-style-type options. I was fully aware of image, disc, squae, circle, alpha, latin, and greek but what surprised me was the inclusion of georgian and armenian numbering options . How did they make it into the basic CSS spec for list types? It seems like such a small isolated part of the world.

Armenia Numerals

Georgian numerals don't even have a wikipedia page.


Software patents suck

· · 🌡️ 26°F

Can you believe this? I hope the facebook people die. If the U.S. goes further in this direction than I am leaving.

Facebook received a patent for:

"dynamically providing a news feed about a user of a social network." In the most basic terms, this means Facebook has patented technology that delivers the stuff filling up your newsfeed like shared



Think how ridiculous this is. Its one thing when you do something unique but "dynamically providing a news feed about a user of a social network." is something that was going on way before facebook.

Madonna's veins

· · 🌡️ 3°F

I found this pic here, it is so freakin huge, it takes a while to load: To give her credit, I don't think the pics have been airbrushed like model pics normally are.

That being said: I know the background is distracting, but check out the veins on her arms /hands. Why bother with the gloves once you can see right through them. Being someone with big arm veins, I can sympathize but It really gives away her plastic surgery "secret." - so why bother. She could just grow old at this point. Surely there is some kind of collagen filler for something like that. If not, I wonder if when she stops dancing, she will have her arms removed or replaced so that she can still look good in photos.

Here are links to the rest of the huge pics:









Why is she bleeding here?


Gabe Mayer of Buffalo

Hey Gabe Mayer,
You don't know me and I don't have contact info for you but I bought the house you used to live in on Linwood and now someone is looking for you. I figure maybe you will google yourself sometime and see this.

The person sent the following message:

Please call 716-397-4265 when you can. Trying to find Gabe Mayer. He designed a website for my company but can't get through to him. Any info would be great



Maybe this will help you two find each other.

Verizon Fios vs Time Warner

· · 🌡️ 29°F

Unfortunately I have both time warner cable and verizon FIOS. One for home and one for the server. I have been considering consolidating but I love the upload speed of FIOS and its so hard to give it up. As for the download speed the cable modem is about the same.

Check out the speakeasy stats. Timewarner is actually faster for me in download.

European News That Suprised Me

· · 🌡️ 26°F

I saw in the news today that China just edged out Germany as the world's top exporter I seriously had no idea that Germany performed so well in the world market. How can they with the high standard of living, social welfare, baggage from WWI and WWII along with the lack of natural resources. You would think they would have lost all their productive competitiveness as America did.

According to wikipedia:

Germany is the world's top exporter with $1,498 trillion exported in 2008 (Eurozone countries are included) and generates a trade surplus of 165 billion.



As a side note, who knew the prime minister of the Ukraine was so hot. She wears her hair like this a lot. Here is her wikipedia page
