Posting this entry from Safari running on Windows. Just to see if it feels weird.

Online World MapCategory: technology
I saw this today and thought it was amusing. I wonder where we'd lie on the map? Anthropomorphic dragons, maybe?

What's really interesting about this map is that first off, the countries are actually sized proportionally to their membership. But secondly, it's organized by whether they're practical (north) or intellectual (south), and whether they're focused on real life (west) or the web (east).
So we're probably subpixel-sized and floating somewhere in the Bay of Angst just off the coast of LJ. Kinda like these guys :::link:::

Best Artvoice Cover Ever!*

(e:zobar), I know that you're going to talk to the art director and invite the twins to the party tonight. Because I know that, like me, you desperately want to see the two of them earning their cupcakes from (e:lilho).

I want to be the art director's friends' friend. They don't have to substitute me for the lollipop right away, maybe after a few beers and some BBQ.

Yeah that cover is pretty hot looks like the ads in the back should be on the inside cover. Why don't I test the ladies and see if they are all women or not. Are they twins or just a double image of the same girl?

Decent night, explosive dayCategory: life
Last night I saw Shrek III with match.com girl. We wanted to see pirates, but we arrived too late from dinner. She had never had La Nova pit-fired wings before, and one of those metaphysical experiences is just not something that one can rush. Shrek III was funny, though I liked the first one the best.

Today on my way to drop her off to the bus station for her Memorial weekend trip to Rochester (way too early at 5:30 AM), I noticed that an entire section of main street was blocked off, the part not blocked off by Buffalo's decades long beer binge urban planning party. There were fire engines and police cruisers and traffice cones (oh my!) and I was wondering what kind of traffic accident, chemical spill, or terrorist attack was happening as no event would be staged so early in a town that prides itself so much on getting trashed till 4:00AM the night before. But the way people were walking was too orderly to be some tragic disaster. I found out from one of the spectators that someone was blowing up a building downtown, so I decided to become ainnocent bystander spectator myself. I wish I had a better digital camera on my phone that could snap better photos of the building in mid-fall, but this whole event took me totally my surpise. And yes, it was awesome, as I had never seen a building fall in person. The explosions were the loudest part; the building collapsing into itself actually was far quieter than I had imagined.

It's qoo that you got to see it, and that you got pics.
I always find building implosions really sad, tho'. (Maybe I've just watched 'Heathers' too many times.)

Firstly glad things with the girl are going good for ya. I saw Shrek today and thought It was good but I did like the first 2 better. I like how they pick on all the fairy tales and beauty just sleeps for like no reason. Thirdly I'm glad someone on the site got pictures of the Implosion I would have liked to but I didn't. I didn't even go.

Seeing as its like a block from our house, I woke up in terror thinking our house was collapsing.

Actually I shouldn't have said weak. I should have said fine.
It seemed like there was some sort of hooks - the LDAP app could link to the dialing functions and the like. Maybe you just hook in with :::link::: addresses though, which would be weak.
But it did look like nice.
I found the WWDC keynote to be a bit underwhelming this year. I'm a total Apple fanboy, but this stuff is lame-ola.
AJAX on iPhone? Woop-de-doo. If what he says is true - that that's the full version of Safari on the iPhone - it would have been less than a day after release that we'd be doing that anyway. I understand they don't want to give away the SDK, but throw us a bone, not a kibble. A secure, limited Javascript API, like Dashboard widgets, would be pretty awesome. Hell, even J2ME would be ok, and J2ME is awful.
Who cares about Safari for Windows? I'd be ecstatic if they'd gone further and released Cocoa for Windows [I had my suspicions when I saw what Apple Software Update looks like on Windows, but now there's no doubt it exists and is relatively complete.]
You know how sometimes you run an application, and you can totally tell that it's a PC program written by PC people, and they just cranked it through the Qt cross-compile wizard? Safari for Windows is like that, only in reverse. Also, my IBM scroll nub doesn't work with the cute jellybean scroll bars.
