Having an MSN conversation with a good friend this afternoon he said that masticate is the new word of 2007. To me this word is sooo 2004 due to an old friend. I pointed out that pwnage is the word of 2007, he said it totally 2006. So now I have a call out;

What is the new word of 2007?

What was the word of 2006?

Comment it.

This afternoon I had to take my father to the airport. I made a few interesting observations that still have my wondering. First off there was a dude carrying a level around with his luggage, what the hell would he need that for? The next thing was the display case of items that you can’t take on the plane with you. Why the hell would someone try to carry on a chainsaw? Or how about an oil filter? Makes me wonder.

The end of blogging as we know it.

No more high speed chases. damnit.

Hidden says: they will never beat ie
William says: explain please
Hidden says: can you get 10 spywares when browsing only 1 page with firefox or opera?
Hidden says: no.
William says: so you feel its positive to get spyware with IE?
Hidden says: totally, if i wouldn’t have spywares and viruses, my computer would work fine
William says: so use firefox or opera and your computer will run better
Hidden says: no!
William says: you like having spyware?
Hidden says: if i don’t have spyware, my computer works fine
William says: but you get spyware through ie, so why use it?
Hidden says: because i don’t want my computer to work fine
William says: why not?
Hidden says: because it runs windows
William says: it will run fine if you use opera or firefox, i do it, thousands of users that enjoy my firefox guide use it so why not you?
Hidden says: because i don’t want it to run fine on windows
Hidden says: it’s a treat to windows
William says: i dont understand

Kyle MacDonald has finally gotten a house. On his blog he said he was going to trade one red paperclip to people and eventually end up with a house. Well today he has finally done it in trading one movie roll for a house in Canada. Simply amazing what the internet can do.

On February 26, 2004, we had a snowstorm here in Raleigh, and all the news channels posted the businesses and schools that would be closed the next day. One of these fine news organizations, Time Warner Cable’s News 14 Carolina, chose the most convenient but least secure method to allow businesses to report closings: the Internet. Well, it wasn’t long before members of The Wolf Web, an NCSU message board, exposed this flaw. They went crazy, as you’re about to see. The best part of the whole thing was once a closing was accepted, it could be edited on the Internet and would go straight to TV without having to be reviewed again, so a fake closing that seemed plausible the first time it was shown could be outrageous the next time.

Here is the original forum thread.

Local lunatic David Thompson complains to Charlotte, NC city council during a community access forum, which is conveniently captured on tape and broadcast live on the local community access channel. There aren’t enough tags to cover his rant against ice in the arena, rogue helicopter pilots, and “terrorist pussies”.

Watch the video here. This guy has issues.

Well damnit I missed this. Ken Jennings the Jeopardy guy that won 74 games in a row, finally looking on his 75th game. He is selling a giant foam head that is the size of a riding lawn mower. I wished I would have seen this sooner. Check the auction here.

MySpace is now known as MyFake. Although nothing has changed, I’ve noticed it’s the degree in which it is happening. A few months back I wrote about people being fake to inflate their friends list. For an example recap; I went to high school with them, never talked and they try to be cool and friendly online to get their friend list count up. Sorry I don’t play that game.

Recently every time I login to MySpace to see what’s up, probably every 2-3 days if that, I get these people wanting to be my friends. I look at the profile and it’s a damn porn site! They must have put a redirect on their profile to go to their site. Then a couple others didn’t even have a picture, just a quick about blurb that consists of; Hi come chat with me! My AIM is this, MSN is this..and I have a webcam. Hope you like to have fun! –WooHoo good for you, skank. Then I hit the mighty Deny button on the friends request page. Seriously what is the world coming to? They need to do something about this; what about the little 15 year old kid that gets that kind of stuff. Especially sense MySpace is owned by News Corp that has to be a great image for the company. I can see it now “Porn for Minors!” Sponsored by News Corp.

There is hope though MySpace putting restrictions for younger members. The first restriction is on the ads that will be displayed. They are going to stop displaying ads for online dating sites on profiles under the age of 18. So what they are really saying is that they have been doing this the whole time. Talk about a great way to make money. Kid clicks because the banner says that he can get laid tonight. He gets to the site; the site says that he has to be 18 to join. He closes the window. MySpace makes money on the click. Awesome Idea. Till they get sued. The useful restrictions include not allowing people to send messages from a 14-15 year olds to 18 year olds. This is great, but could also back fire, what about brothers and sisters that want to message each other? They are also adding the ability to have private profiles that won’t display the friends list now, unlike before when it only blocked the information and the profiles pictures. Read the whole story here.

Might I also mention that MySpace is getting sued because a young girl got assaulted! They are suing because MySpace failed to protect minors. Who made the profile? Who talked to the guy? Who was attracted to him? Who decided to meet? The answer to all those is the girls. I think its time for the parents to step up and watch what their kids do online. Read it here.

MySpace Music is actually something cool. One of the few features on MySpace I actually use. A friend of mine in Indiana has a band so it makes it easy for me to keep up on his band, listen to new tracks they have uploaded, and keep track of their shows. Well even bands are becoming fake, some kids created a fake band, songs for download, and within four weeks got an offer for a show. Why might you ask? To prove how fake the site really is. They rock. Read the whole story here.

What all this will come to? How will MySpace die? Will it be shutdown like Napster, or just die a slow painful death? Only time will tell or will it become the Nth Wonder of the World?

DeathStar Firepower - Can the deathstar really destroy a planet?

Guide to Airline Seating - Okay this is nifty, no geeky and very much so. But seriously who the hell has the time to come up with such a guide. I was able to find very airplane that I have ever been on, quite a few mind you, and I have to say I was impressed to say the least. Then this thought comes to my mind, who the hell actually looks at this page before buying a ticket?! Most of this is common sense. Amazing.

Cool Cars -

Flying with no ID - It is quite impressive that someone though to do this. What can a person do anymore without an ID card? Not much, I went to Wal-Mart a few weeks back with a friend and he bought an XBOX360 and some games, came to $450 dollars or something along those lines. He paid with his credit card and went on his way. So a few days later I go to buy a case of Mt. Dew and a pack of gum. The bitch at the checkout stand when I swipe me credit card through asks for my credit card, and ID card. And stands there for a good 10 seconds looking at every detail to make sure it’s me. Serious what the hell?!

What is Web 2.0? In reading this article, they mention MySpace as a Web 2.0 site, but if you search around Digg most “Web 2.0″ sites are AJAX b a s e d monsters. So what is “Web 2.0″ exactly? Is it social networking, XHTML, AJAX, or just a fancy name? Or my personal opinion, a way to make people click on the link called “My 2.0 Site!”

I want one! I found out about this totally awesome site (From this Wired Article), United Nuclear, they sell all kinds of cool scientific stuff. This is what they say about Supermagnets (Scroll Down on That Page to Supermagnets).

If you really need unbelievably powerful magnets, here they are. Uses include magnetic steering of nuclear particles in accelerators, levitation devices, magnetic beam amplifiers, scrap iron separators, etc. Beware - you must think ahead when moving these magnets. If carrying one into another room, carefully plan the route you will be taking. Computers & monitors will be affected in an entire room. Loose metallic objects and other magnets may become airborne and fly considerable distances - and at great speed - to attach themselves to this magnet. If you get caught in between the two, you can get injured. Two of these magnets close together can create an almost unbelievable magnetic field that can be very dangerous. Of all the unique items we offer for sale, we consider these items the most dangerous of all. Our normal packing & shipping personnel refuse to package these magnets - our engineers have to do it. This is no joke and we cannot stress it strongly enough - that you must be extremely careful - and know what you’re doing with these magnets. Take Note: Two Super magnets can very easily get out of control and break fingers and even your arm if opposing poles fly at each other. If working with multiple Supermagnets, always handle one magnet at a time, secure it, then proceed to the next magnet.
