Freaky cool or just freaky? 04/05/2005 01:22 AM

Google Maps now does satellite images which is pretty cool (zoom all the way in), and what everyone predicted they would do with the Keyhole software company they bought. The part that freaks me out is finding my own house with my own car in the driveway, taken last fall (by the looks of construction in the neighborhood). I guess it's time for all of us to have our Streisand moment and wonder when satellite imagery has gotten too good. [via]

Freaky Friday


Freaky Friday 03/20/2003 05:31 PM
For some reason, MT isn't allowing me to update my last post, so if you've got a mirror for my video, please add it via comment for "Mr. American Pie." (which, if you're too lazy to figure out, is the post that is sitting just below this one). If you post your mirrored URL in the comments stream for THIS post (Freaky Friday), you will be dubbed a retard for the rest of your life - and everyone will have my permission to make fun of you with reckless abandon. I normally wouldn't post something while I was prepping for a show, but this morning has been quite eventful. I woke up to the sound of Gretchen screaming: someone broke into our car, which was sitting directly in front of our home. They made off with random CDs, a Belkin inverter, a CB radio kit, and loose change. Bastard. I had to take a taxi to work. Gretchen's spending all day (in theory) at a shoot! She got called last night by her agency to be on some Japanese television show (its name eludes me). The premise is something along the lines of reinacting famous scenes. She's going to be part of the Versace murder, I think. Killer!...

What's a namber? A namber is a word that acts as a mnemonic for a number. For example, 65 is drum, and 181 is push. A namber address uses an arbitrarily-chosen list of nambers to represent each of the numbers from 0 to 255 in order to assemble four words to represent any IP address. Metafilter.com's namber is earth .frog.brown.tooth, and mysteryrobot.com conveniently provides translation and forwarding to the real IP address.

Some fucking misbrain of a spammer, not worthy to rot on a skewer in the deepest pits of Hell has faked my email address as the return address, and now I'm getting about a billion of "We cannot deliver your mail" -messages from mailer daemons. Problem being, SpamAssassin does not pick them up since they appear as legit bounce messages. So my inbox is full of spam. This ain't the crap I was speaking of!

Wonderful double effect: if the spam goes through, then the recipient sees it; if it is bounced, then I see it.

You know, I have this wonderful blunt katana I could use to slowly rip the guts off every spammer, then whirl them around my head before tossing them over the fence for the pigs to eat. Then I would watch these gutless (literally!) illegitimate sons of bastards fall over, and kick them in the head just before they hit the ground, so their brains would burst out of their ears, and they would bounce back up before the final collapse to a mindless heap of goo.

ANGER! RAGE! KILL! MAIM! INJURE!

(Quiet: I'm okay now.)

Anything but cool, I wanted my money back at the end of this one. Catching a John Travolta film is always a gamble and he was alright in this, playing his typical Vincent Vega character, but the rest of it was just crap. I expected to like Vince Vaughn's character more, but it took about two seconds for you to get his whole schtick and then it just became really really tiresome. I did laugh out loud once -- Cedric the Entertainer as a reformed gangbanger-turned-rapper/producer/millionaire rolls up with his posse and they're all wearing tshirts with basketball jerseys over them and Cedric has a **button-down** shirt with a jersey over it -- but that was the only highlight. Metacritic, I will never doubt you again.

Via NoniWeblog , a pointer to the unsurprising fact that Japanese businesspeople are discovering the virtues of not wearing a tie; if you’ve ever been to work in a Tokyo summer you’ll understand why this is a good thing. But, in a uniquely Japanese way, they’re not just doing it, they’re mounting an official government-backed campaign. But mostly I wrote this so I could slip in a pointer to this picture.

Wourldn't it be cool if otehr people started parsing the ENT tags embedded in this post?

That way if I talked about FOAF - for instance - someone like danbri could scarf JUST the FOAF posts and do anything he wanted with them!

This would create an incredible two-way kind of capability because systems could then communictae back to me based upon what I said. I know I know -it's RSS2.0 but that becomes a really nice gateway to a world that has 75% market share of feeds(maybe even more.)

Paul Kimball (a good friend from my college days) posted his first GarageBand composition, Not Going Alone.

I first heard it last night, and it’s still in my head this morning. It’s more demo than radio-ready, of course, but the feel of it comes through with the everyman guitar sound and especially the melody and harmonies and Paul’s singing.

Zopto - is cool, I think.....


Zopto - is cool, I think..... 03/06/2004 01:49 AM

Zo pto = FOAF + RSS + open APIs.... In a reader's 'tip' to Weblogs, Inc., Ben Nolan writes, "The first of the Social Networking sites using FOAF. Foaf-based communities will likely become the second or third major social networking 'network'." According to Ben, "Zopto is building on the idea of foaf + rss + open APIs. It's a web-based application for creating and managing foaf file, and the basic framework for all the identity and collaborative tools that can build off RSS + Foaf... Zopto is currently in "alpha testing" and is only available to selected users." [The Social Software Weblog]

The next generation social nets are here!

Powered by FOAF, feature rich (including blogging, Listings, eCommerce, RSS, etc.) - these new systems are a hallmark of what's to come.

Ecademy has already shown that different kind of people want dikfferent kinds of features.  Zopto is fresh out of the box - hoping to play along. I haven't been able to get on - yet - but I'm trying.

Do you ever have something really exciting that you want to share with the world, but you're not allowed to talk about it? It drives you nuts that you have to keep it to yourself, so you quietly mention it to Janet, but Chrissy overhears you from the kitchen, and thinks you're dying, so she tells Larry, and pretty soon you're attending your own wake down at the Regal Beagle. You think this could be a chance to get Mr. Roper to give you a break on the rent, and maybe get a little something-something from that Kaylnn girl who passes out skates at the roller rink, but Mrs. Roper finds out the truth, and somehow you're learning an embarassing lesson in front of all your friends, rather than getting lucky on the waterbed in your cousin's van conversion.

In other words, I've been sitting on this big news for weeks, and I just got the green light to announce it. So pay attention, Chrissy:

I am writing a weekly column for The Onion A/V Club! Yeah, that's right! The Onion A/V Club! Wooo!

Check out the spiffy announcement:


The Onion A.V. Club also extends a hearty welcome to a new contributor who comes to us from Hollywood via the Internet. Each week, actor/author/gaming enthusiast/icon/renaissance man Wil Wheaton, who maintains an online presence at wilwheaton.net, will take a look back to games past with his Games Of Our Lives column, reaching beyond Pac-Man and Donkey Kong to find the dusty arcade games and worn-out cartridges that paved the way for the games of today.

(When I read that, I told my editor, "I love it. Can I just tell you how happy I am that it's not all 'Star Trek Star Trek Star Trek Star Trek (tiny font: writes some stuff too.)'?"

He said, "Well, the original draft referred to you as 'the spunky lad who saved the universe' and then went on to say 'Star Trek, Star Trek, Star Trek.' Then I had second thoughts.")

Can you freakin' believe that I get to write for them?! Holy shit! Writing this column is as much fun as doing Love Machine at ACME each week. I get a chance to be funny, add something pretty prestigious to my resume, and I finally have an excuse for playing so many classic video games. I mean, how many people do you know who could deduct an X-arcade Controller? :)

I did an interview with The Onion A/V Club in 2002. If you haven't seen it, you can read it here.

My first Games of Our Lives appears tomorrow. Check it out, and let me know what you think!

...that don't seem so cool now that I'm older.

One in an occasionally series.

My best friend when I was little (who was also named Meg but is a Margaret not a Meghan) and I used to go to gymnastics several times a week. We were very limber and could do splits with both our right legs and our left legs forward. We were also very into the movie Grease and I had the album (which was an awesome double-album with pictures from the movies in the middle). So when Margaret would come over after school (I always called her Margaret because otherwise it was like I was talking to myself), we'd always play Grease on my parents' stereo. And for some reason, we'd do splits. And we'd hold them for the whole side of the album, because for some reason this seemed like a really really really cool thing to do.

It occurred to me as I was telling Gina about this today at work that perhaps it, in fact, wasn't as cool as it seemed at the time.
