That’s no moon…

24 08 2006

In a horiffic sudden event this week, Pluto was destroyed by what some are describing as a small moon, or even a space station. The Empire has not been able to be reached for comment.

My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine… well Pizza’s is no more.

It can be said in the intergalactic game of Survivor, “And then there were eight.”

Okay, in all seriousness, Pluto is no longer a planet. Although it may not of been voted out of the island, destroyed by the Death Star, or even swallowed by a worm hole…Pluto has been degraded to the status of “dwarf planet”. The other 8 planets are considered “classical planet” (apparently because of their love of Bach’s music).

Okay, so this is the cheesiest post EVER…but it’s all to say…Pluto is a planet no more.

Blue-Blooded Blogger

23 08 2006

I found this list of items that classify you as a “Blue-Blooded Blogger”, and quite a few strike home.

  • you have more blog friends than ‘real life’ friends.
  • you’re blogging in your head before you fall asleep.
  • your out of town girlfriend and you converse in your blog’s comments.
  • you tell your friends and family things like, “I’ll ping you and you ping me back,” or “Okay, I want to trackback on your last comment…”
  • you blog in your head an event that’s happening at that very moment!
  • you actually take the time to figure out how to set up Active Desktop in Windows just so that you can make your Bloglines MyBlogs page your Windows background.
  • and then you actually leave it that way because you like it… and you make that your browser home page.
  • all of the visible entries in your browser’s links toolbar relate to blogging!

Okay so not all of them ring true….but that Bloglines ActiveDesktop trick might be a good idea.

Paris + YouTube = Crazy STD’s?

22 08 2006

Paris Hilton has partnered with YouTube and even has her own channel on there.  It doesn’t seem to be as popular as other YouTube stars yet with the stats pretty low:

 Views: 45,344  |  Subscribers: 749
Compared to YouTube star Brookers:

 Views: 2,459,939  |  Subscribers: 16,879

I’m sure Paris will bring even more people to the YouTube revolution that is sweeping the net, but  I want to know when Paris’ sex tape is going to be on YouTube under her channel, not just posted by other members.

Back to School: Mac program essentials

22 08 2006

There is a great list of programs that every student should have on their new mac laptop as they head back to school. It is also a great list to check out for anyone else with a mac. I’m happy to say I use about 80% of the products mentioned.

One program mentioned that I didn’t know about was iAlertU. You lock your laptop with your Apple remote, and if it is moved at all, it takes a picture of the perp and locks down the system. Perfect for those long study scessions in the library when you need to get up to head to the bathroom.

Apple Keynote - Sept 25th

22 08 2006

Just a few short weeks after my 26th birthday (Sept 11th), Apple is gathering the press in Photokina, the day before the major show up there begins.

Let the rumor mills start: updated nano, iPod video, movie downloads, core duo 2 laptops?

Plugins gone bad

21 08 2006

It looks like it is a good thing to keep on top of the latest plugins you use in Wordpress. I posted a video from YouTube using Viper’s Video Quicktags plugin I had installed on Adam’s recommendation. The version I had was not the latest 3.0, and it literally brought down my site.

Everythings fixed now, but just a tip….occasionally check the plugin sites that you use for updates, you may often find new features, or that there is something terribly wrong with the version you are using.

Below is a funny reply to the Mylo video using the Viper plugin….hope it works ;-)
