Live News: Haitian Earthquake Photos

Posted in News, Not Lame, Photo, Twitter on January 13th, 2010 by admin

As posted by me on Twitter (cut and pasted from my phone, from a great client TwitBird):

Every Haiti Earthquake photo you wanted to see on Twitter (Twitter Search link, find the latest updates) – http://bit.ly/58eX5U

Forget CNN and the rest. This is going to be your best way to find out what is going on first hand during this Hatian earthquake crisis. The next best bet is this Google Live search for “earthquake” – it will give you tweets and news stories as they come in.

Update: Here is an excellent resource, PicFog – think images sourced from the cloud (I guess). I’m sure this page will generate a good view of the current events.

Obvious: Tiny Girls Not as Attractive as “Big Bottom” Girls

Posted in Lame, Photo, Rant on October 29th, 2009 by admin

"Sexy Women", provided by a simple Google Image Search

"Sexy Women", provided by a simple Google Image Search

Male students at St Andrews University were asked to rate female faces for attractiveness and health.

The study found that girls with an average weight and build were ranked as being the most attractive and healthy.

Researchers said the findings sent out a strong message to young women who believe being underweight is considered to be attractive.


Hasn’t the Queen song Fat Bottom girls taught us anything? Girls like those on the left are the ones men all over the world are after; sure they are trim and slim – but they also have curves. BeyoncĂ©, Shakira, Pamela Anderson, Angelina Jolie, Vida Guerra… these are not tiny women. I’ve been personally attracted to a few smaller women in my time, but my blood boils at the sight of a curvy woman with the right moves. So this study spells out what we already know. Duh.

What is this a drawing of?

Posted in Kinda Lame, Photo, Uncategorized on October 3rd, 2009 by admin

What is this drawing?

Robot sperm? A swastika for schizophrenics? A clever commentary on race relations in Cincinnati? Schematics for a cold fusion reactor? The worst tic-tac-toe game ever? Connect the dots for a Parkinson’s crippled woman? The timeline of Michael Jackson’s skin color?

Nope, none of those… I was just bored waiting for my mom’s laptop to install Windows Vista Service Pack 2.

What is This?

What is This?

Kinda Lame: Photo Processor Sued For Handing Pot Photos To Police

Posted in Funny, Kinda Lame, News, Photo on July 9th, 2009 by admin

So in the age of digital cameras people are still dumb enough to take photographs of their crimes with film and have them processed by strangers:

A southern Ontario woman suing Black’s Photography over pictures of her marijuana plants will have to produce the photos in court.

Agnieska Wojtanowska says Black’s violated her Charter rights back in 2001 when a worker handed the photos over to police.

Drug charges were later dropped when the pictures were excluded as evidence because they were obtained without a search warrant.

Lame: Wolfram Alpha Doesn’t Care About Murlocs

Posted in Lame, News, Photo, Review, Screenshot, Software on May 17th, 2009 by admin

I went over to Wolfram Alpha today and gave it a simple question, that was able to be answered on The Instance (a World of Warcraft podcast) in seconds flat – “How Much Mur, Could a Murloc Loc, If a Murloc Could Loc Mur?”

Here was the response:

how-muc-mur-could-a-murloc-loc-if-a-murloc-could-loc-mur

Apparently I’m not the only one having problems, and Wolfram Alpha isn’t a tool for everyone and everything:

The service’s data is incredibly limited at this point, though, which isn’t surprising. The father of the project, controversial scientist Stephen Wolfram, says this isn’t a finished product. So many of the queries even that the company suggests trying with WA simply don’t work yet. The question is whether they ever will – from an outside perspective, it feels like the kind of project that could require immense amounts of human work.

Software Fail: iTunes 8.1 & Windows 7

Posted in Kinda Lame, Photo, Screenshot, Software on March 16th, 2009 by admin

iTunes 8.1 refused to install on my Windows 7 machine repeatedly – now I get the failure shown below. But to be fair, my buddy is getting all sorts of Sidebar errors under Windows Vista Business;

 

The simple act of plugging in the iPhone usually goes without a hitch. After installing iTunes 8.1 (x86, Windows 7) I think the phone is detected five out of ten times. The bigger issue is that this is how I charge the sucker! It doesn't charge when the device isn't detected. *Grumpy Gills*

Here is the error my buddy gets today: "The Sidebar gadget "" seems unresponsive. Would you like want to close it to ensure stability of the Sidebar?" Good job on the grammar Microsoft. See below for how to reproduce it.

Per our Skype conversation here is how to reproduce the error:

[7:15:42 PM] MNsh: umm thats a vista business error

[7:15:57 PM] MNsh: i booted my laptop with 3 monitors and it wasnt having it

[7:16:35 PM] MNsh: we have a usb hook up to have 3 montiors and i put the sidebar on the third and it gave that error on startup

IHOP on Sunday

Yum, those Stuffed French Toast and eggs were good. I wish this place was closer to home so I could have breakfast (lunch and dinner) here everyday.

It sure has been a while since we’ve seen gas prices like these in the picture ($1.76). What a time to take a road trip huh?
