Second Gen (2003-2016, 2016- )
One Hoogvorst brother is 1500 km east of me and another over 6000 km east of
me but through the miracle of the interweb superdooper roadway I have been taught how to turn a screen shot into a .jpeg I can edit and also how to obfuscate the emails I show here to defeat spammers.
I have never met them. But we share the devotion to the man with the wrap-around Bonos and the dreads. I will be listening by computer this
aft and then watching the TV replay this
evening.
Here’s is an interesting piece from the BBC. Isn’t it nice to know that some of the good folks handling your money haven’t got a clue that sitting in a coffee shop playing on the wi-fi is not the brightest thing to do.
From the most excellent Flea, comes the tale of the capture of meteor light on surveillance cameras. Here are three, all under a MB so a fairly speedy download:
Lovely. Reminds me that I forgot to see the transit of Venus this morning. Must remember for 2012.
Apart from the utter lack of need to observe the rules of the road – and what kind of lesson is that for the youth of today – this dune buggy shockwave game is pretty fun. I was very pleased when I looped the loop.
Via Brad.
With the current spate of photos I am noticing again a lot of “page not founds” in the refer logs via Bloglines. So remember if you are using Bloglines to read this web site, please set the preferences to “Summary” to maximize your bloggy pleasures. That means you, too, Allstream and UPEI guys.
Yesterday I needed someone 1,000 miles away to check in on someone and I was able to call on someone I write with regularly through these thingies. The person is notoriously decent but the medium has allowed me to keep up in such as way that I felt it was not an imposition to ask. Thanks…and thanks…
I puzzle over what thing tool isn’t, given its associated great claims, that it is good to have illustrated what it can do.
Did anyone else get 1000 emails from a spam source titled something like the United States Banking Association at noonish yesterday? I thank God I have my email with ISN still which lets me delete 100 at a time.
If I was smarter I would know how to paste from flash so I could show you all the rude tastefully funny messages I have put in the McDonald’s ad agency, S2K Graphics, do it yourself McDonald’s banner web widget.
Do any smart people stop by here? [Later: surely I meant smarter than me…]
Via Boing Boing but they missed the do it yourself banner widget.
I do not often endorse a business here but, as I have written before, one I love is Premiershirts which as I understand is a hobby turned business from a nice friendly guy in Oldham, England. I noticed he got a mention in an article in this month’s When Saturday Comes – which should cause a good bit of free buzz -and that he has updated his Hall of Shame of the worst jerseys of all time including Coventry’s 1970’s brown get up shown right.
This report at the BBC on the downside of “baby blogs” is interesting. I try to be discrete about the kids, images especially. I also keep away from work related topics and a few others that spark tedious threads. Some folks here, both known and not, use pen names, which is fine, while others give only a first name and no links. On the other hand, Ian tells all or at least much and others I know discuss the kids specifically. What ought not be discussed?
