Silly little thing I recently fell in love with, and purchased from eBay… ah… I just had to show you this! =D I’m not really into iPods or other advanced MP3 players since I usually simply use my Palm for my portable music needs. But I also felt the need for something extra small and lightweight to run around with easily [and no, I didn’t consider iPod shuffle. I don’t like Apple hardware at all, honestly.] … and here it is. Introducing, my cute little Mickey player from Walt Disney. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee it’s so cute! =D

 
This is actually the night we went to see Avatar. It was snowing like MAD! =P

I just felt the need to quickly mention here that I LIKE this! I’ve been trying out the Office 2010 Beta for a few weeks now, and so far I find it to be quite a nice bundle. Nice features, not all of them new of course but everything somehow appears to be smoother.

I’m mainly impressed with OneNote 2010. It’s lovely… try it…. trust me… 😉

“They weren’t you, honey!” =D

From my list of belated movies to watch, last night I finally got to see the latest Indiana Jones movie. And boy oh boy did I enjoy it! =D Having been a huge [and do I mean HUUUGE] fan of Indi for my entire childhood [including now =D], I was worried that this new one was going to not reach up to my expectations and let me down. Well, it did no such thing! I LUUUUUUUVED it!

I really liked the general character reunion, and all the pointers to the past adventures. It was aaaaaaaaaaaaawesome to see “Marion Ravenwood” againe. =D The cute and goofy humour of the movie was great. I also totally loved the plot for this one. I guess it was about time Indi finally met with aliens from other dimensions, right? And of course it had to happen either in Atlantis or Eldorado. I mean do you know of any more appropriate place? 😉

I’m sure glad to see Indi’s son has turned out to be as much of a bad-arse as himself. 😉 That also makes me wonder, is it possible that there are now going to be sequels with new adventures for the son?? I would sort of dig that! =D I suppose my movie-buff friends would probably have an answer for that already…. 😉

P.S.: I suppose I should also mention that last week I finally watched “The Dark Knight”. Seeing how I haven’t posted anything about it, I guess you can tell exactly how impressed [↓] I feel by it. 😉

Lovely. This is just lovely. I’m a huge fan of the track, and now here comes the new video for it. It’s amazing how the 2 voices mix… and the mood and the melody and the lyrics and everything about it is just fantastic. =)

I love OpenID. =) I really do… I guess it’s obvious by now. I’ve always been intrigued by the idea, so much so that a couple of years ago I started serving my own OpenID on Aasemoon.com.

Recently I decided it was time Verse supported OpenID, and after a few evenings of playing around with the PHP OpenID libraries, now it pretty much does that. The thing is, I have no idea how well this works. A lot of testing has to be done and I’m certain that there are still tons of bugs… but I guess I’ll perfect it in time. =) Also, you can now use your Verse profile as your OpenID, in other OpenID enabled website. So yes Verse serves OpenIDz too now. =) Or at least as far as my testing of it goes….

Not only do I have a terrible chocolate addiction, but it’s also quite well known to everyone… and who’d know that better than my mom? Here’s what she did recently…. Need I say more? =P

I just saw a commercial about a cell-phone company on TV, and the supposed “high-light” of the commercial was that some of their cell-phone models are made partially of recycled plastic. And some teenager girl was shouting about how using the recycled material can help us “save trees”. And this was the part of it when I felt a rush of blood to my brain….

So the bloody cell-phone company sells cell-phones that boil human brain cells, and they pride themselves with recycled plastic and saving trees? Giving people cancer and supposedly saving trees?

Is it just me, or is this completely bizarre…..

Hmmmm…..

Oh come on! I mean… seriously? You have got to be joking!

For the life of me, I cannot believe how fast Google is jumping from one useless project to the next! It feels as if it was just yesterday when Google gave us all a not so sweet surprise with the half baked and hardly usable Google Wave. Now here they go again, this time with the Gwitter. How many of the same thing do we need anyway?

There’s about 50-billion micro blogging services out there right now, but of course Google has found a way to make the Gwitter stand out. You know what it is that all the rest of those services are missing? Well, they DON’T SUDDENLY MAKE YOUR PERSONAL DATA INTO PUBLIC DATA!! Haha, oh yes! Google’s new ridiculous Twitter clone is the only one out there to have a security hole / privacy breach of such magnitude! Upon activating Da Fuzz on your Google account, your connections list is the first to go public, followed by another load of data apparently. And even though you have the option to change that, the default makes your connections list and other pieces of data public without actually asking / waning you.

Of course at the first glance you may not notice the gravity of the situation.. in that case, I suggest you read this pleasantly straight forward article, nicely titled “F*ck You Google”, and you’ll suddenly get a better view of exactly what’s going on.

So, we have a brand new Google service, that doesn’t do anything new, doesn’t look anything particularly appealing, doesn’t involve any sort of innovation in anything except for magnificently breaching your privacy, and yet, people are, and will be, using it. Yay to the brave new world!

Cheers! =)

Update: Thanks to my good friend Knarfoo for sharing this interesting article. Another good description of the current state of Gwitter.

Nice, really really nice! =) Facebook finally did it. FB chat supports XMPP now, and with the latest Trillian release, you can now use Trill’s Jabber / XMPP plug-in to connect to FB chat. All you have to do now, is to first make sure you have the XMPP plug-in added to your Trill, then introduce a new Jabber account, and log on with yourusername@chat.facebook.com. And by the way the username part is case sensitive… as in you have to enter everything in lower case for it to work. I set this up yesterday, and it works like a charm. =) Yaaaaaay!

Long story short: It turns out I _DISLIKE_ Caprica just about as much as I _DISLIKE_ BSG. Ahemn. Yeah. =P
