What will you do when everyone stops using Twitter?

creation_tweet

Like how Facebook is no longer the cool thing, soon enough everybody will stop using Twitter and go to the next big hyped up thing. When that happens, will you be able to look back at today and still think as highly of Twitter as you probably do now?

Twenty years from now how would you explain Twitter to a 5 year old kid?

For that matter, how would you explain your life and what you do now to that kid, twenty years from now?

Some things are there to be thought about…

Where are the good blogs at?

1247941600989

I’m noticing strong lack of any good blogs around. Especially about gaming and photography, etc, things I like.

It could also possibly be old good blogs are still there, but just my tastes have changed.

I don’t think so.

Also, if our attention-span has drastically decreased, it’s still possible to dish out awesome content relevant to my interests in a short good form.

Work on it. Or someone new will take your readers away.

John Travolta looked like Vincent Chase

This is John Travolta when he was much younger.

Vincent Chase, for reference. Promo photo for the (superbly awesome) sixth season of Entourage that just started. Found at Facebook.

 

It would be really sad if you didn’t know what Entourage is. Very sad for you. Go check it out right now. And if you don’t like it, try to accept the fact that you’re either very old or your taste is very unrespectable.

Brutality exists. It’s not a nice place out there.

 

1246283446239 There are many advantages of getting older... more money and respect from the world at large being the main one. However, with all this newly found cash & kudos comes the idea that maybe the world isn't such a nice place, after all. That maybe all that unhappiness you see on the faces of your fellow commuters is there for a reason. And no matter how much you try or how hard you work, none of that will ever change.

Still, I suppose it's better to know that said brutality exists, rather than burning all those calories pretending it doesn't. I just wish I'd wised up a decade earlier than I did.

A terrible terrible joke

The mayor of a city in Africa is visiting the mayor of a Chinese city. The capt.photo_1244071926023-1-0 African mayor is surprised to see the Chinese mayor's luxurious home - there are velvet curtains, shiny marble floors and beautiful fountains everywhere. "How can you afford this on a mayor's salary?" he asks. The Chinese mayor points to a bridge outside in the city. "Do you see that bridge?" "Yes." Then he points to some buildings "Do you see those buildings?" "Yes". "I take 10% from the costs of all those things", says the Chinese mayor.

A while after that, the Chinese mayor visits the African mayor. He is shocked to see that the African mayor lives in a palace. There are gold plated statues, mirror pools, and every kind of luxury that you can imagine. "How the fuck can you afford all this??" asks the bewildered Chinese mayor. "Come my, friend", says the African mayor. "Do you see that bridge?" "What bridge?" "Do you see those hospitals?" "What hospitals?"

"Exactly!"

Answers…

it was only between you and god

This gives some reasons to stop trying. No real results could ever be had  anyway. Nothing that’s permanent.

If you brought delicious food to some people, for example, how long do you think it’d really matter?

Slap to the face.

"the now-antiquated medium of the blog"


Just like LiveJournal, MySpace and soon Facebook, every hugely popular thing on the internet lasts only 2-3 years.

4Chan was at it's prime around 2003 onwards. Now it's a simpler, timid place, brustling with spammers.

What about blogging? :( It's a shame.

Pushing Daisies is a very good show

Pushing Daisies is a very good show. It’s not mind-blowing, but a fun watch. Download or buy it and watch the first two seasons when/if you have time.

Good thing they’re bringing back Futurama.

 

Did you know in Warez-bb.org you could get all the episodes of Futurama in brilliant 40mb x264 encodes? Look for them.

Linux are bicycles! LOL!

The prize for the greatest internet comment ever, goes to....

czetie

Linux advocates remind me of bicycles. No, really.

More than a century ago, when cycling was first becoming popular, a Victorian humorist named Jerome K. Jerome pointed out that you could either ride a bike or "maintain" a bike -- but not both. The bikes of "maintainers" are always in several pieces because they are tightening the spokes, adjusting the chain, replacing the brakes, or something. They never actually get to ride their bikes. If you enjoy riding, he advised, never, ever try to maintain your bike.

And this is precisely what the Linux advocates don't understand: while they may get great pleasure from the process of assembling, tuning and tweaking the ideal setup, some of us just want to get on and go for a ride.

“That's a wonderful analogy. Plus uno para ti.”

“wow that was a comment actually worth reading. props”

“I love you and your delicious, delicious comment.”

“Someone give this man a star.”

“The prize for the greatest internet comment ever, goes to....”

“thank you. I've always tried to describe how Linux folk treat computing as a hobby and I just want to use a computer to do specific functions without tweaking. You explained that perfectly.”

“that comment earned you a glowing heart...

STAR FOR YOU SIR!!”

Homage to 47 on Californication



On Californication, Season 1 Episode 3, there's a Hitman Codename 47 reference! The main guy walks sneaks into a house, and the moment he enters through the door, he steps onto a fucking yellow rubber duck. Not exactly the one on the Hitman games, though, that'd be too un-clever. But this one looks like it was strangled!

If you don't get it: In every Hitman game, 47 steps onto a squeaky duck while sneaking into places they don't want him to be. This happens at least once in every game. It's a meme.

That was SO FUKCING AWESOME! I was AAAA!! AAAA!! LOOK AT THAT!!!


Awesome. The episode was called The Whore of Babylon. Ha!


EDIT: Upon closer inspection, the squeaky toy seems to be a cock. [Or a "rooster", if I intended to be politically correct.] My call for this being awesome still holds!


[Btw, first PROPER post. I made the blog for this kind of minute observations that I make ever so often.]
