Every Sufficiently Large Web Company Wants to Become the Internet
No one at Google woke up from a fever dream in a cold sweat, grabbed a pen and paper, and sketched out a brilliant and inspired new idea for a web app called Google+.
Rotten Timing
me: .... crap! ::lol::
me: I just decided I wanted to get the Everyday Shooter soundtrack... and the only lead I had was this forum where someone ripped the music and posted it online for people to DL.
me: But the forum hides links to non-registered users.. so I had to register first.
me: Then I go back to the thread and refresh the page... AND THE LINK IS TO MEGAUPLOAD. -___-

New Years Resolutions
To not be a coward at work.
To finish one major, non-work-related project.
To give more of my attention, interest, and passion to the store renovation.
2012, go.

Oh, hello, New Year.
Everything seems to sneak up on me, with a full time job… I always forget to write/muse/reflect on my circumstances. When I check my last year’s New Years log, I’m shocked at all the serious changes that have been wrought in my life. I’d been out of school for half a year, but still looking for work. I was still living at home.
Now I’m...

Holy Crap, Skyward Sword.
Look here, Nintendo. As a reasonably hardcore gamer who has enjoyed every (non-handheld) console Zelda game released in the N64 era and beyond (okay, that’s not that many…), I was prepared to endure just about any heinous mechanic you wanted to throw at me, because I’m a fan and fans do stupid things for the games they love.
And I forgave you for turning me into a rolly-polly...

It’s not really a good “experiment”, if they were looking for serious data, but kind of an interesting story anyways.
A onetime child prodigy, at 39 Joshua Bell has arrived as an internationally acclaimed virtuoso. Three days before he appeared at the Metro station, Bell had filled the house at Boston’s stately Symphony Hall, where merely pretty good seats went for...

More Cow Clicker rumination. I’m really fascinated by this, it seems. This article has a lot of the same as previous ones I’ve linked, but tidbits of additional insight as well.
EDIT: this friggin’ article has a FB APP embedded into it! Every instance of the word “cow” is clickable and brings up a prompt to give permissions to an app called Wired Cow Clicker, for...

101 N is quite different to drive on at 4am in the morning. Didn’t recognize anything. Traffic and parking has never been better, though!
Your company only IPOs once, I suppose. :x

5 Logical Fallacies That Make You Wrong More Than... →
In this experiment involving electrocuting subjects (presumably conducted by Dr. Peter Venkman) scientists found people were willing to pay up to 20 dollars to avoid a 99 percent chance of a painful electric shock. Seems reasonable enough. But the same subjects would also be willing to pay up to seven dollars to avoid a tiny 1 percent chance of the same shock. It turned out that the subjects...

WatchOkay, I haven’t written about the Sing-off in a while, but I’ve been watching faithfully. I think I deserve a little kudos for feeling Pentatonix was good from their first performance and now they’re in the final three. Then again, I guess my dislike for Urban Method should cancel that out. XP
I’m unhappy with the elimination of Vocal Point, which came far too early and...

This opinion piece really revealed something for me.
I know it’s been said before that part of the charm of playing a living MMO are the changes that are made to the game as a whole: improvements to game balance or simply throwing out broken systems and trying something brand new. While some changes can be frustrating to the player base, on the whole they’re an accepted phenomenon...

15 reasons Mr. Rogers was best neighbor ever →
According to a TV Guide piece on him, Fred Rogers drove a plain old Impala for years. One day, however, the car was stolen from the street near the TV station. When Rogers filed a police report, the story was picked up by every newspaper, radio and media outlet around town.
Amazingly, within 48 hours the car was left in the exact spot where it was taken from, with an apology on the...

Stevey's Google Platforms Rant →
Google+ is a knee-jerk reaction, a study in short-term thinking, predicated on the incorrect notion that Facebook is successful because they built a great product. But that’s not why they are successful. Facebook is successful because they built an entire constellation of products by allowing other people to do the work. So Facebook is different for everyone. Some people spend all their...
Super unimpressed by this week’s Sing-off. No group caught my eye, save North Shore. They really rocked both their performances, but I’m personally still concerned about their viability as a recording group for current audiences.
Mreh! ::goes to watch Afro-blue’s “American Boy” a couple more times…:: >_>
