Flock

Heard of flock? It's pretty neat. I downloaded the between alpha and beta version, and was pretty impressed. I suppose it's even more useful for those who are addicted to del.icio or flickr, etc., and less so for me. It's very pretty, much like firefox overall, and is a wonderful idea. And then I uninstalled it. It's nice to see, and then wait for the final version... These things always dissapoint me, but I really don't need the hassle of even another browser.

In case you're lacking human contact, but still have man's best friend..

pet plus dog leash

This is really semi-creepy. The leash has a hand hold, as a substitute gf/bf, as if you missed the contact. It's all done as a part of a project to get animals closer in social interaction to the owners.

I think this hand/leash thing just scary. If you need this kind of contact so badly... please don't do this.

Good music makes the world go round...

Or makes happiness spread just the little-ist bit. The Rolling Stones 500 Top Songs that I found on the network is just perfect. If someone really compiled the list, they are way on!

Life is tough, friend comes to visit, CSP weekend and ASP creeping up as well as more work on the horizon. And there's always room draw to cheer everyone up.

Pictures

So, I too went through the ones I had, so so many, and chose a few to share through Yahoo. And thanks to my camera, the pictures are huge and it took forever. Well, not exactly forever, but you get the jist. See for yourself.

Happy Endings

An interesting movie about a whole lot of characters. Yes, the plot is reminiscent of soap operas (which I watch only when they are disguised otherwise), but all in all it was fairly fascinating and semi-realistic about life interactions. I can't imagine the bravery and openness some feel, but it also brings to mind the terrible things done to people in humanity.

Watch this movie only if you feel like a complicated movie with tons of story lines, that ends happy, yet only happy in a strange sense, and not in the "happy ending" kind of way if you get what I mean.

San Francisco Blast

So, spring break is still continuing, except now the real work begins, meaning the homework pile I left to finish during break. San Francisco was really fun, we did all the tourist things, saw most everything, and had gales of laughter. The drive up was a pain, and the drive back was easy. It's really nice to spend a few days with no stress, and just enjoy fun and life.

Pictures to come soon. Maybe.

24

A good ending to the first season. It's all my fault I got super addicted and had to watch the whole season, and I'm up to debating whether to continue with more. Unless I watch the whole season (24 40 minute episodes) I don't think it's possible, and that's a hell of a long time to waste.

Looking forward to the upcoming week with Spring Break, the rest should be nice.

Wowser

I really had stop re-reporting the news. Maybe I should just let the journalists do their job. Today was the WEST conference here at school run by another and yours truly. Went off almost without a hitch, enjoyable and all that jazz, only to result in very tired helpers. So tired...

A day of no work, means there's much more for tomorrow. I really had better crack-down and realize that work is important. There's so many other things to get done too.

And spring break is soon, so that's good too. :)

Feeling Hungry...Cannibal film banned in Germany

No one believes me about this story, but I remember when it was on the news a few years ago. Apparently the other man (who got eaten) shared some of his body with Meiwes before offering himself up for the kill. There was some video that was airing on the internet about it, but I thought it better not to watch. So now the movie's coming out, or perhaps not.

The world is a strange and interesting place. What makes cannibalism so interesting? Is it that it's not often done, and spurs our curiosity...?
