Play the Piano With Your Balls
Check out this amazing and yet somewhat annoying video from StupidNakedPeople.com.
I kept waiting for the guy to mess up, but he never did…pretty impressive even though you could fake it with a pre-recorded thing and just make sure the balls hit somewhere close to the correct keys.
iChat Is Really Pissing Me Off
On Sunday my parents got them selves a shiny new 17″ iMac, much like my own except they have the fabled Intel chip residing in their machine. My Mom’s all excited to join the Clut of Mac and all and last night we tried to to a video chat with iChat 3. I have never experienced so much damn trouble with any thing Apple before in my life!
Every damn time we tried to connect (we tried inviting both ways) we get “[User] did not respond”. I’ve had this issue before a few times, usually a restart or something fixes the problem (annoying, but not the end of the world), however this time nothing I seemed to do on either of the computers worked. I cranked up the iChat bandwidth, I cranked up the Quicktime bandwidth, I restarted my machine, and I even setup the iChat video test accounts on both of our buddy lists. Both of us could connect just fine to the Apple test accounts, but we couldn’t get it to connect to each other! It was driving me insane! Sadly we had to give up…and now I’m here bitching out into the nothingness that is the internet.
You let me down Apple. I thought that the latest update (10.4.5 with iChat 3.1.1) would fix this problem, but it seemed to have just made it worse. I doubt it could be any internet connection problems on either end because we can both connect to the test accounts without issue, so who the hell knows what the problem is. For shame Apple, for shame…(I still love you, because this is still better than anything else, but…) for shame.
If you too are experiencing the maddening events I just spoke of, feel free to peruse the links I collected last night. They didn’t seem to help me, but maybe you will have better luck.
One of Apple’s many support discussions on this topic
Some guy’s blog post about it.

JLo’s Nipple Tweaker
CityRag has turned me on to a new dream profession: Nipple Tweaker. Check out this JLo photo, from I think the “Jenny From the Block” video shoot and tell me if this is your new dream job.
As I Like to Think Paulie Shore Would Say: Linkage
Notable links from around the web that don’t really need a full post about them:
- Why did Google make their page building doohicky? I could see it as a way to pretty up your Google home page, but if thats not whats its for, then I really don’t see the point. Thats all I’ll say for now, everyone is pretty much beating this story to death already.
- iTunes finally hit the 1 Billion mark, and some lucky bastard hit the Apple jackpot by winning that contest.
- The MacBook Pro gets it first real review. What a surprise, it was done by MacWorld.
- Gadgetopia discovers the thrilling world of Snow Melters.
- kit_kat008 is proclaiming her self a slacker and is pondering the whole “Why should I blog if noone is reading it?” Been there. The secret it just write about fart jokes. Who doesn’t like fart jokes? Trust me it works. Even if noone reads it, its still funny to you. If you are feeling like a giver, head over to her blog and drop a comment.
Update: It seems that kit_kat008 has turned off her comments to people that aren’t listed as her “friend” on livejournal. I think that might be a major thing to recitify before one blogs about how no one comments on their blog.
Technorati Should Get Its Search Right Before Adding Any More
Is anyone else completely unimpressed with Technorati’s latest offering, “Favorites?” Yes, I know Scoble’s all jazzed about it, but to me, its a worthless feature. Why do I need another place where I can put my bookmarks? I have my iBook, my iMac, del.icio.us, this site, and I’m sure I’m forgetting a bunch more. I don’t want another place to stash favorites and then forget about them. Some people might have moved their “primary” bookmark location over to Technorati if they are already on the site a lot, but I have serious doubts that anyone will do that with the odd, hopefully temporary, rule that you can only hold a max of 50 bookmarks or “favorites.”
I think I see what Technorati is going for…they want a search where entries come up and they are marked by a snazy little picture denoting that “this article is marked as a favorite by 23 people.” Isn’t an idea like that better served by partnering with a more established bookmarking site (del.icio.us), than just slaping together your own bastardized version? Maybe Technorati tried to partner first, only to be shot down. If that is the case, then they should have just scrapped the idea. As far as I’m concerned, they should be scrapping all feature ideas until I can search for links to Hell Yeah Bitch! .com on their site without getting the “We are experiencing a high traffic load.” message 75% of the time.
Update: I was doing a search on Technorati to pull a link for this article, and I found out that they have somehow managed to “lose” Hell Yeah Bitch! .com. I have one blog registered under my name and all its information is all blank. Features (especially ones we don’t need) should really come after all the basic site functions are 100% functional don’t you think? Maybe Dave Sifry wouldn’t mind stopping by to explain this…

Furious Firefox Tabs
Yeah, there’s a memory leak in Firefox. People have been griping about it for long enough…finally someone decided to turn it into a game of sorts. Kevin @ theory.isthereason.com created the idea for everyone to take a screen grab of your screen with as many tabs open in Firefox as you can, and then upload it to flickr tagged with: furiousfirefoxtabs Some of the current entries are astounding (like this one).
Go As Something You Hate Party
Recently I was invited to a “Go As Something You Hate Party.” Want to take a wild guess as to what I came as? Hopefully you guessed right…I mean there’s a picture of the answer right here.
I came as a Livestrong band, and my girlfriend came as Paris Hilton. Somewhat surprisingly, most everyone liked my costume.
Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars) Does Maxim
Damn, thats nice of everyone. To celebrate the third birthday of Hell Yeah Bitch! .com (I assume) Maxim magazine and the star of my favorite TV show did a wonderfull little photo shoot. Kristen Bell, the star of Veronica Mars graces the cover of Maxim this week, and for the first time in 3 years, I wish I still subscribed to Maxim.
Head to Maxim’s site to view the rest of her photo spread.
