Old Farts
Hmm, why do we call older people "Old Farts"? Wiktionary and other sources define an old fart as an elderly person who holds views that are considered old-fashioned. If this is true, our country is run by old farts. Quick PSA. Remove Reid and Pelosi NOW! End PSA.
Anyway, back to the definition of old farts. It just doesn't click for me. I would be inclined to think that we call elderly people old farts, because their farts are "Old" or they cannot control their asses and they drop the "F" bombs like it is nobody's business.
Also, wassup with the old guys wearing both suspenders AND a belt. What the hell is that? I can see using one or the other, but not both. Where the hell do the old timers think their pants are going? I just do not get it. I am out.
Holding Back
I am not going to announce any details, but do want to give readers a hint. I am planning to post original content for our "niche" readers. If you have been reading the blog for a while then you know what I am referring to.
Do not believe it? Our friend Ninja got a preview of the content earlier today. The content needs to be edited, so it's web-ready. Ideally, everything will come together over the next couple days or week. Stay tuned.
Tapping That Ass
Haha! I get to use "Tapping That Ass" again, who would have ever guessed? Check this out, I stumbled on another website. Yeah, yeah. The website is "Can I Tap That" .COM, which asks visitors to text someone and ask them "Can I Tap That?" and post the response.
I read a couple of pages, but think the site is boring. But that is just me. Okay, ass tappers go ahead and text someone and ask them if you can "Tap That". Post your response on the website and see if it makes the Top Taps List.
Best Answer
I heart Yahoo! Answers, because you just never know when you are going to stumble on a gem. Below is a classic example. The poster asks if she can get pregnant from "Tappin that ass". Haha, I have always wanted to use that phrase in a post.
Back to the question. I guess it's a valid question, so let's leave it at that. The topic of this post is not the question, but the answer. The responder answered the question with some funky ASCII art. Nice.
Hold That Truck
Have you ever missed a shipment or found one of those dreaded "missed you" slips on the door or mailbox? I hate that crap! Well, you can kiss that shit goodbye soon. Walgreens has introduced the PickupZone service, so you can ship to and pickup packages at Walgreens.
Why would I want to ship to Walgreens? Hmm, I am going to pretend that I did not read that dumb question. Anyway, ship your stuff to Walgreens. The store will sign for and store your package. Walgreens sends you an email and you pickup package. Pretty simple.
No more missed packages. The Walgreens PickupZone service is available only in Manhattan, Boston, and Chicago areas. More locations to follow. Restrictions do apply and this is not a free service. Check the Walgreens website for more information. End PSA.
The Apple iTable
Look what I stumbled on while browsing through the latest from Google Reader. The must-have for the Apple Elitist that has everything. An Apple iTable coffee table. It's available in classic white, black, and sunny yellow. Nice! Order yours today at ginepro.org.
Gimp is Gimp
I am using Gimp to resize some images for a presentation. After I finished, I tried to rename the images folder but no luck. Okay, time to fire up handy-dandy Unlocker 1.8 to see which application has a strong arm hold on the directory.
Wanna take a wild guess? I found one instance of PowerPoint and over 50 instances of Gimp with locks to the image folder. Nice job! If I save an image and close the editing window, it should release the lock. Is that too difficult? Am I doing something wrong here? Damn.
Credit CARD Act of 2009
Okay, effective tomorrow the balance of the rules go into effect. If you did not know, the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure Act of 2009 was signed into law 9 months ago and comes into effect tomorrow, Monday, February 22, 2010.
If you do not know what the hell I am referring to, just head on over to Wikipedia or other source. If you do not care, no problem. I just wanted to remind those that are in the know of the effective date. Think of it as another public service announcement.
Chrome and GoDaddy
As mentioned a few weeks ago, I'm pimping Google's latest version of Chrome. For the most part, I like Chrome now versus the early clunkers. However, one MAJOR annoyance is that I cannot reply to GoDaddy Webmail via Chrome.
There are other quirks, but the main one is not being able to reply to "G" mail. Haha, had to sneak that one in, nice! Anyway, I found a couple of posts which describe similar issues with no apparent resolution. Which "G" is going to fix this? Anyone have the same issue?
David and Goliath
Have you read the news about a Harvard Law Student who filed the class-action complaint against Google? No? Read the below excerpt and come back. What do you think? Is this the modern day story of David and Goliath? A student fighting for her rights!
The complaint alleges that Google Buzz, which automatically opted-in all Gmail users upon its launch, unlawfully shared personal data without users' permission. The document cites the Federal Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the Federal Stored Communications Act and California common and statutory law.
Do you want to know what opinionated Wassup Jose thinks about it? I think she is a media whore who filed the complaint seeking her 15 minutes of fame. Think about it for a second, Harvard "Law" Student files class-action complaint against Google.
What does she have to lose? Nothing at all, but she has a lot to gain from the complaint. If she loses the complaint, she got her 15-minutes of fame and goes away. What if she wins? I bet she uses it to her advantage. "I filed and won a case against Google!"
