Life is a Movie

You know, I used to think that movies were usually crazy, as in, crazy things happened that didn’t normally happen in real life, or maybe the average person’s life, but the more I live, the more I’m convinced that I was wrong, really, really wrong, like maybe it’s often the opposite, because it seems that life can be pretty weird and crazy stuff can happen on a regular basis that you wouldn’t think would happen except on TV or in the movies…

I often make references to “my movie” (with apologies to JFA) in which the movie I write will have twisted outcomes to all of the standard movie plots and situations. Actually, I suppose I should start calling it “my film” because it would obviously not be commercially viable. True art rarely is.

Still, now that I firmly believe that everyday situations are just as crazy as the stuff in movies, I start to wonder if even that will be enough…

How Not to Use Blogger

Oh man, I shouldn’t even draw attention to this – wait – I can use nofollow! See Wisconsin Realtor at blogspot.com

So wrong… So wrong… Shame on you Julia!

If only some of Google‘s/Blogger‘s bestest and brightest could put some of that brainpower towards stopping such abuse of the system…

Kottke’s Plasma

Kottke says:

In the rough chart I conjured in my head last night, the revenue line and the “I don’t need to sell my blood plasma” line are converging nicely…

Pete says: Oh how I wish there were a place near my home that would pay me for my plasma, or other bodily fluids I can quicky replenish/have too much of – and remember kids, besides providing some extra income, plasma can actually save lives – start selling your plasma today!

Want to learn more about plasma from RasterWeb!?

T-rusty Sidekick…

Thanks T-Mobile! If you did not have such crappy coverage where I live I might have actually considered using you as a service provider, and getting a Sidekick.

And while we’re on the subject of security, obscurity, and other issues… I must remind people that misinformation can be as useful as information. Poor Paris got her data 0wn3d, and that ain’t cool, but I saw several people wonder if it was real or not… See, now I don’t have the contacts she does, but what I would do is salt (or pepper) my data with some stuff that just makes no sense, like “Ask Colonel Sanders for that recipe” or maybe “Tell Elvis he left the water running again” and my contacts would include Squiddly Diddly and Dr. Zachary Smith. You know, just enough weirdness to confuse people and make them question the legitimacy of it all.
