Ryan Fitzgerald, the million minute man.

I was reading on Google news about Ryan Fitzgerald, a guy who setup a youtube video saying "anyone can call me on my cell, just give me call and we can talk about anything" (not directly quoted) and people have been calling him non stop since Friday. I recently just got off the phone with him (sadly I got disconnected) and asked him how he's paying for it, and how the calls have been. Apparently, people have offered to setup a paypal to help him pay for his phone bill, and right now he's in New York being lodged in a 5 star hotel. He hasn't agreed to the paypal yet, but if I were him and knowing t-mobile, he might want to. It's amazing what a phone number and some syndication can do. Also, I'll be posting my phone call with him when I get home later tonight, sadly, my voice wasn't recorded, but you can hear him.

Halo 2 for Vista! Comming soon to a PC near you, well, not really, most people still have xp.

Halo 2 will soon hit Vista, this is good news for those of us who have Vista, bad for those of you who still have xp. From what I've heard it will only work on Vista, but, knowing our loving community, that'll be changed in about 2 weeks, if not less. Interestingly enough, I think this will be one of the first working "Game for Windows" title, where you put it in and it plays right away, and installs in the background. Not something new for console users, but, gives PC users something to shove in the faces of console fan-boys. One of the most awesome people in existence, Tim Buckley, got a copy of Halo 2 PC and posted about its cool new ability to load instantly. Though as he says, most of us can wait the 8 minutes or so to install a game we're going to be playing for the next few hours. Halo 2 for Vista comes out May 8th to stores where you preordered it near you. Yes, preordered is a word, from now on. You should get it, so I can beat you, because I am awesome.

Exit133 and you

It's amazing how influential someone's blog can become in just a matter of less than a year if it's 'good' and 'interesting'. Exit133 (www.exit133.com ...duh), the blog all about Tacoma and its greatness, has become a hub for people wanting to be informed and involved in their Tacoma community. It's really powerful what you can do with the Internet, anything you can say can be shared instantaneously with anyone in the world. Where else do you have a voice that powerful? Well, minus some people, but still, the possibility for instant syndication makes it simply amazing when you really stop and think about it. Maybe someday I can think of something worth reading by more than the poor souls forced to do so in my class, oh, by the way, I'm sorry to you all, lol.

Scientist: "I got an idea! Lets replace the Internet with something we say is better but really just makes it easier to spy!" Suit: "hmm, yes, I like"

Sounds good in theory, but would probably mess up the whole thing, destroying any sense of anonymity we think we have, and ultimately cost so much that the only people who would benefit are the government and companies making the new equipment. Ultimately, the online community would rise up and kill all the scientist. Now do you people REALLY want that to happen? yeah, didn't think so...

Using water to put out a magnesium fire

I just realized when I fixed my Analytics code it bumped my first post (the one with my code) off my page, good thinking there Lukas, I've moved it to the html code used to make the template, sooo, if you're reading this now, you should refresh a bunch to up my page views!
Vote Lukas!
Er, nvm....
