Joe the Plumber Overnight Fame and Last Laughs

Saturday, October 18th, 2008 | Videos with No Comments »

Apparently “Joe the Plumber” might be the most famous plumber in the world. However, when you watch late-night television all you seem to see it a huge joke based around his actions (see above video). In addition to the video I came across a Yahoo News article stating that he’s not really a licensed plumber. Not only is he not a licensed plumber but, according to this Yahoo News article he owes $1,200 in back taxes.

Wow I guess when you obtain your fifteen minutes of fame the media starts to really dig up the the dirt on your history. I wonder what will happen when I win the lottery one day…

Casey Anthony Home / Yard Web Cam

Monday, September 15th, 2008 | Random with No Comments »

If you’ve seen anything in the news about the Casey Anthony case and the missing child. Then you know that there is a crowd of 15 minute famers who show up to the Anthony front lawn to protest just to be on the news (come on you know it’s true.. quit kidding yourself).  If you’ve seen any of the people on the news that are out in the front lawn of Casey Anthony’s house you would think you were watching the Jerry Springer show. And now I read somewhere that apparently the Dr. Phil show was taping outside their house…

Well to top it all off there is a “Mobile Web Cam” that is stationed right outside of their front lawn. When I saw this I couldn’t believe it… it’s as if they turned a tragic story into a media circus. And as for the parents of Casey Anthony why in the world would they even come out of their house to provoke the people who are inches away from trespassing on their lawn. It just blows my mind! Well here is the link that is to the “Mobile Web Cam” it refreshes every 5 seconds so those of you who are keeping track of the story can get up to date protesting news.

Plurk is it the new improved Twitter?

Monday, June 2nd, 2008 | Random with 1 Comment

Hmmm… that is the ultimate question.. I recently came across this great twitter style site called Plurk.com. Granted I’ve only been on the site for a few hours I haven’t once gotten an error for “over capacity” which is great! Aside from not getting error right of the bat there are also several features that the site offers. However, one of my favorite features is the fact that the site allows you to generate karma for your profile. Which then allows you the ability to unlock items to increase the creativity of your profile. So why not check out Plurk.com already and don’t forget to Add me as a friend!

Plurk

Need some information on the Plurk site? Well, according to the site: Plurk is that of the following…

Verb. plurk (plüer-kh) – To chronicle the events of your always on, action-packed, storybook, semi-charmed kinda life.

So once you check out the site what do you think… is it the new twitter or the twitter replacement? Feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts.

Facebook App Request Overload

Friday, May 23rd, 2008 | Networking with 1 Comment

Facebook AppsIs it me or does everyone get crrrazy amounts of Facebook application request? If you check out the image within this post you’ll see that as of May 23rd. I have 8 Top Friend Request, 3 Top Friends Friend Request (WTF?), 1 Event Invitation (I removed a few of theses), and 282 Other Request. I found that some of theses Facebook applications are pretty cool and useful. However, When someone adds way too many to their profile it then starts to look like a poorly made Myspace page with all that 1996 glitter crap everywhere. I don’t know if there is a limit to the amount of Facebook applications people can add to their Facebook profiles… in my opinion there should be!

When it comes to the 282 application request there are a ton of them that I just sit back and scratch my head at. If you check out the list below you’ll see some of the requests I’ve received.

Amount Application Name
16 funwall friend requests
31 group invitations
12 be a billionaire! requests
10 buy your friends invitations
12 friends for sale invitations
2 hotties for sale invitations
3 the lotto invitations
5 friend fu*k invitation
5 sticker requests
5 social me requests
