What Kind of Subatomic Particle are You?

I know... normally I hate these sort of quizzes. But it's the holidays, and I'm a little bored today. Embrace your inner geek today.

What kind of subatomic particle are you?

Neutron -- You don't take sides, you just sort of hang out and blend into the crowd. If someone lets you loose though, you can cause some serious damage. If you are arround too many other neutrons you get bored and start to decay.

Your Fake Twitter, Courtesy of Facebook

I signed on to twitter a while ago, mostly because Phil browbeat me into it, but it sounded like a great idea, making text messaging social. Txting 2.0 if you will. I don't want to go into a lot of detail about what it involves, but in order to understand the rest of this post, it's important you understand at least a little bit about what Twitter does.

From the Twitter Wikipedia article:

Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send "updates" (text-based posts, up to 140 characters long) to the Twitter website, via short message service, instant messaging, email, or [desktop] applications...

Updates are displayed on the user's profile page and instantly delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them... Users can receive updates via the Twitter website, instant messaging, SMS, RSS, email or through an application.

So... in short, if I'm sitting at Common Grounds Coffee in Davis, I can txt from my phone to Twitter "Hanging out at Common Grounds" and whoever has an account set up to "follow" me will get a txt on there phone with my latest post. Sounds fun huh?

The only problem is I have a grand total of 3 friends on Twitter, so it kinda limits the whole socialness aspect. Thats where Facebook comes in.

Facebook which has a similar concept with their "status" field which recently got updated with mobile abilities. You can txt your status to facebook, and set up the site to txt you when your friends change their status. It's slightly less feature rich, and far less hip, but basically accomplishes the same thing, a stream of random updates of what my friends are up to. I have over 70 facebook friends, so that makes it a no-brainer for me.

Plus I don't have to abandon Twitter altogether, right now I can send one text message to both facebook and twitter, just in case I start to use twitter more in the future.

Eddie Izzard- Death Star Canteen

Someone has way too much time on their hands. But God bless them for it. For those of you who know what a big Eddie Izzard fan I am, you'll know I couldn't help but pass this along. This guy also has a bunch of other lego/Izzzard mashups, but this is the best.

Tag: The Movie Trailer 2001

When I was at UCSC my friends Brendon and Mick (and others) got together to make this movie. Although I played a small role in the production, I'm proud to have been a part in this brilliant work. See if you can spot me. Thanks to Brendon for digging this up again.
