I love mashups when they're done well.
This is a great example:

TIL: GPS limits

noreply@blogger.com (Eric) — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 15:52:00 +0000

Today I Learned - If your phone goes 1,200 mph (1000 knots), its GPS will be disabled because the COCOM limits will take into effect: anything going this fast and over 60,000 in altitude is likely a ballistic missile and shouldn't be tracked. Say what!

Bob Dole lost the use of his right arm in WWII. He carries a pen in that hand in public so people don't move to shake his right hand.

Playstation Network is back online - what it means for PS3 owners

noreply@blogger.com (Eric) — Tue, 17 May 2011 01:38:00 +0000

After a security breach, PlayStation Network was taken down for quite a while. Now that it's back, they want to welcome people back with some incentives. I think it's a great PR move and is much better than the usual begging customers to come back or just offering a discount. They went the extra step:

Gamers will get to choose 2 out of the following 5 PS3 games to keep for free forever: Dead Nation, inFamous, LittleBigPlanet, Super Stardust HD, Wipeout HD + Fury.

PS3 owners will also get 30 days of PlayStation Plus and some free movie rentals to be announced.
What do you think? Is this good enough?

Here are some trailers for each PS3 game from the list:
Dead Nation

inFamous

LittleBigPlanet

Super Stardust HD

Wipeout HD + Fury:

Flying is crazy

noreply@blogger.com (Eric) — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 00:45:00 +0000

So I decided last night while on Southwest Airlines [great airline, BTW] that flying on passenger jets is such a crazy thing to do. You are up a billion feet in the air, in a tin can, going pretty fast through clouds, ice crystals, birds, wind, fire, etc. Most of the time the plane is stable and you feel like you're on the highway. Other times you think the thing might fall apart. Wait, you say you're never afraid of flying? Bullshit!

Why are we OK with Sucky Cellphone Quality?

noreply@blogger.com (Eric) — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 21:11:00 +0000

How is it that we are all O.K. with really crappy cellphone call quality? People don't realize how potentially good the quality could be.

The high-treble, staticy and scratchy sound that gets sent from your cellphone is one of my worst peeves. It is just accepted that cellphones don't sound that great. I do not think it's a lack of technology, it's just a lack of public outcry that makes it okay for cell companies to ignore good quality audio and save on bandwidth costs.

We can send texts, pictures, even video - at decent quality. We complain when it takes more than 10 seconds for a web page to finish loading - but nobody ever talks about the quality of someone's voice over the phone: it's crap! I really don't like talking on the phone. I was trying to think of reasons why.

For one thing, I'm the kind of guy that likes to do lots of things at the same time. Most of those things require two hands: I hate holding phones. Things I do also usually require some kind of thinking: hard to do on a phone. They also usually require sound: TV, guitar, computer - basically can't do anything except sit there on the phone.

The other reason is that it's either rough on my ears as an annoyance, or it's tough to understand what people are saying on the other end due to the bad quality. The lowest plan for an iPhone user costs more than $70 per month -- is that not enough money to pay for some better bandwidth and quality audio??

I don't even think landline phones are where they should be today. It should sound like I'm right next to the person with the amount of available bandwidth and money floating around. Hey AT&T + Verizon - Take a lesson from VoIP and increase that phone quality so it's at least better than cans & string . It could be the best differentiator in cellphone history. Anyone else in agreement, or am I crazy?

How to Open Two Excel Windows Side by Side, Multiple Monitors in Windows 7

noreply@blogger.com (Eric) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 21:22:00 +0000

To open a second instance of Excel in

Windows 7, middle click on your Excel taskbar item, and pow - you have opened a second window that is totally separate from the Excel window you have opened already.

Before, you could only have two spreadsheets open within the same parent form. This meant you could only use one monitor, unless you stretched the window out manually and placed things in their spot. If you have two monitors with different resolutions, forget it. (Think laptop and external monitor, like I have at work).

If you have Win Vista or earlier, you can see if this helps.

How to Add Twitter Usernames with a .CSV or Excel Spreadsheet

noreply@blogger.com (Eric) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:19:00 +0000

If you have a large mailing list or database of people, and you are one of the hip people who uses Twitter, you're in luck. With a bit of magic, Twitter can find out which of those e-mails are on Twitter, and import them to your Follow list.

Here's how:

Save your spreadsheet as a .CSV file - you need to have the following column headers (and only these): First Name, Last Name, Email Address. See this Gmail KB article
Make a new Gmail account. The best way to do this is to have someone send you an invitation through their Gmail account. You can also send yourself an invitation. The reason you want to do it this way is because if you are a random person signing up for the first time from gmail.com, they will ask to send you a SMS message to verify you're a human. You can only do that once, so try the invitation method. You should now have a completely blank Gmail account with only the welcome e-mails in your inbox, and nobody in your contacts list.
Import your .CSV file into your Gmail contacts list. On the left side of Gmail, you'll see the word "Contacts" - go in here and on the upper right is the word "Import". Follow these steps if you get confused. NOTE: You can only hold a few thousand contacts at a time. Break your spreadsheet into multiple chunks if you need to and repeat this step after you upload your first chunk to Twitter.
Log in to Twitter
On the upper-right, click "Find People"
Click the tab called "Find on Other Networks" - Use your newly-made Gmail account to have Twitter pull in those contacts. You're done! Read on for another tip.
I recommend making a note of who these contacts are so you can put them into a Twitter List later for a quick look at your customer or mailing list database tweets. More on these new Twitter Lists can be found on Hubspot's blog post:
An Inbound Marketer's Introduction to Twitter Lists
If you have more contacts that couldn't fit into your Gmail contact list, go into your Contacts section, delete everyone in there, and Import chunk #2.
Rinse and Repeat if desired.

Well, that wasn't so bad, now was it? Now get out there and interact with your database folks in the way you always wanted to.

How to Swiffer without a Swiffer

noreply@blogger.com (Eric) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:41:00 +0000

Sick of dragging out a huge mop + bucket of crappy water around, I needed a new solution to a dirty linoleum kitchen floor - without needing to buy a Swiffer.

Here's how I did it:

Sweep the floor as usual, picking up loose dirt and things, put in a dustpan and throw in the trash. Well, don't throw it - it usually ends up back on the floor that way.
Get some of your favorite cleaning wipes. They come in a plastic canister, are moist, and you pull them up as if they were tissues. Soggy Kleenex if you will. Either way, I had some of the Clorox brand wipes from Target.
Pull two of them out.
Place on floor. Don't drop them, you're not good enough to have them land perfectly flat.
Step on them with shoes on. I recommend Saucony running shoes.
Do a little dance. The trick here is to scrub back and forth with your feet staying on the floor. Try to incorporate "The Robot."

And you're done! Depending on how filthy of a pig you are, you may need to use quite a few cleaning wipes, but compared to a Swiffer, it's more fun and less expensive!

How to Make Pie and Get Kisses

noreply@blogger.com (Eric) — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 21:41:00 +0000

In 60 seconds or less, you TOO can make this quick and delicious pie.

The Story:
My girlfriend wanted some pie the other night. We haven't had dessert in our apartment for some time. Stop & Shop was open (they're open late), but it was late and we had a podcast to finish. Also, pies from the store cost money.

The PIE:
1. Grab a small plate of some sort. Not as small as a saucer, but just a bit bigger.
2. Unwrap 5 granola bars. These should be the Quaker oats chocolate chip granola bars.
3. Lay them out like this: |||| so you basically have 4 bars side-by-side, and one laying lengthwise around them.
4. Squish the hell out of them until you have something that resembles a round granola-y pie crust
5. Slather two Snack-Packs of chocolate pudding on top of your granola mass. Use good care in texturing the surface so it looks totally delicious.
6. Tell your girlfriend you got a really expensive pie and get kisses.
Bonus: it slices pretty well, believe it or not. You get pretty perfect little triangles of fun if you did step 4 right.

IT'S THAT EASY, FOLKS!

Facts of Life - at this point in time.

noreply@blogger.com (Eric) — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 18:38:00 +0000

Random thoughts from people our age...received this as an e-mail forward from a friend. Too much of it is true, but it's reassuring I'm not the only one. Not all of it is true for me, for example the first one, but you be the judge:

-More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.

-Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

-I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter?

-Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.

-That's enough, Nickelback.

-I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

-Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the "people you may know" feature on Facebook people that I do know, but I deliberately choose not to be friends with?

-Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft.

-There is a great need for sarcasm font.

-Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the f was going on when I first saw it.

-I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still the only one who really, really gets it.

-How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

-I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

- I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

-The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text.

- A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.

- Was learning cursive really necessary?

- Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".

- I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

- Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.

- My brother's Municipal League baseball team is named the Stepdads. Seeing as none of the guys on the team are actual stepdads, I inquired about the name. He explained, "Cuz we beat you, and you hate us." Classy, bro.

- Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".

- How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?

- I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!

- Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in' examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)..ummm...Goonies"

-What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?

- While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.

- MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

- Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

- I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.

-Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

- I would like to officially coin the phrase 'catching the swine flu' to be used as a way to make fun of a friend for hooking up with an overweight woman. Example: "Dave caught the swine flu last night."

-I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

- Bad decisions make good stories

-Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if I do!

- Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?

-If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.

-Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a problem....

-You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day.

-Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection.

-There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

-I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

- "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever.

-I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?'

-I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dammit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

- I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

-When I meet a new girl, I'm terrified of mentioning something she hasn't already told me but that I have learned from some light internet stalking.

-I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.

-Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles..

- As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.

-Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

-It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.

-I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

-Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it.

-Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I’d bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time...

-My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the hell do I respond to that?

-It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.

-I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.

-I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

-I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.

How to Make Me Not Want to Buy Your Ice Cream

noreply@blogger.com (Eric) — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 21:38:00 +0000

Make your huge picture of ice cream glow.
I don't want your mutant ice cream. This [probably stolen] ice cream picture on a local mini-golf place's website has a white outline around it as if they poorly used the lasso tool to cut the image out of its original [yup, stolen] image and not care to zoom in and cut it perfectly out. (click pic to huge-ify)

Really, though, why not just show me your ice cream stand? It looks nice in real life. Even a low quality picture from a camera phone would be better than your plain vanilla stolen mutant ice cream picture.
Leave a bunch of typos in the text below the mutant ice cream.
I don't want my ice cream served by morons. They will figure out a way to screw up the scoops.

I need my scoops to be perfect.

What's New in the Upcoming Facebook App Update for iPhone

noreply@blogger.com (Eric) — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:03:00 +0000

The new FBook app will be submitted to Apple soon, they say. "It's 98% done."
From Joe on the Facebook app dev. team:

Facebook for iPhone 3.0 is coming very soon. I can't predict an exact date when I will submit to Apple, but I can say that I am about 98% done. So what's new in this update?

1. The "new" News Feed
2. Like
3. Events (including the ability to RSVP)
4. Notes
5. Pages
6. Create new photo albums
7. Upload photos to any album
8. Zoom into photos
9. Easier photo tagging
10. Profile Pictures albums
11. A new home screen for easy access to all your stuff, search, and notifications
12. Add your favorite profiles and pages to the home screen
13. Better Notifications (they link to the comments so you can reply)
14. Quickly call or text people right from the Friends page
15. Messages you are typing will be restored if you quit or are interrupted by a phone call

The one feature everyone is asking for, Push Notifications, is in development but it won't make it into 3.0. You can expect it in a 3.1 update later this summer.

When I have submitted the app to Apple I will let you all know!

- Joe

And included these screenshots:

I'm happy with just the addition of the "Like" button, finally. Anything else is pretty useless to me until Push notification comes out in the next minor release.

HOW-TO: Moon Walk Like MJ

noreply@blogger.com (Eric) — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 03:06:00 +0000

You've waited long enough. Now's the time to calmly bust out with a moonwalk when someone makes a bet that you can't. To see a visual of this incredibly cool dance move, watch the how to moonwalk video from which I transcripted the following steps:

Find a smooth surface. The smoother, the better. Wooden floors or stage will do best. Soft dance shoes help
Back straight. Feet together pointing forward
'L" position - Lift your right leg, place your toes down on the floor about a foot behind your left leg
Balance - Learn to keep your balance. To make it easier, increase the width between your feet.
The slide - lean back onto your rear leg and slide the left heel back and into the floor so it finishes behind the right leg-- and at the end of the movement, snap the heel of your left foot up off the floor. The toes of both feet should never come off the floor, even when the heels do
The snap - As you snap your left heel up off the floor, your right heel should simultaneously snap down onto the floor.
Copy - From the finishing position on the last move, duplicate the slide on the other foot
The head - as you slide back, move your head forward to create an illusion of leaving it left behind due to the movement.
The arms - swing your arms as if you were walking forward normally
Practice.
