I swear, while the entire world is obsessed with Megan Fox, I still don’t get it. She’s just not my type. I admit, she’s nice to look at, but she’s certainly no better than at least 25 women I can name off the top of my head.
?If you eat Chinese food, your farts come out like Chinese food. If you eat Mexican food, your farts come out like Mexican food. And milk, it?s like?you can smell the warmth in the fart. My wardrobe on Transformers always smells like farts, and I have no idea why.”
On Friday, my iPhone 3G S was scheduled to be delivered. I was very anxious that, should it require a signature, I’d be spending the weekend awaiting its Monday arrival. So I took a shot and wrote a little note. I now love our Fed-Ex dude (dudette?).
After trying to figure out why my photos all had a small black semi-circle at the bottom, I learned the hard way: you have to remove your lens hood when you’re using a flash.
When you don’t, as you can easily see, the flash is blocked from lighting the bottom of your frame, and you end up with not a black semi-circle, but rather, a shadow.
It only took about a hundred pictures before I finally deciphered this simple bit. In the process, I removed my polarizer, changed my focus, and even tried the lens hood upside down.
I also figured out that while shooting in manual mode is fun, it’s almost impossible to quickly go from well lit to medium lit to dark without a lot of practice. I shot a small event (my sister’s wedding shower) as a favor, and it took about 10 minutes for me to surrender and shoot entirely in auto.
I wish I had the chance to interview Ms Bristol Palin. As a newly crowned abstinence spokesperson, I’d love to ask her “So, are you saying that you wish you had waited to have sex and that having your baby was a mistake?”
Faced with this question, she has two outs: “No, it was right for me, but it’s wrong for you” or “Yes, I wish my kid was never born.” It’s lose/lose, isn’t it?
Someone from my work thinks she’d play the religious right card and explain that “the Lord” put the challenge to her so that she would be able to share her experience and prevent further problems. In short, according to him, “she’d find a way to blame God for it.” By that rationale, is it fair for me to say “How about I smoke all the weed and then tell you all how bad it is?”
Here’s a quick clip to remind everyone that when you treat those with opposing views with obnoxious contempt, you can almost certainly count on looking like at a douche at some point. Watch everyone laugh at Peter Schiff who very accurately predicts events back in 2006. Great stuff.
Everyone makes mistakes, even the good people at Yahoo!/Flickr. I've done this on OSNews - it's broken for 20 seconds, but you still get emails and IMs from users. Many PHP functions take two arguments -- a string an an array -- and it's tough to remember which comes first, because sometimes it's the array, and sometimes it's the string. So functions like array_keys() can be tricky without using php.net.
Today is my birthday. And I was pleased to get a laugh at an article entitled "Paris defends Britney".
A choice quote: "For people to call out her parenting skills on behalf of her partying ethics is appalling."
I mean, seriously, what the f@*% does that even mean!? If you have even a cursory understanding of English, you'd know this makes no sense whatsoever. "On behalf of her partying ethics?" Uh... what? Wait... "Partying ethics?" What the hell are partying ethics? Paris Hilton must be dumb as a post. What has this world come to??
