I am not normally into art at all. I have actually even been known to call it evil after a few beers. Nonetheless, I have added an art category to this blog, due to this post.

Here is a photo I did when I was bored. I don’t remember where I got the idea from, but I’m pretty sure that I’m not the first do do it.

I have an HTC Touch, which is pretty much an iPhone, without the cool factor. Here is my artsy photo, that I took with my HTC Touch.

I call it “eyePhone”

I have many gripes with Facebook. My biggest is that they don’t allow for full resolution photo galleries. They even have the guts to try to get people to buy prints at crappy resolution. I have swallowed my pride and have pretty much come to terms with the uselessness of facebook albums.

Recently, I have been receiving a lot of invites to the the application “Watch this video.” This application is totally useless, and unnecessary. It only exists because a few developers wanted to jump on the Facebook application ad revenue bandwagon. What I don’t understand is how can people not see through this transparency of applications like this, and why don’t people just send links to youtube if they want me to watch this video. Having to install a Facebook application just to view a video is just crazy. That’s the end of my rant!

For non-seinfeld fans that didn’t understand the title:

In sadder news today, George Carlin has passed away. As a tribute to him, here is one of my favorite stand up routines:

Sorry for my poor performance here last week. I realize I haven’t posted in almost a week, so here are some funny pics to make up for last week.

Today is the official release day of Firefox 3!!

I have been using Firefox 3 since the beta versions came out a few months ago. Simply, Firefox 3 rock. I am a heavy tab user, which is where Firfox 3 has made major improvements. Gone are the days of crashes, maxed out CPUs, and memory leaks.

Even if you need any more excuses to download firefox, Mozilla is trying to set a new world record for most download in 24 hours…

Go and download it!!!!

10. People who believe in talking snakes and virgin births are allowed to hold public office. Currently it is the opposite; belief is basically a requirement.

9. Libraries still use the dewey-decimal system.

8. Sending a text message costs 10cents, but a data plan costs $10/month. What’s the difference….it’s all digital signals.

7. It’s cool to be dumb in high school.

6. People actually watch Fox news.

5. 91% of Americans believe in god.

4. $1.2 trillion can buy this, a bit outdated but still a good article.

3. People still use Internet Explorer 6, or less. IE 6 accounts for 30% of IE traffic on this site. Overall I am actually pretty impressed with my readers. My site is viewed by Firefox 75% of the time, well ahead of the Internet average. That reminds me, make sure to download Firefox 3 tomorrow.

2. People pay for bottled water.

1. The Homeschooling Science Fair (Where is the science?) I feel really sorry for this girl, but I am putting her picture up anyways:

If you guys have any more to add to the list, just email them to me, and I’ll add yours to the list with a link.

I just captured a neat screenshot…Barack Obama is now following me on twitter……cool. You can follow him here.

Last week, a lot of new information was revealed about Bill Maher’s upcoming movie, Religulous. I have been tracking the term religulous with google alerts and my inbox has exploded with stories. I started tracking the term about a month ago and had received about 5 alerts about it in the first 3 weeks. Over this past week, I have received over 50 alerts.

Here is a roundup of the writing from around the blogosphere that I found to be the most interesting.

Religulous was originally planned to be released around easter, but easter came and went and the movie didn’t get released. At the time, I was left wondering why Maher’s camp was quiet about the film not getting released. It was not until I read Phil Brown’s article that I realized this was due to the writer’s strike, which I had completely forgotten about. I guess this is because I don’t watch enough TV.

Slashfilm was one of the first blogs to notice and post the new trailer, which is where I found out about it in the first place. They had good statements from both Larry Charles and Bill Maher:

Set to the rhythms of Sympathy for the Devil and Jesus Walks, from the Western Wall to the Vatican, from self-professed messiahs to self professed Pariahs, we will not only expose the hypocrisy and corruption in organized religion but the absurdly hilarious logic that holds it together. - Larry Charles

————

As a comedian, religion has always interested me — it was the single easiest subject to make jokes about. I think that tells us something:  comedians look for things that don’t make sense, that are illogical.

Join me in the final battle between intelligence and stupidity that will decide the future of humanity. Coming soon to a house of false idols near you. - Bill Maher

Not everyone found the trailer funny….

Rama over at Rama’s Screen missed out on the humour:

Religulous has hit the web and Bill Maher surprisingly is not as funny as he is on his show.

Eddie couldn’t even come up with any ideas of his own to diss the film. He just copied and pasted some weird poetry that sounds pretty ancient and hardly makes sense, instead of coming up with any arguments himself.

There was a wide range of reactions, but overall most were positive. Even some humour blogs, like gorillasushi, posted the trailer. I am actually pretty surprised about how little controversy it has stirred up. I am sure people will start voicing their opinions closer to release time.

If you still haven’t seen the trailer, check it out here.
