My Tweet Has Been Penis-ized!

Rosemary — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 20:26:03 +0000

I saw the notification in Twitteriffic and was outraged but thrilled but laughing at the same time.

The original tweet:

The result, from Twitter is Penis:

UPDATE:Â I wrote the kind people at Twitter Is Penis an email, and they even wrote back to me!

Thanks, Matt.

Rapist Alert

Watch out for this guy.

Venn has a history of breaking into residences to commit sexual offences against adult women, said Calgary police on Friday. He has been previously convicted for other break and enter charges as well as sexual assault.

The only way it would make sense for a high risk guy like this to be released is for his sentence to be fully served and something about the justice system putting faith in “reformed” individuals.Â Thanks to my brother for the link.

Free Magazines

Okay, so I still haven’t found a way to download these, but I’m convinced that magazines are just a medium upon which you can layer ads anyways.Â Thanks to @bluecifer for sharing the link to Mygazines.Â While it feels kind of wrong to read these without paying for it, I consider it the same as just standing in the grocery line and flipping through glossy pages of advertisments.

October 2008 edition of Oatmeal- I mean, Oxygen.

So far my favorite article is the one suggesting peanut butter in oatmeal.Â Okay so it’s prefaced with “you can even get crazy”, but who wants to be normal anyways.

So, it looks like you now have to sign up to view any magazine.

Twitter + Nintendo DS

It’s true!Â Your favorite handheld gaming system and social media application combined in DSTwitter (available for download!).Â Despite what the image shows, it is in English and you’re not obligated to have a chihuahua as an avatar.Â Glee!

I haven’t tried it out yet since I don’t have my USB SD reader, but soon.Â Thanks to my brothar for finding this, and @jonnay for downloading for me.

Timeline of Internet Memes

Rosemary — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 17:23:23 +0000

@dloo sent me this link to a timeline of internet memes via Twitter.Â I find this interesting since I love the changing landscape of internet and technology culture, and it also fills in the blanks for important memes I may have missed out on (hey, I was MUDding and chatting during my early days, then all-consumed by school afterwards).Â It’s fun to see that “Aeris Dies” is there, even though its source was Final Fantasy VII and not the internet.Â I guess it counts because I was one of the many people who searched (probably using Alta Vista or Dogpile) whether or not there was a way to revive her.

One thing I’d rather not see again is Hamster Dance.Â *shudder*

Fourteen Passive-Aggressive Appetizers

Taken from the New Yorker.Â Even better, this article is from THE FUTURE (check the timestamp of the article)!

3. Steal Cherylâ€™s famous potato-salad recipe. When Cheryl asks, â€œWhy did you steal my recipe?,â€ say, â€œI donâ€™t know, Cheryl, why did you break my heart?â€ Then laugh so she knows youâ€™re just kidding.

…

7. Have you ever noticed how sun-dried tomatoes and top-grade peyote look exactly the same? Not a suggestion, really. Just saying.
