Posted on July 18, 2010 by Lonny Paul

Reuters, one of the biggest news organizations in the world, has a major flaw on their website.  When watching a video, when you click their full screen icon, it instead pops up a new window, far less than full screen, … Continue reading →

Fourth of July UFO Visit – Nothing Major?

Posted on July 5, 2010 by Lonny Paul

There was plenty of speculation that the Earth would be visited by an alien craft (UFO) on July 4th this year, but I haven’t seen any “major” news report as of yet.  I did, however, dig into the MUFON database for reports of July 4th sightings and events, and found there are a ton of reports from the 4th which all have a common theme – glowing orange spheres (orbs) – all over the US!

Google News Undergoes Redesign leaves brains at home

Posted on July 3, 2010 by Lonny Paul

Google NewsI’ve used iGoogle for about 7 years after leaving myYahoo after iGoogle did it better. I’ve read via Google news and iGoogle – ALL of my news for seven (7) years. Google tracks everything. They know how many times I read each story in my predetermined News configuration. So when Google rolled out a news update, they have a convenient little bar that shows how your Google News Setup is progressing. Now, they want me to identify for them which news I read on a Never/Sometimes/Always basis. WTF, THEY ALREADY KNOW WHAT I READ!!!

This is a flaw. Google, I trust you to know what is best for me. You know what stories, genres, sites and headlines I like to read. You know what I click through to, what a read via FastFlip – can’t you customize my news for me after all this time? Continue reading →

The In Betweeners – a comedic relief – from the BBC

Posted on February 27, 2010 by Lonny Paul

British comedy can go either way – and this time it’s a pure win. The In Betweeners, a BBC production, is about a bunch of highschool kids who are not really nerds and not really popular, they are just kinda stuck somewhere in between. Tonight I just finished watching the final episode of the 1st season, and there was a line that was precious. It’s the end of the night, the prom is over, kids are slowly drifting out, a school administrator with little tolerance for petty children crap is standing back assessing the overall situation to which he says:

“Well done children, a fairly innocuous jamboree of adolescent nonsense. Fear not, the relationships that some of you have entered into tonight, well, they may seem like everything now, but they’ll be over in a matter of weeks. “

Google Eart as ArtGoogle Earth, well known as an incredible tool along with Google Maps (and on my Droid, Google Navigation) – but some people are taking it to a whole new level as art. The image shown here is a portion of an image which was originally a $1MM photograph by artist Andreas Gursky, yet re-created by Florian Freier using Google Earth, photoshop and an inkjet printer.

Gods Control Center – Early Morning Giz Chuckle

Posted on January 16, 2010 by Lonny Paul

Gods control panel – so simple yet refined – or is it? Shall we contemplate it’s simplicity? It’s lack of torture, grief and despair? Perhaps the lack of a “rapture” button and only one for the final countdown? gods_bttns.jpg
