Flounderhog is... Popular?

50% of the hits in the last month were for that picutre of a flounderhog.

And I don't know if that's a bad thing or a good thing.

Flounderhog



So I took a picture of a Flounderhog.

Doesn't it look ferocious?

Join the Flounderhog Protection Agency (FPA) today!

Subscribing to magazines; the issues of tomorrow, today!

Format War Over; Connor Wins

It seems that the HD DVD versus Bluray feud is over.

Which is very bad news for early adopters who banked on Microsoft and HD DVD. But good news for me, because I didn't care enough to take an interest in either one.

So once again, apathy wins the day.

Even though Star War Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) told me that "apathy is death." I sure hope you didn't invest in HD DVD, KOTOR.

My Abscence

If you've been wondering why I've been gone, then the thing I'm going to blame today are AP tests.

They'll be over within two weeks. When that happens, I'll be free.

Perhaps free enough to do some posts.

Things Come Full Circle

So at first in life, I guess I wanted to be a writer.

Apparently they make moleskin notebooks for that. Moleskin notebooks are high quality notebooks.

Then, assuming I follow my current patterns, I might become a musician instead.

They make moleskin notebooks for that, too.

I guess stuff you learn for one hobby never really escapes you, eh?

Attention Shoplifters; This Will Not Work

As this article tells, switching barcodes on things will not work.

At first, it seems like it's a smart idea right off.

But then you realize the guy switched it out for a water bottle UPC. I mean, come on. A plasma TV for less than 5 bucks?

Just Order Water at Restaurants

As this article points out, it's cool and smart to just order water at restaurants.

I want it to go down on the record that I've been drinking water at restaurants for quite some time now.

I find that soda is just not worth the feeling that your teeth are unclean. Also, cold water is a lot more refreshing than soda could ever be.

Add to that that water is a lot healthier for you, and you've got it made.

So, just remember, just water.

What Really Gets Me

You know what gets me? You know what really gets me?

I'm just a number in someone's life.

Okay, so I've been on Digg stack today. It gives you the news stories on Digg and vaguely tells you who dugg them.

And you know? To someone else, I'm just one of those little tells. Just think, to someone, I'm just another number.

That's what really gets me.

Facebook; Massive Servers Powering It

So we've all been exposed to the wonder that is Facebook.

But who thinks about what powers Facebook? It takes a whole lot of computer to keep it running, this article says.

Man, it always impresses me to think about the sheer scale of things. Heck, even a terabyte impresses upon me. No matter how hard I've tried or how much stuff I've made, I still don't think I've ever used up a terabyte of data.

Maybe if you took just the originals of my comedy show, but still, even then, not nearly as much as you'd expect it.

But just think, someday they'll unveil the next one higher for sale. And that will be one heck of a day.

So thank you Facebook, with all your servers humming and purring. Thank you for the time on Facebook and for my awe of your scale.

Google "Connor Smith" Update

Well, it seems I have a new competitor for my name in google searches.

Apparently Tom Cruise has a son. And his name is Connor. And he's acting with Will Smith.

Thankfully, an episode of my show is just hanging on near the bottom of the front page. And with the recent... popularity of it, then I think we're cooking with some fire.

So, until next time, keep googling me.

Command to Dispatch; UK Resistance is Down

Says the mostly blank error page, "Service Unavailable."

Because apparently UK Resistance is a service.

Pushing Daisies - A Second Season?

This is something I'd been wondering about for a while now, and I now looking into it;

Will Pushing Daisies be getting a second season?

Well, according to rumor (The Pushing Daisies Wiki, which is totally not biased in any way) says there will be a second season.

That's pretty good, as it's a good show.

While not exactly something to brag about, especially due to the influx of videos from my comedy show, it's still a milestone.
