Having trouble remembering the new website's address at smarmycarny.com?
Just try this address, then:
http://south.key.fish.find.mysteryrobot.com
Hope that helps! But then, you'll just forget who told you, anyway.
For more information on how this works, check out Nambers.
Using the Spell with flickr page, I created a new "banner" for the site. Unfortunately, it's far too ugly to use on the page header, but neat enough to write a post about. Pretty nifty, eh?
Merry Christmas!
Well, a bit over a week ago, I finally received credit for my fifth referral! I immediately submitted my application for approval.
Within the allotted timeframe, my referrals were approved, and I placed my order on the evening of September 6. I ordered the 20GB Color iPod, which includes a 2 inch color LCD screen, earbud headphones, AC adapter, and a USB 2.0 cable. Of course, it is podcast ready, can hold about 5,000 songs, and can last up to 15 hours for music playback or 5 hours of slideshows with music.
Once I placed my order, it currently went to a "Processing" status and will likely stay there for a couple weeks. Hey, for a free iPod, I'm willing to wait!
If you are interested in getting your free iPod, check out my article titled "Are Free iPods a Scam or Not?" Cheers!
In the wake of hurricane Katrina, Google Maps now has satellite imagery of New Orleans on August 31 at 10am.
I wonder if they will be releasing additional satellite imagery in the near future.
Somehow I was surfing a French blog a few months ago and I discovered a link to the FaceAnalyzer. The concept is fairly basic: You upload a picture of yourself, and the site analyzes it and immediately returns ratings for various traits, such as Intelligence, Sociability, and even Gay Factor.
The site also matches you up with a celebrity. I was matched with Vince Vaughn, which is a decent match, I suppose.
The results are displayed here, as well as on my newly launched page titled "My Personality Page." There, I have plenty of information about myself, all via sites like this. Check it out for more info.

Chris Jordan's "Intolerable Beauty — Portraits of American Mass Consumption" simultaneously shows us both the horror and the beauty of mass consumption. As in "Pallets #2" above, you can see the large amount of waste that goes on in our country, but you can also see the beauty created by it. The thumbnail above really doesn't do the picture justice because it is cropped and resized. You need to head to chrisjordan.com to see the full picture!
Don't stop with this photo, though. Be sure to check out the rest of his work at chrisjordan.com . . . just click on "images" to see the rest.
I StumbledUpon this site a while back and just had to bookmark it and share it. Just this week (July 24), his art was featured on the front page of The New York Times' Art section. The article was titled "A Great Big Beautiful Pile of Junk."
This goes far beyond picture-in-picture and split-screen!
Sharp has developed a new LCD television that can "simultaneously display different information and image content in right and left views in a single unit." In other words, if you want to watch hockey and your buddy wants to watch figure skating, you sit to the left of the television, and s/he sits on the right side of the television. You're both watching the same television, but you see completely different programs.
Controlling the viewing angle . . . allows the information or visual content to be tailored to multiple users viewing the same screen. For example, one user can view the display as a PC screen for browsing the Internet or for editing video shot using a digital camera (IT) while at the same time another user watches video content such as a movie or a TV broadcast (A/V). This ability to enjoy two functions in a single unit in full-screen size will contribute to achieving a full-fledged convergence of digital home electronics A/V and IT.
According to Sharp's press release, mass production begins this month! Have you pre-ordered yours yet?
Now, instead of fighting over what you watch, you get to fight over who hears their show!
