Surfing The Web So You Don't Have To
Oh that’s right…I was a journalism major, not a CompSci major (I was a lowly CIT Minor).
These guys managed to create a pretty cool interactive foosball table, which keeps track of scores, users, stats, etc.., and it all cost less than $50 to build. Reminds me of the Harvard guys who built a web-accessible dartboard.
A friend sent me to How Many Would it Take.com
It’s similar to hotornot.com except you vote on how many beers it would take until you’d sleep with the person pictured.
Men…read the instructions. I’m seeing perfect 10 babes with a rating of 21.9 beers.
It’s how many beers you would need, not how many she’d need to jump your bones.
We all know men aren’t that picky!
Case in point: Would any of you men REALLY need to drink for this woman to be pokeable?
If you’re trying to convince your significant other to get breast-implants, just tell her it could save her life.
Just a public service announcement: If you see these celebrities on the street, don’t mess with ’em, the cranky ol’ fruit-cakes.
OK, I kid you not. This guy’s name is Jack Ass and he’s suing Viacom for defamation of character for their MTV show, Jackass. Sadly, this guy had his named changed to Jack Ass. Man, he certainly fits his name. Here is the Full Story from Reuters, and full court filings so you know I’m not making this up.
There are a pile of various Internet connection speed tests out there, but I’m kind of interested in this one. The reason being that is doesn’t just check your data going to its server, the measurement simulates normal surfing behaviour by fetching images from a set of 40 popular websites. In other worlds, you’re getting more accurate, realistic results. According to a quick test here at work, I’m running at 320kbs (that’s kilo-BITS, remember) which is about right because we’re on a 512kbs DSL line here.
