A world of interest…

Well last week or so has been interesting. Lets look at the rundown here:

1. Went to the Las Palmas in Hollywood for the first time ever. Met up with some really nice ladies there from Friendster, Tina and Christina for Christina’s 28th bday. Took some photos of the club and the ensuing fun.

2. Saw Mei a.k.a Lux and that was a nice 2 hour conversation with her. I miss having chats like that, never enough time for them or people never have the attention span or interest to listen to me it seems.

3. Wisdom teeth are almost completely healed, hardly even hurts. Last of the stitches finally came out. Annoying lil buggers.

4. I find the things that pop up in my IM windows at random times wonderful and frightful and delightful all at the same time. For example, this is just a small sampling of todays take:

a. Freakish German hand shadow puppet sex acts: http://www.manzonderkop.be/Post/?P_ID=651
“What the hell is wrong with German people?” (Disclosure: I’m part German)

b. A lovely Sluggy Freelance comic about Telemarketers: http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=031014

c. I find out someone thinks I am attractive: http://www.livejournal.com/users/mountain_spirit/76170.html
“i think Dan is physically attractive. i would enjoy getting to know him better, as a friend or if he passes the test, more .”

d. I do my part to show friends hilarious Arnold Schwarzenegger Japanese TV ads:

5. Found out that Friendster is great….which of course means the damn website now acts all whacked up, messed up, and generally massively delayed and working in a barely functional way. My Friendster profile is here:

However the Emperor has New Clothes! It is called MySpace and its just like Friendster except that it WORKS and its fast:

About the Author

Daniel Spisak was born from the fiery depths of fusion and now roams the pale blue dot known as Earth. I obtained my bachelors degree in Computer Science from UC Irvine at the end of 2007.

I am also involved in technology & security consulting firms as well as being a freelance technology writer. I also contribute to Jerry Pournelle's website and Chaos Manor Reviews. Additionally I am also a freelance photographer as well and you can find my photos either on my own personal gallery or up at my Flickr account or on Zivity.

This blog is one of the main locations where I do my writing, which is then automatically sent to my LiveJournal, VOX, and MySpace accounts. I can also be found on a variety of social networking and microblogging sites like Pownce, Twitter, Brightkite, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

If your viewing this site with Internet Explorer it may not look correct because IE is horrible about following W3C web standards properly or consistently. I suggest you try browsing the Internet with Firefox. It is much better and not as vulnerable to security flaws as IE can be.
