As we gear up for the 4th season of Mad Men on AMC let’s revisit the previous 3 seasons through an illustrated flicker album by the truly artistic and comedic Dyna Moe. Check out her website no body’s sweetheart (you’re our sweetheart, love) and check out her Flicker Mad Men Illustrated photo-stream.
It was a humid day and took 4 hours of waiting in line, but it was worth it! The time went by very quickly as I got to catch up on life with Valiant (his pic here), and when we finally got to meet Olivia, she was very pleasant and talkative with all the people that came out to see her, very cool indeed 
I’d love to tell a story about how I woo’ed her with my electrifying personality and that we cut a deal right on the spot to have Olivia endorse Local Wisdom by allowing us to redesign her website, but then I’d be lying. I was really more of a deer caught in headlights as I didn’t really think ahead of time of what I wanted to say to her. Overall she was really cool, spent more time with each fan then you’d think. You could tell that she’s had a long day, or “a long year” as she said when I asked her about her day, but she’s really appreciates all her fans who helped make the book deal possible.
If you’d like to see if she’s coming to your city check out her schedule here. I would suggest going to the signing if you are a fan. As far as the book itself, I haven’t had time to read much of it yet, but I’m making time this week to read it instead of watching some of my nightly DVR shows I’ll post a review after I’m done.
Hopefully Olivia or her people will read this post and contact Local Wisdom to design her website and bring the Dynamic Duo of Olivia Munn and Big Latin AKA “Mike” together again!
During a recent password audit, it was found that a
blonde was using the following password:
“MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento”
When asked why she had such a long password, she said
she was told that it had to be at least 8 characters
long and include at least one capital.
Couldn’t believe when Derrick told me about this, and can’t wait!!!! Hey Shawn, quick game of escort, 1 on 1???
A while back I put together a media storage unit and posted about it. I was asked by one of our readers to post the instructions/ blueprints so they could build their own also. Well, what the audience wants, the audience gets, so here they are.
I’ve put the details in the images themselves to make it easy to print out. Also I recently made 2 of these of a different width and a different purpose. One was 30 inches wide so the shelving and corresponding silts had to be reduced in width also, but it’s easy to figure out how much to shorten them by. The last unit I made has about 7 shelves and was made to replace a stereo rack. Now the stereo is on the wall with all it’s cd’s, a record player and a small top shelf for pictures, but I’ll post pics later on.
If you have any questions, post a comment and I’ll respond asap
This is one of the cooler things ive come across lately. Now you can transform any site into a geocities site with the Geocities-izer. It even adds glorious MIDI music. Flaming torch gifs, nebulas, Im starting to feel sweaty. Im going to lay down .
Enjoy the catastrophes you create here…The Geocities-izer

Although this 3+ minute trailer for Stallone’s new action pack movie the “Expendables” looks like an amalgamation of cut scenes from all my (and probably yours too) favorite action hero movies from the late 80 and early 90s, I most definitely, will be in the theater to watch. And I’ll probably go during opening weekend with a tub of popcorn, sitting in most middlest seat in the theater. C’mon you gotta admit seeing Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Arnold the Governator, and a myriad of other action stars all in one movie sounds pretty darn awesome. And no, I have no expectations of Oscar winning performances. What I do expect is a shoot-em-up, explosive, catch phrased filled, movie-testerone-stravaganza. Enjoy the trailer!!!
There were no kicks or punches thrown between the two heavyweights just a whole lot of user traffic. And the most visited website on the Internet goes to (drum roll please……) the Social Networking GIANT by the name of Facebook. You might have heard of it.
Today Facebook pushed passed Google to be the number visited website in the Internet. I know that I helped Facebook reach this lofty goal and honestly it just makes sense. I mean Google.com is cool with its one text field and “I’m feeling lucky” button. But for the past 6 months my order of internet operations when I want to veg, find news, or just distract my mind a bit, has been facebook.com, mediatakeout.com, slickdeals.net and then Gmail.com (sorry Buzz you have not won me over).
I can always count on my Facebook friends to share the latest weather report, news headlines, funny videos, and updates on their lives. So I completely understand why Facebook is now number one. Furthermore, I believe tomorrow’s internet user’s patience will become even shorter (if that’s possible). The quickest way I can get my information in short blurbs…with videos and links to reference, if I want, the better. BUT there is only one caveat. After I get updated on the thunderstorm that caused the power outage at Mike’s house, I can briefly look through my friends latest albums, scan status updates to found out who is bored, happy, or mad, and when I am done with that I can play the ridiculously popular game (trust me I don’t play but my wife is addicted) Farmville…all with in a 3 minute time frame.
Have to admit, seeing this technology focused commercials gives me the goose bumps. Saw this today on Hulu, we fortunate enough to find on youtube, tell me what you think?
