Digg: What I Learned

Today, the social news site Digg was down for quite some time. Without something to distract me from everyday work all was almost lost... if not for some alternativewebsite suggestions by Digg staff members. These suggestions were pretty straight forward, featuring great time killers like xkcd and Atom Films. Others, however, were able to shine a light on the inside of Kevin Rose's fellow employees...

Megacon 2008 Report

So I went to Megacon this year for three days of fun and excitement. Though not all was fun and excitement. Now, I've been to different sorts of conventions before. Some were huge (Otakon), and some were small (MTAC). With that said, my impression of Megacon was more of a middle-con. It took place it a fairly big size area convention center, and housed a large populace, especially on Saturday. The dealers room was actually pretty massive though, but as far as events went, I found myself bored more often than not. Hell, I left at six o'clock...on a SATURDAY. Isn't Saturday night when everything cool is supposed to happen? On Friday we got there at 11-ish, and we were in what was thought to be the second panel of the day, but in reality no panels actually happened until 1pm? What a joke. I'm not trying to convey that I didn't have fun.

Big! Big! Big O!

Who doesn't love The Big O? I mean, besides Mike Lazzo and Kim Manning of Adult Swim. No, they prefer Tim and Eric's "humor" abortions and stoner cartoons. Did the show need a third season? I think a small OVA would suit it, or a movie, to clear up some of the unsolved mysteries and strange events that seemed to go unexplained or even all that hinted toward explanation. However, I think many of the answers you might be looking for are already in the show, if youre paying attention. I just recently watched it for the sixth or seventh time, and I finally have a good working theory as to what occured, and evidence to support it. I may just present my argument here.

Gentlemen.

How are you gentlemen?

Gentlemen, I like Pokémon.
Gentlemen, I like Pokémon.

Gentlemen, I love Pokémon.

I like Turtwig.
I liek Mudkips (who doesn't?).
I like aggresive Pokémon.
I like defensive Pokémon.

In fields, on bicycle roads, in caves, on tundra, in desert, on sea, in sky, in mud, in abandoned power plants.

I like single battles, I like earning money. I like withdrawing, I like changing up. I like running away from wild Pokémon too strong for my newbies. I love every aspect of Pokémon, save for the cartoon past the first season, or the puzzle games.

I like blowing away the Bug-Types with Thunder.

When an enemy loses all his HP, my heart dances.

I like crushing the enemy Pokémon with the Blastoise saved in my Silver game.

When I mowed down the Elite Four, who fled screaming from their headquarters, with a team of level 100 Pokémon, my heart leapt.

ApctConnect is a tad Ridiculous

The other day I found a little notice stuff in my apartment door. It was information to sign up with AptConnect.com. A website that apparently serves as a fun little online social community when a real life community is too lazy to communicate between their apartment door and car. Okay, no, I don't know anyone who lives here. Irregardless, AptConnect wanted to get to know me. Nothing wrong with that in theory... well let's just say that their survey process needs a bit of work... If you have interested, check here. If not, select the things you're not interested in below. Money & Investing, interest. Networking, interest. Electronics, interest. Sedans? Non-interest.
I love playing X Games!
