7654 – A straight!

Sandman the next Villain in the spidey movies? (researched due to this entry)

I’d still like to see Mysterio in a gimmicky 3-d movie for spidey’s third release.


Watched Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. Worked for me, but might not for most. I suspect that GrayP would find it entertaining, but I doubt eryx_uk or Danny could get into it.

I chased it with Gojira tai HedorĂ¢… I hadn’t seen it for a good 10 years, and I was overdue. I forgot all about the fish-headed folks and weirdo cartoons that are in this one. Mmm… Smog-monster-liscious. and Godzilla Flying under his own power. (2 meg mpg file) (thanks to badmovies.org)

Moment of Lyric: “Save the Earth” (from “Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster“)

Animals, God’s animals
Don’t go away, don’t go
Flowers, my flowers
Don’t go away, don’t go
The sea has cobalt, it’s full of mercury
Too many fumes in our oxygen
All the smog now is choking you and me
Good Lord, where is it gonna end?
Got to get it back, someday
Got to get it back, and soon now
For tomorrow maybe you and me
We’re movin’, we’re movin’, movin’ to the Moon now
It’s up to us to make a choice
We know what it’s worth to save the Earth
Come raise your voice
Save the Earth! (save the Earth)

7652 – nifty. very much a scotto-thing.

What is this?
It’s a map of 33,000 English nouns. Each tiny rectangle corresponds to a noun. The color of the rectangle has been assigned a color, based on an internet image search for that noun. The words are clustered so that similar words are near each other. You can move your mouse around the map to see what word a rectangle represents. You can also click and zoom in, to see individual clusters. The gallery page has many examples.

Can I pick a color and see what word it corresponds to?
Yes. Click on the “color” button. That will arrange the words by hue and brightness, forming a kind of color chooser. Move the mouse over the rectangles to see what words they correspond to.

Can I type a word and see what color it is?
Yes. Type the word into the “all starting with” text box. As you type, the map will narrow down to show all the words starting with the letters you’ve typed.

How exactly did you assign colors?
For each word, we performed a Yahoo image search and retrieved 50 image results. (If fewer than 50 images were found, we deemed the word too obscure and discarded it.) Then for each image we averaged the values of the pixels in the middle and then averaged those 50 results. We brightened the colors slightly for display.

Check it out!

Poor Spidey… Sandblast-enema?

Also note that Sandman suffers from Harry Osborne Hair and Electro’s Fashion sense. poor guy.

I always thought Sandman was more spiffy as a sort of Neutral guy, not really a hero or a villain.

I imagine Spidey probably was looking for Hydroman to use as a bidet after that.

CHAFE!

7649 –

Lisa^2 are in New Orleans, and gave me a ring a ding ding from party central. They offered to pick up some stuff for me at the local hoodoo stops, but I’m set for my chicken feet and tomb dust for the time being.

It sounds like they’re having a grand time, and I wish I could be along for the ride.


I don’t think I’ll see a long-term Moonbase / Manned Mars mission in my lifetime, and that’s ok with me.


Flash Earth (uses google and MSn Earth API in a speedy interface) (starting from my house)

part of Neave.com’s project list


Ed Wood would direct my life? That’s flattering and disturbing. On a budget.

Hm, no payment on my ad-links for the last month… I suppose I’ll take ’em down if I don’t see anything by the first week of September.


Heard from Magda last night and it was quite nice… but all too brief. She’s going to Costa Rica for a week or two, and then back to Colombia, and then back to Fort Lauderdale.


A pretty funny trailer for a hillbilly Kung-Fu zombie movie which does not yet exist, presumably only because Billy Bob Thorton has yet to get wind of it.

Abednego

Meaning: servant of Nego = Nebo.

This was the Chaldee name given to Azariah, one of Daniel’s three companions (Dan. 2:49). With Shadrach and Meshach, he was delivered from the burning fiery furnace (3:12-30).

Looked it up, after hearing a man name his dog that. Pretty nifty name.

7643 – Monday. Dag-nabbit. Noisy post.

Greasemap is a “user script” for Greasemonkey, which is a plugin framework for Firefox. It augments any web page you visit by searching the page for geocodeable addresses or other geotags. If it finds any, it automatically shows all such locations on a Google Map which is injected into the page you are viewing, within an iframe from Vinq.com. (thanks to chris::wired for the tidbit!)

Works great with my journal page.


Ducktales song in another language sounds more like anti-circumcision propaganda and other lechery. ( http://uncutohh.ytmnd.com/ )

embedded audio works best in msie (mp3 to play with the pic, if embedded sound doesn’t work)


Added “Briefcase full of Blues” to my mp3 player. The late 1970s going on 1985. Hard to believe there’s a 25th anniversary dvd of the movie coming out this month.

Saw a Goth girl in some kind of secret ID, bright yellow sundress. Stark contrast against blacker-than-black hair and heavy eyeliner. Still, quite a cutie.


This country needs more cowbell. Walken 2008.


Heard from lisa^2 in Texas on while on walkabout downtown. they sound very rambunctious, and fun on the road.


I totally agree with Dane Cook about people wearing t-shirts with the Superman emblem.

7639 – Thank you, Lisa2!! (Electric Boogaloo)

Lisa2, (or Weez & Sedef) sent me a lovely strawberry shortcake glitter night light (red, of course, with strawberry shaped foil bits to spin around). It’s awesome, and matches my blue glitter lava lamp perfectly. Hmm, I guess in proper sense, it would be 2(Lisa)?

It totally made my day, and I was needing a pick-me-up! In the dark, it sends off a very warm glow, compared to the cool light of the blue, too.

Thank you so much!! (Pink in honor of you both, and Strawberry Shortcake.)

I still think Holly Hobbie could totally take Miss Shortcake in a fight, but SS does have a nice scent about her.


2784 is my new score at that rotating snake game thingum. I may steal it to host in the toybox.
