Let's do it! I vote 2013 (13 is a way cooler number than 15) I just gotta make sure my life is "streamlined" as you say, lol. Giddy up! :)

Re: Twitter Desktop Applications

@marksnet — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:10:53 -0000

i want an app that is like seesmic or tweetdeck that does what it currently does but has my followers list and follow list as well as an organizer that shows me who leaves history. I would also like to have the list that organizes so that I can tell who is following me that i do not follow and visaversa. I do not like multiple apps on my desktop. Is this too hard?

Thanks Thina!

I'm constantly evolving my craft, and wedding photography was a new challenge for me, so I just wanted to make sure I was prepared.

The day went splendid, and I got some beautiful photographs.

Hehe. Eventually it will be an unconscious thing; you'll have a hard time not sharing optimism with the world.

I don't recall seeing much swearing on your Twitter account. That said, I know lots of people that don't swear on Twitter, but have potty mouths in real life.

Swearing isn't all bad though. Here's my discussion on swearing: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/850

Eep I'll have to cut back on my swearing (I don't think it's bad but still). I'll also have to make a conscious effort to be more giddy on a daily basis

:-)

Re: Why I wouldn’t use a Dating Service

datingservices — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 11:21:52 -0000

Online dating sites might provide access to lots of people but who has the time to use them! I joined an online site and found that everytime I logged on I was swamped with messages- most from complete idiots only after one thing! By the time I had sifted through them all I couldnt be bothered to contact the ones that seemed to be genuinely looking for a relationship.

I also dabble in some electronica. Sneaky Sound System (@snkysndsystm | Amazon MP3 | iTunes) are especially good at this!

I'm definitely not restricting it to Australia. I hate it when other countries (namely the USA) bar anyone outside from accessing giddy fun.

I just figure that if I'm organising this, then it should probably be in the country I'm in right now. I won't be in the USA until 2010.

I agree with Mitch. Not in Austrafail.

Canada would/could be fun...

Also, bears! That means Pasquale is definitely IN.

Let's make this... not in Australia, and I'm IN.

Well, I've seen Justine design some cool things back in the day.

The Dalai Lama is famous in my mind. He is giddy!

Re: Hottest Geek Girls

darkmotion — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 04:03:32 -0000

Justine is not a designer :/.

What ticks me off are girls who say they are HOT GEEKS just because they are female & aware of the internet. They don't even contribute to the technological world, but are famous for some reason.

People moving the world forward need the famous cup.

I know I am late to leave a comment for you here. But I would just like to say that transparency is what makes today's market so different from what it was. This is a whole new level that we are on now and it is in most part because of social media.

Re: I’m Sorry, It’s not my Birthday

djsteen — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 05:17:34 -0000

That's a good point, Elaine! I understand what you mean, and I do have my real birth date on some websites, just not on most social media networks.

Re: Flip Mino HD or Something Else?

Sean Lind — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 19:09:26 -0000

I agree the Mino isn't the best cam out there, but for its price and size I really love it. It doesn't handle fast light changes or bright backlight so well, but I never expected it would. I just recorded some videos for work with mine, and it looks crispy enough.

[link redacted (reason: irrelevant content)]

Obviously a high-end pro camera will always be better, but to carry in your pocket this really can't be beat. Good for blogging vids, rather than true video production.

I'll be recording a concert on Saturday, I'll see how that goes.

I get your point about birth dates! However, you must know that I work in a hospital blood bank. The one factor that is constant, and how I look up a patient's previous blood bank history is by birth-date. Because I have a lot of medical, laboratory experience, I always check at least three other places before I permanently enter "No Previous Record Found," when I am testing for blood typing, antibody screening or crossmatching blood. In other words, it is acceptable to modify your birth-date in certain places on the internet, but when it comes to serious issues - stick with the "God given one," it may save YOUR life!

Re: Is @SamHoustonApts Listening?

twitter-41989352 — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 11:16:39 -0000

If this is an example of the "Official Sam Houston Apts." then they must be collecting a lot of money from students who do not know where/what they are moving into. I really doubt that most young people are not concerned with the future of the environment. Students may not even realize until after they move in, NO recycling exists there, and they are forced to place all their trash into a nasty, over-flowing dumpster. I am sure there is a Recycling Center nearby & Huntsville could benefit from the revenue generated from the tenants. Stay tuned for more examples of ways the Arbors Apartments should be making improvements to become a more respected, social gathering place!

Re: Fueling the (MTV) Machine

Movie piracy is also a similar issue, most movies are released in the USA before Australia, plus the release of the movie on DVD (etc...). I beleive that there would be a drastic decrease in movie piracy if everything was distributed at the same date and time worldwide.

I also think that content like TV shows should be licensed worldwide, not just in selected countries.
