the future in your eyes

February 22nd, 2012 . rwolfe

The future is HERE.  We’ll all be able to buy TERMINATOR glasses sometime in the next ten months.

 According to some solid rumors, Google is working on glasses that will stream real-time information about whatever you’re looking at, right in front of your eyes.  And they’ll go on sale before the end of the year. Like, if you’re looking at the Empire State Building, they’ll give you information about the building, local deals, whether you have friends nearby . . . stuff like that. It works through a combination of GPS, a wireless connection, and a small built-in camera that monitors everything you’re seeing in real-time.  And you can scroll and click by titling your head. 

They’ll cost about the same as a smartphone, and you’ll probably need to get a separate data plan for them.

New facebook rules

February 17th, 2012 . rwolfe

Facebook’s internal content guideline was leaked yesterday . . . that’s what they use to figure out which posts aren’t appropriate and should be deleted.  Here are the highlights of what they will and won’t censor.

 #1.)  Foreplay like kissing and GROPING will NOT be censored.  Even, quote, “for same-sex individuals.”  But actual sexual activity WILL be censored, obviously.

 #2.)  Photos that show a side-by-side comparison between a person and an animal WILL be censored.

 #3.)  Photoshopped images MIGHT be censored.  If the Photoshopping portrays the person in a negative light, the photo will be removed.  But if the Photoshopping portrays the person in a positive or neutral way, the photo can stay.

 #4.)  Images of drunk or unconscious people with stuff drawn on their face WILL be censored.  Which is a surprise, because I see these all the time.

 #5.)  Graphic photos of dead animals WILL be censored.  Unless the photos are in the context of food prep or, quote, “hunting as it occurs in nature,” like a lion eating a zebra or something.

 #6.)  Works of art showing nudity WILL NOT be censored.  But cartoon nudity will be removed.

 #7.)  Adult love toys MIGHT be censored.  If they’re in the context of sexual activity, they’re gone.  If you’re just, like, holding a vibrating toy, you’re clear.

 #8.)  Bodily fluids WILL NOT be censored.  Vomit, snot, earwax, and anything in the toilet are all probably clear.  But not if you post a photo of someone in the act of actually releasing bodily fluids.   

#9.)  Photos of poaching endangered animals WILL be censored, and will be reported.

Fatty sit… Fatty stay…

… its ok, I don’t think “Fattys” going anywhere, and thats the problem!

Do they make diet pills for dogs?

Or how about Gastric Bypass surgery for cats?

Just like their owners, pets across the country are getting fatter.

New data from the association for pet obesity prevention (yes there is such an organization) shows that over 50% of our countrys dogs and cats are over weight…. and 20% are obese.

Its an eerie combination of sad and cute. See…

4 REASONS NOT TO REGRET THAT EMBARRASSING TATTOO

February 15th, 2012 . kro

 

  • They keep you young: As long as you have tattoos, no matter how buttoned up you have become, you can always say, “I used to be a rock star.”
  • They can make you laugh: Keep a sense of humor about yourself always. Tattoos help you do that. You can’t take yourself too seriously with Wile E. Coyote on your forearm.
  • They help you bond: If someone else has a tattoo they also “regret,” you can commiserate and laugh about the follies of youth. Together.
  • Regrets are pointless: The fact is, life is short. “Permanence” is really impermanent and all kinds of other deep, deep stuff. Life moves fast and your tattoos mark a time when you had a different mindset. Embrace that. 

DON’T KNOW ABOUT THIS ONE? ..THEY MAY NEED TO RESORT TO LASER REMOVAL..THE ABOVE TIPS JUST DON’T QUITE CUT IT…LOL, KARA
