Boing Boing: Walt Disney’s 1956 time-capsule letter to the future

Walt was right about some predictions on human nature, but exactly on the ball with all the technology calls.

Not bad for trying to predict 50 years into the future? How well could any of us do?

I wouldn’t have predicted where I’d be 10 years earlier, much less where we all would be.

Grass stains await you!

Props to my friend Jean for pointing me to the store.

Happy April Fool’s Day!

Just what is a fool? I think one of the most memorable times when a person remembers feeling foolish is when it’s related to the big L word, Love. Apparently, Google does too: Google Romance

Another fool? Well there were professional ones as well:

Jester Baseball Jersey

What is it about being a fool that makes a whole day named after it?

Personally I think it’s the laughter, not only of others but of yourself. You get a release from playing the fool or from realizing you were one and maybe even learning from it afterwards.

Whatever the reason, have a foolish day today!

So awhile back I opened an account on Squidoo. It’s a web 2.0 site which seeks to get as many folks as possible to create articles for them on whatever they’d like. These “articles” are in the form of webpages and ads are served on them. The nice part is that Squidoo shares the revenue with the author.

As a writer I find I already have enough places for my writing but as a business person I can see that gaining new “eyeballs” could be an advantage if the site gets big and any form of income which can keep giving is also intriguing.

If you’d like to sign up as well (it’s free) here’s my referral link.

Here’s a short video with a “the show must go on” kind of guy:

Did you notice the one frame ad at the end? Did you click on it?

Well that’s the model of this new video hosting site. They put a one frame ad at the end of a video and if someone clicks on it the ad revenue gets shared with the video creator, with Revver, and even with an affiliate who links to the video (me, in this case).

It could be a neat way to host viral videos whose popularity would normally cost you and arm leg in bandwidth costs if the link got passed around.

As you an see above, Revve offers you code to embed a player on your site, or it gives you a thumbnail or regular text link option.

The David Hasselhoff Compendium…UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

If this is under construction I don’t want to see it when it’s done, this is more than enough Hasselhoff for anyone… but it sure is funny

So do you know where your state is? Don’t worry no one will actually check your score, and it’s actually pretty fun.

You can also try Canada, Europe, South America and more.
