First things first. There are important lessons I learned today:
1. There are better ways of checking if pasta is done than throwing it up at the ceiling and seeing if it sticks.
2. Do not walk around the apartment with a fork in your mouth. It can hurt.
3. Do not eat ice cream while on the phone because it can get all over your shirt and its not funny.
4. Using an old toothbrush to clean your keyboard is awesome!
5. Duffman rules!!!
Okay back to ranting...
So I often link to the NY Times and they require you to register before you can look at stories which is annoying. So have have a look at this web page which will take care of your NY Times registration woes.
A couple of days ago I was ranting about how there was chaos in the nutritional world because theres evidence that just low fat wasn't good enough. However this research bellows that a balanced diet thats either very low in or one that entirely eliminates animal products is the best way to go. This diet believes in the love of complex carbos and plant life. Oh yea if you're like me then you like to chow down at restaurants. Have a gander at this here article. That bit on Mexican food scares me.
Hey today I came across this car that I want a lot!
Two articles I want to address today. Number one. Number two.
Content (news, entertainment, music, etc.) providers are just going crazy over how to increase revenue. I think there is only so many adverts, especially popup style, people will tolerate...or so I think. Because you have to keep in mind that overall the American population has a staggering capability to be complacent and just bend over and keep 'em spread. With TV though, I don't know. If this plan is actually implemented I may actually just stop watching TV. Obviously theres no easy way to block an ad thats superimposed over the regular programming but the annoying factor is pretty high. Its rather clear that the public really dislikes popups but is too complacent to do anything about it so why not just keep shoving popups and adverts down eyeballs for as long as it can be gotten away with rather than try to figure out innovative ways to advertise instead. However the bottomline is that we the people are people, we are not consumers to be used. I speak for myself. You need to decide if you're a person or a consumer.
For those of you sick of online ads and pop up I would like you to introduce my pal Mozilla. With Mozilla regular ad blocking is very simple. 95% of the ads and 99.999% of the pop-ups non Mozilla users are accustomed to, a Mozilla user never sees. Example: Bloomberb.com with IE (popup advert not shown). Bloomberb.com with Mozilla. Also the Mozilla team is working on blocking Flash ads so that percentage should go up to around 99% of ads totally blocked.
I like crusing the web as a human being.
P.S. I love New York.
