Directed by Ben Stiller, starring Jack Black and Owen Wilson, I give you the unaired pilot episode of "Heat Vision and Jack".

Aperantly this boy can "see" using sound. Cool, eh?

The Boy Who Sees with Sound

I thought this was pretty funny.

I thought this to be an interesting article about a man who was falsely accused of child abuse.

They called me a child pornographer

This video is about the WTC collapse being set up. I can't say I believe it, but I can't deny how convincing it sounds. It's interesting, at any rate.

Check out this article. A man found a hardware keylogger in his laptop, and upon inquiring to the police, he was told to speak with the Department of Homeland Security. Scary.

Look what I made! link

So I was at Mike's blog today, and I noticed an odd Icon. When I clicked on it, the site's style went nuts. For a joyous moment I though that Xanga had been creatively hacked. But alas, it was just an add for Sprite.

Ok, so I guess I won't leave xanga. It just bothers me that if I want my site to be anything especially different from default, I have to waste my time hacking the damn thing. Oh well.

In other news: Web 2.0. Maybe some of you haven't heard this term yet. The idea is that applications will soon be moving online, so that we can have our full programs from any Internet enabled terminal. Google is a good example of this: Google Reader, Google Calendar, Gmail, and Google Spreadsheets are all prime examples. But there is talking of applications like Microsoft Office moving in this direction too. Places like YouTube and MySpace are often credited as Web 2.0 as well, but in a different way.

The expected climax of this, of course, is the online desktop. It's been rumored that Google is working on such a thing, but until now, it has all been theoretical. However, YouOS has just surfaced. If you are at all interested in this, go to their website and click on the demo link. It's an online desktop.

Don't get me wrong, it's far from perfect: but it shows that it can be done. A similar thing done be a better company (like Google) could be great. It excites me, anyway.

I'm curious, would any of you keep reading this is I started using a different blog service? I'm thinking of switching to Blogger.
It's Google's blog service, and I find that it's much better in
general. My question is, would I lose readers because I wasn't still on
xanga? Would you guys bother to read it if it didn't just show up in
your subscriptions?

Trust me, you could feel way more Web 2.0 if you used an RSS feed to get your subscriptions. So what do you think?

Edit:
Ok, let me explain a good option for you all. RSS, or XML feeds.
Almost any blog-type website offers a feed. If you see this image:

In Firefox, often the icon will be to the left in your address bar.
You can subscribe to a website with this icon, and get them to all go
to the same place. This place, is your aggregator. Personally, I use Google Reader.
It lets you feed any number of websites into the same place. This way
you can quickly and easily check them all. I use my feed reader to
check xangas. Every xanga has a feed, even if you don't know about it.
It's just xanga.com/USERNAME/rss. It's as easy as that. this is a good way to check sites that you may not remember to check otherwise.
