Pepsi changed it’s name to Pecsi in Argentina, because it seems Argentineans can’t say Pepsi (from here). That is fine and all, but all I can think about is a bunch of Argentineans trying to drink this:

If it wasn’t for Craigslist, how would we know such awesome people like this existed:

Fried Chicken is more awesome when you’re pissy – m4ww – 27 (Costa Mesa)

Date: 2009-11-11, 11:16AM PST

I enjoy eating fried/fatty/bad foods. Lately, through conversations with people of the female variety, I have come to discover that many women also enjoy eating the same type of foods when they are on their periods.

Here’s what I am looking for: Four female friends (maybe five depending on how long the menstrual cycle lasts) to eat lunch/dinner with. Your cycles should all be offset, although I will allow a little bit of overlap. The applicants must not be friends nor live together, otherwise there is a possibility of the menstrual cycles synching up, thus ruining my plan and costing me a meal buddy for a period.

Foods I enjoy: Fried Chicken (Popeye’s over KFC, but it’s all good), Chili and Chili on stuff (Tommy’s is awesome), Breakfast at all times of the day, Gravy, Carne Asada Fries (French fries covered in guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and carne asada), Chimichangas, and practically anything else that people claim could cause heart attacks or strokes.

About myself: Contrary to what you would think, I am not overweight. 5’6 and around 130lbs. I eat constantly and I’m convince I have a tape worm. His name is George.

Applicants: A little bio would be nice, but I definitely need to know what time of the month you usually have your menstrual cycle, and list the types of foods you usually have cravings for.

I kinda got bored with the way AwwDip was looking, so I found another wordpress theme that I liked. Things are a little borked right now (especially the youtube embeds and photos), but I will get it all worked out.

If any of you readers out there would like to see something specific, please let me know in the comments. Since I am making changes, this is the time to speak up.

New hotness

Look above this post on the home page (http://www.awwdip.com). See that banner thing saying you can vote to have Weezer come to UC. Go ahead and do that please. Thanks.

Do me a solid

I finally got to see the greatness that is the Miley Cyrus rap on why she left Twitter, and I think Google/YouTube knows the type of people that are really (and I mean really) in to Miley.miley

YouTube is trying to tell us something

Three Thoughts on Twitter

I made a post about In Bb 2.0 two days ago (after it had been sitting as a draft for a long while) at 9am (ish).

Going through my RSS feeds, Motionographer posted the same site yesterday around 4pm (ish – according to gReader).

Sometimes I wonder if I am being talked on the interwebnets.

Sometimes coincidences is weird.

It seems like everything is coming up Milhouse! I found a neat interactive youtube piece the other day, and loved it. I thought it was a really interesting way to use video as an interactive user experience. Today I run across In Bb 2.0.

From http://www.core77.com/blog/videos/in_b_flat_a_youtube_digital_orchestra_14529.asp

In Bb 2.0 is a collaborative music and spoken word project conceived by Darren Solomon from Science for Girls, and developed with contributions from users.

The videos can be played simultaneously — the soundtracks will work together, and the mix can be adjusted with the individual volume sliders.

It is a neat composition, but I wish there was a little more meat to it. The whole sound is rather ambient, which is most likely why it can work for anyone, regardless of when they start playing the clips. Maybe with some scripting you could have one that was more structured, and it would only allow clips to start on proper down beats.

Please enjoy this video while I enjoy my 3-night Disney cruise.

(Yes, it was a hack move, but I never promised I would deliver quality.)

I’m on a boat!

If it wasn’t enough for the group to think it was a good idea to do the music for the (now defunct) Spiderman Musical, look at this horrible photo that was pulled via last.FM

Stupid bag of douche

And if you still haven’t been hit with the douche chills, watch this interview, which I first saw on Topless Robot:
