I invested quite a bit of time trying to find a disparaging Yahoo ID username that communicated my highly nuanced feelings about needing yet another email address and ID to use flickr. It turns out Yahoo has some pretty sophisticated detection methods. The upshot of which is that I now have a Yahoo ID/Flickr account with a lost username/password/email address that I can’t get into. So I won’t be using Flickr.

Yahoo gets a lot of press within the Usability/UI world for the design pattern work and UI development. Sometimes business decisions override usability. In this case, the pain of a Yahoo ID does not outweigh the pain of not using Flickr. I hope someone takes this into consideration, but I’m not optimistic.

Exhaustive list:

That is all.

• Refried Beans with Peanut Butter
• Anything with a Cockroach
• Saturday with Monday
• Slippers with Cats
• Email with Shemale
• Coke with Jack and Coke

My brain never shuts up. No matter what I am doing, I am always doing something else too. Here is the latest fruit of that defect. I present the Comprehensive List of Humanity’s Good and Bad Ideas, 1st Edition. I may post revised editions in the future, but I don’t see many of these switching lists anytime soon, so changes would require Humanity come up with new, good ideas.

Humanity’s Good Ideas

• Crop Rotation & Small Scale Organic Farming
• Bread & Cheese, any combinations thereof
• Storytelling
• Shoes
• Music and Musical Instruments
• Hammocks
• Wine
• Clothing (admitted only begrudgingly)

Humanity’s Bad Ideas

• Everything not on the Good Idea list.

A few days ago I saw a dude in the “local” supermarket with crocs on. Orange crocs no less. And the thing about dudes wearing crocs is that dude crocs are huge even in normal sizes. Not huge like, “Whoa, this burger is huge!” No, huge like, “Everybody run it’s coming right for us!.”

So this chance encounter prompted the following tweet on The Twitter.

A few minutes later I received an email from The Twitter informing me that I had a new iFriend following me on The Twitter and this new iFriend was crocsinc. You know where this is going.

Clearly some marketing-bot intern over at crocsinc has been assigned the barbarous task of monitoring The Twitter for mention of crocs. The only logical course of action is to mess with crocsinc.

Which elicited the following inflammatory response from crocsinc:

Clearly, marketing-bot does not realize crocsinc is on a slippery slope to become a lightning rod for so much pent up misanthropy.

Stay tuned.

And this is it.

Unbelievable. I had no idea Dr. Dre was so versatile. Rapper, Producer, Engineer. According to the official website, Beats by Dr. Dre are the most advanced headphones ever developed. The headphones feature active noise reduction, iPhone compatibility, accuracy at high end, the mid-range, and bass, and they automatically shut off if you try to listen to Ice Cube. What an age we live in!

Edit: All this Dr. Dre excitement has me googling and it turns out you can get the Dr. Dre biography from Amazon for less than $17. How can you lose?

My spam comment filter picked out a comment that had some of the following statements interspersed with pr0n links and smut:

• The human body (Microcosm) is said to be a small sample of the cosmos (Macrocosm)
• As we realize that our existence as a body is merely a covering
• Discipline may result in liberation or it may result in bondage, Fools serve discipline whereas wise men are served by it.
• When we stop desires, the mind will dissolve and our bondage to nature will dissolve.
• The metaphysician should personally practice and educate his clients of the necessity of being pure in body, mind, and soul
• We will move on to higher dimensions of existence and also enter into higher bodies.

So there you go, advice from a spammer with an existential crisis.
