so the ole saying of “blah-blah-blah” today is now blog-blog-blog? I lay guilty as charged. Just one long neck down and sooo many to go.

Comment on FileWatcher becomes SimpleFileWatcher by mike panero

On the subject of SFW, has anyone used it in the form of a service.
By that I mean a service/demon running in the background, looking at a list of directories & then starting, if needs be, which ever program needs to know.
e.g. you media centre prog. has a directory where you store all your mp3, but whilst not listening to music you start futzing around & move it somewhere
This would cause the said media centre prog. to start & either update its location or ask you to stop futzing, what ever

I would assume there is so limit to how many directories could be monitored without impacting the performance of the whole machine but I suspect it could still be useful

Very cool device! Even cooler that you got a chance to try it out for the local news, grats!

I can’t wait until the sensitivity and signal processing algorithms of this sort of technology improves to the point that we can truly interface intuitively with applications– until then, I’m sticking with my mouse.

Comment on Cable TV is broken by Will

I hear you man. To enjoy cable you either have to be a die-hard TV watcher who schedules his life around the TV guide or you have to be a completely passive watcher who is fine with whatever is thrown at him.
For people who want value of content, and aren’t afraid of computers then hulu, youtube, megavideo, and sidereel are your best bet.

As a side note, your Captcha wants me to type in “no Annis.”

Comment on Americans Love Being Fat by kyle

I would definitely say our society does not find fatness acceptable despite the large number of obese and overweight people in our nation. So many Americans try not to be fat and spend way to much money trying to lose the weight. As a fat guy I can say that I don’t want to lose weight because there are many advantages to embracing the paunch. Let’s look at them.

1. Eat whatever I want.
Since I’m already a fat guy, I don’t need to worry about every calorie I consume, I don’t need to “watch what I eat” or anything like that. I want ice cream, I get ice cream. I want pizza, I get pizza. Hey, even if I want McDonald’s I get McDonald’s! And I like to eat for the taste, I like to eat for the sake of eating, and, I like the feeling of being full. So there is one reason being a fat dude really is awesome.

2. Physical activity?
Since I chose the fatass lifestyle, I really don’t need to worry about excersize, because 2 hours of excersize is two hours two many, it’s two hours I could spend doing all kinds of other stuff, and fat guys don’t just watch TV. I could be doing something productive or social. I could be catching up on my work, or studying something I express interest in. So there’s an other reason.

3. The fun of it
Skinny people may never understand this, but I love being the fat guy. I love having all my friends make fun of me (in a friendly way of course) and I love being able to make jokes about my weight. Being the fat guy is fun. Also maybe this is just me, but fat is a very amusing substance, it’s bouncy, jiggly and often something I turn to for entertainment when I’m bored. Trust me, being fat isn’t all that bad.

The things people worry about.
1. Health. Yes, I know it’s not as healthy being fat. But I’m not obese, and I don’t feel sick all the time and studies show that it really only lowers you life by an average of 7 years if your obese, I’m not obese I’m overweight. I don’t think the health risks of being overweight are anything to worry about too much. this is just paranoia that devastates our nation.
2. Girls. A lot of people think fat guys can’t get girls, but this isn’t true. I have never had trouble getting a girl because of my weight, confidence will make weight not matter

So there I’m fat, I’m going to be fat, and I’m going to like it.
What’re you going to do about it?
