Yes, I do. Now, you can spread the word about Cafenut using stickers! All you need is some full sheet label or sticker paper. Then, print out either the sticker using the image linked above, or one of these handy links:

Photos From The Gates

The Gates

I finally got my film developed from when I went to see The Gates. They are some awesome photos. I put them in a set called, The Gates. Well, I’d better get going now.

Google Talk

I used Google Talk last night and even logged on before it was officially launched. (via Anil Dash) It’s quite awesome. I don’t like that the *official* app is only available for Windoze. Wish Google would make some Mac apps.

Well, Google says that voice chats can only be done using the GTalk client, but I’ve heard it also works with iChat. Better find out with Sudman tomorrow.

Edit: Seems only iChat users can voice chat with each other while logged into Google Talk.

Sam’s Blog Rocks

I remember taking a look at Sam’s blog a while ago. Being my lazy self, I didn’t feel like linking to him or bookmarking him. Besides, it was pretty late at night. He’s trying to get an interview with the very fly, The Unicorns.

Well, he wants a lot of readers so he can get a chance for the interview. So there, I’m brushing some of my PageRank off on him by blogging this and adding him to my blogroll.

Bootleg Bootlegs

Vader Has A Posse

I put the one with Vader on it up on one of those boxes that controls traffic lights.

Lost Blog

I was testing out Blogger’s new flagging feature, when I found a blog that seemed interesting. I hit the back button, and I found out that Safari has a bit of a problem with Next Blog links.

In case anyone sees the blog, I can tell you what I remember about the blog. It was written by a woman diagnosed with breast cancer, who is about 36, and she loves her cats. Her most recent post involved her comments on many blogs disappearing.

Please comment if you find the blog!

Edit: Success! I found the blog, thanks to Google. It’s called Von Krankipantzen.

Thunderstorm in NYC


Click here to view

It’s been like this for a while now. It usually rains like this around this time of year. I’m lucky I have my Mac connected to a surge protector, which my cousin had thought about buying with my old PC. In case you’re wondering, yes, this is my first time using captions. Sorry about the file size, people. Was too lazy to cut out the footage at the end.

(One question I have is whether or not Linux users can view videos encoded in H.264. Don’t worry, this video is an MPEG4!)

Nice Tie-In

I just watched the new All-American Rejects video for Dirty Little Secret. I didn’t know it existed until Marina tipped me off. Pretty nice video. I like the way they had postcards from PostSecret, which I can’t believe I never wrote about before.

I’ve always thought about submitting something, but I don’t know what secret I have to share. PostSecret reminds me of SecretAdmirer.com, which I have yet to use since I have so many email addresses.
