Sunday surplus

Doobybrain.com was unavailable for a good portion of the day yesterday. What happened? I don’t really know, honestly. But what I do know is that Norman can willfully bring the site on and offline whenever he chooses. Ha! I swear, the site was unreachable UP UNTIL THE MOMENT that I IM’d him. Then, as if the server just knew that I was talking to my brother, the site just came back online. Magic, I tell you. Just…amazing trickery!

Have you made yourself a fan yet? It’s easy! Just click on “Become a fan” and you’re all done!

Gmail chat now has a menu list of smileys in standard, circular, and square shapes! Oh yeah, and you can GROUP CHAT now. Yarsome!

How accurate is your color memory? Can you tell which red is the stop-sign-red? Or can you figure out which yellow is the correct McDonald’s-arch-yellow?

Wow, I didn’t know this! But apparently you can hold the OPTION key down on your mac and push the shutter button in Photo Booth to instantly take a photo instead of waiting for that annoying 3-second countdown. Also, pressing SHIFT while pushing the shutter button will disable the white-screen “flash”. And of course, doing both will instantly take a photo and disable the flash. Yina, where’s your Mac now?

A fan is a good thing.

Oddly enough, this is what I think of people who go crazy over the iPhone.

Google Reader implements drag-and-drop organization. Nice!

The Thrills - The Midnight Choir

Be a fan. Write on the wall. Draw some graffiti.

Holy cow! There’s going to be 32GB of FLASH MEMORY inside the new Creative Zen media players. Pretty cool!

I am almost certain that offering all back-episodes of South Park online in the next coming year will not really be “free”. Somebody, somewhere, will screw it up for the rest of us (either through some stupid proprietary video format/player/viewer, or tons and tons and tons and tons and tons of commercials/ads).

Ok, have a good day.
