Microblogging
Sometimes I don't have a whole lot to blog about and sometimes I do. When I do, this is my main cyberspace nook. However, most of the times I only have scattered thoughts or interesting links that don't warrant an entire blog post. That's why I also created my "micro blog" at flubberwinkle.tumblr.com and I invite you to stop by. You can pick up the rss for my tmblr updates.

Carrot Cake out to get me
Here I am early Saturday searching for a carrot cake recipe and can't help wondering what the allrecipe.com people were thinking when they added flat-tummy ads on their site.. ironic, no?

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2008 when...
1. You accidentally enter your PIN on the microwave.
2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for n ot staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.
7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't even have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.
11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :)
12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.
14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.

Foodscapes
It's a good thing this photographer didn't listen to his mama about not playing with his food.
Astonishing artwork and concept by Carl Warner.
Go to the second orange folder in "fotographics" for "foodscapes". Everything in the photo is edible. The wheel is a mushroom, the castle made of cheese, etc.

Back when computer mice had balls
Here's a great bit of Internet jokelore that's been circulating in and out of e-mails since 1989. It might or might not be true, having started as an "in-company" joke. This supposedly was a memo sent out by IBM to its employees in all seriousness. It went to all field engineers about a computer peripheral problem. The author of this memo was quite genuine. The engineers rolled on the floor! Especially note the last couple of sentences.
Re: Replacement of Mouse Balls.
If a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement. Mouse balls are now available as FRU (Field Replacement Units). Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by properly trained personnel.
Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than foreign balls.
Ball removal procedures differ depending upon the manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop off method. Domestic balls are replaced by using the twist off method. Mouse balls are not usually static sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden discharge. Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be used immediately.
It is recommended that each person have a pair of spare balls for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction. Any customer missing his balls should contact the local personnel in charge of removing and replacing these necessary items. Please keep in mind that a customer without properly working balls is an unhappy customer.

What reels 'em in...
Recently on my blog's keyword analysis:
I'm not complaining. People dropping by -even if it's only to use the bathroom- still count as visitors (and valid blog traffic), but WHAT-THE-HECK kinda search is "pictures of someone sticking a camera in someone's nostril"???? Huh?

Because you know 'Flubberwinkle' will sound funny in Japanese
My previous post might have been even funnier if I had "Site Pal" on my blog reading you the text, instead of you reading the text.
Site Pal is animated text to speech technology. Too bad it's out of my blog budget range (anything that isn't free is out of my blog budget range).
Greek text recognition is also available in Afrodite (sexy) or Artemis (no-nonsense) voice.

Brand new era. Same old Greek way.
On May 17th, 2007 the Greek Ministry of Economy and Finance launched a major public awareness campaign on the benefits of new information and telecommunication technologies (ITT). The campaign's name (fittingly) "Ψηφιακή Ελλάδα" ["Digital Greece"].
It's been 20 days since the campaign started and TV and billboard ads are encouraging us to check out the official site psifiakiellada.gr and become acquainted with the possibilities and opportunities offered by the new technologies.
The irony?
The site is still under construction.
Ahem...nice n' easy does it Digital-Greece fellas.
You wouldn't want to bombard the newbies YOUR CAMPAIGN IS TARGETING with TOO MUCH INFORMATION. Oh, I dunno, like a mission statement or an online timeline of when we should bother revisiting.
Brand new era... same old Greek way of doing things.
