friday night geekery

Yeah, I’m staying in tonight. New health kick, so I’m sat on my aris eating sweet and sour battered chicken sandwiches.

Anyway, Google presents the 2003 Year-End Google Zeitgeist.

Firstly they’ve spelt carnival incorrectly, secondly, who/what the hell is spongebob?

Britney was the top search and Jonny beat George.

And, the HK angle – SARS.

exact attitude

Exactitudes.com is an interesting site.


They call their series Exactitudes: a contraction of exact and attitude. By registering their subjects in an identical framework, with similar poses and a strictly observed dress code, Versluis and Uyttenbroek provide an almost scientific, anthropological record of people’s attempts to distinguish themselves from others by assuming a group identity.

My faves are the casual queers, bimbos, Allah’s girls and the Chinese students. Oh no, number one is the grannies – why do they always look the same!? The chickies aren’t too bad.

wtf?

Saw Phlogger over at Breanagh’s place. I’ve been wanting to add a moblog to my little site and this looked good – update by MMS. Nice. So I registered for an account, and got this:


Thank your for your submission. Your request has been submitted, and will be processed within a week.

Anyone know how to adjust the brightness of a video? Here’s one from NY Eve, but it’s just too dark.
