Greedo Never Fired

It appears some folks are trying to resurect a television show that I am wikked fond of. So as a favor to me please go HERE and tell them you would watch it if they did. Now I say "Firefly Season 2" and "Serenity" and "Joss Whedon" in hopes that this blog entry will show up in searches. Thanks.

See it right here. Man is it boring! What is it? It’s the security cam at the Manheim Realty company in Levittown, New York and it is one of over 1300 live webcams you can eavesdrop on thanks to opentopia.com. The site explains “These are web cameras with IP addresses, which send a continuous stream of pictures in the Motion JPEG format.” It also explains that “The snapshots you see here appear as fair use according to copyright law.” I am sure they just barely make the legal cut. But its actually interesting for a few minutes to watch office workers shuffle around their cubicles, or watch cars wiz by on a small street in Denmark, or shoplifters browsing an electronics store in Texas. I have to say in all the shots that occur indoors I can’t help but find myself waiting for the gunman/men to burst through the doors of the store, office or classroom and start shooting. I guess with 1351 cameras going eventually they will.

Venerable reader Redboy provides this linky for the scoop on what brought the Million Dollar Hompage down.

Youd think for a million bucks the million dollar homepage would work. Im sure it will be up again soon, but I'm just sayin. So far its been down for about 20 minutes that I know about. That would be down since 3:25pm to my knowledge. UPDATE: It has now been down for 1 hour. (4:25) UPDATE: It is back.

Congratulations Alex Tew! The Millon Dollar Homepage has officially made one million dollars plus 37,100 more from auctioning the last 1000 pixels on Ebay. That is ALOT of socks. I made this T shirt deign in your honor. UPDATE: You may be wondering why the ebay auction reached 152,000 dollars but in the end only made 38,100 dollars. There is a good explanation here.

Is Mel Gibson (Max Rockatansky) Crazy? Well, of course he is. But is he crazy like a fox. Yes. His latest Movie endeavor is Apocolypto . A story of the roots of ancient civilization. By Monday millions will have watched the trailer. Not because we are all dying to see Mel’s next movie (though I would be if it were called Post-Apocolypto) But because he threw a tasty easter egg into the trailer. That’s wikked smaht. To view it go here and play the LARGE version. Notice on the picture above approximately where the frame appears (00:01:46) about 10 frames after a face caught in a net. Now, show your friends… that’s how “viral marketing” works. And works well.

Ya know, for the fastest growing, scariest, internet monster Google sure is cool. Thier Homepage today was a salute to Louis Braille on his birthday. Go to google and click it to learn more.

Remember this... Alex Tew's scheme to pay for college... The Million Dollar Homepage. Well there are only one thousand pixels left. In fact I doubt those are still available. So Happy New Year Million Dollar Homepage. Definately one of the smartest moves ever made by an individual using the internet. Now I would like to see The Million Dollar Homepage Quilt. Think about it. UPDATE: Holly Crap what a good idea! Looks like Alex took the last 1000 pixels on his site and put 'em on eBay. The bidding has reached $21,400.00 and is climbing. I love this kid. UPDATE 2: I wasn't gonna keep updating this, but I think the word is out because today the bids have lept to a staggering (yes, staggering) 149,900 dollars. I dont know what tax is on a million dollars, but Alex is not only going to make a million... he is going to clear a million.

Perhaps you reconize the At At Boo Boo T-Shirt. I did a little story on it in June. I had entered it at threadless.com and though it scored VERY high it was not printed for legal reasons. Well I had all, but given up on the sucker when good friend and ghost boy Ricky Bacchus clued me in on the fact that CafeExpress was doing black shirts. Using CafePress the At At Boo Boo shirt is now available. I will be making $2 per shirt. That part sucks , but at least the shirt will be made. For those of you who do not know what an At-At is. It is somewhat of a "walking tank" and was featured in the Star Wars film The Empire Strikes Back. Buy it here: http://www.cafepress.com/greedonever And check out Ricky's Luckiest Girls Tee here: Luckiest Girls

One of GNF's embedded agents in New York City's Subways sent these four pics and claims there are many more like them out there on the net. I don't think we can justify a raise, but maybe they will settle for a REALLY big box of those squishy neck pillows. An MTA strike is neither Tech story nor T-Shirt nor Honorable mention, but ever since the PSP MTA MAP GreedoNeverFired has been hot with the subway crowd. So why not.

They grow up so fast. And fast is the key word. When I first saw ASIMO running I thought "WOW, running, what a stupendous feat of technology... of balance!" Then it hit me. Back in December of 2004 Honda announced ASIMO's Top speed at 3 kph. Now in December of 2005 they have doubled that speed to 6kph. With that in mind (and assuming the average sustainable top speed of a human being is 15mph/24kph, I have calculated that we have until December of 2007 to enjoy the luxury of being able to out run robots. After that... they see you, they got you. Here's some simple advice. As your body begins to give out be sure to splurge on that hip replacement or knee joint implants etc. Not that these upgrades will ever enable you to escape the metallic menace, but it is my belief the robots will take mercy on the cyborgs of our race. Good luck. UPDATE: By the way they overtake our land speed record in 2013.

Here is a great way to make a website faster than you can say “dude, we so need a website” and its free! This really is the easiest one of these sites I have seen yet. Functionality is limited, but I am guessing it will grow. I whipped up this one in about 15 minutes. It’s for a new rock club on the lower east side of Manhattan called Fontana’s. They have their actual site (still temporary) at www.fontanasnyc.com Protopage.com
