Okay, first there was that little blue and red beta fish that you used as your image for the Beta version. Yes, I did enjoy that cleverness.
Now, there’s THIS:
You win, Windows 7. That was just waaaay too adorable. Or maybe I have a soft spot for cute little Asian girls that can’t read big words.
So I’m trying out Google Friend Connect, which is a type of plugin that makes sites more interactive for visitors.
The three features I’m testing are the Friend Connect panel, the comment section, and the Event Calendar.
Friend Connect will let any visitor sign in and basically follow this site, and list other sites that you follow that have Friend Connect. You can add other visitors as friends and see what sites they follow, and you can send invites to people to see the site you’re at. Your icon is whatever icon you have set up with whichever service you choose, a popular one being Google itself, but you can use other things like “openID” to sign in.
The comment section can be to leave me a message that might not have anything to do with a post of mine. The message is public, though, so it can be seen by anyone. You can also link to a video from youtube.
The Event Calendar shows an event I plan to attend, where it’s located, and how many days till it comes. You can also put that you’re going to go, and even click to have it added to your Google Calendar.

Anyway, since we were talking about cosplaying characters from Bakemonogatari on the forums, I decided to see what came up in an image search. Of course, not much [...]
Kirsten Dunst has been roaming the streets of Akihabara (bet she had no idea what she’d be getting herself into there), dressed like…well, I have no idea. It looks more Rainbow Brite-inspired than anything anime, really. The seifuku top is the only thing that’s anime related, maybe the wand if she’s going Magical Girl.
All of [...]
Good news: The year that I graduated high school has the best SAT scores in over a decade.
Bad news: The score has steadily been decreasing each passing year.
Good news: Looks like we just barely missed the new “Writing” part of the test.
Bad news: I was told there would be no math.
Good news: At least one [...]
Since I must involve myself with the public in my job, I deal with a fair amount of retardation. I wish I could think of a better word for it, because it’s not fair to compare these people to the mentally challenged in our society. Even the challenged have more sense than these idiots.
I don’t [...]
