MySpace asks the hard-hitting questions

Q:


I love targeted advertising! Enjoy this jewel... (and who are those green people?)

How you get here...

Just finished looking at the viewer data from Google Analytics. This blog gets a lot of hits from people looking for more information on D.E. Shaw (a hedge fund I used to work for). I knew that bit of info already. But what I didn't know about was the weird search terms people are coming up with. For example...



Buh?

Oh, now that's a fancy trick!

I was on the site for the New York Metro (as in, the daily 15-minute read newspaper) and I noticed this rad CSS on the anchor tag rollover:



Okay, I'm still on the fence as to whether it's nice or not, but it's definitely a good trick to pull off.

Facebook raised a very good question

Thoughts?

*gulp*

At CCTV editing my first feature for Share.tv, which is quite a task. I don't know how I'm going to do this every week for 4 months! It's crazy. Here's a screenshot of my canvas: that's DJ /rupture right there, also wondering "WTF".



Okay, done rendering! Back to work!

Some News, and also, the best spam EvER LOLZ

Hello non-existant reader! Hello future generation!

As you may or may not know, I'm working on a big project: I'm producing a TV show on PUBLIC ACCESS! It's cooler than it sounds.


It's called Share.tv, an hour-long program modeled off of the Share collective in NYC (and in several other locations around the globe). The point is, people get together with stuff that makes noise and/or video, and they improvise off of one another. Sometimes the results are mesmerizing, and sometimes they're deplorable, but it's one experience where the process that matters as much (if not even more) than the product, and it's a good time. If that doesn't make for good TV in-and-of-itself, picture that stuff going on with pre-taped segments featuring really prolific new media artist where they're showing off their material. Then, also, I'm going to try to get some animations and music videos interspersed between segments. That's good TV! Writers strike be damned! If you're interested, and would like to help out, cheer, or give me some tips, have a look at the project's website! Or join my Google Group!

On a completely different note, OMG did I get the best spam in the world today! (Now, before you ask me why I felt like going through the spam folder, I'll tell you: I was waiting for one of those confirmation emails you get when you join some service, but it wasn't popping up, so I figured it didn't get past my spam block. I was right.) I can't believe I almost deleted the whole contents of the folder! I would have missed out on such gems as these 5 emails, which I actually rescued from the spam folder, they were so good:



And yes, I couldn't resist the compulsion to open them. I know, I know, it's bad, and I shouldn't be doing those things (bad Harlo! Didn't they teach you ANYTHING at the UNIVERSITY?) but it was SOOOOOO WORTH IT:




Can i borrow someone else's computer to actually pay www . trarnies . com a visit? What's a trarnie? (A cross between a tranny and a carnie, natch.)
