becarella's jots on internets


I like the Dickens Google doodle. Bonus points for the Dickensian style in which the mighty Google uses its doodle to link the poor information seeker back to Google's own book content.
The NYPL has a site dedicated to making animated gifs from the stereographs in their collection. Like http://stereo.nypl.org/view/6391.gif?n=1 http://stereo.nypl.org/
Internet in 1996 vs 2011: http://sjot.it/oNn8pT
I made my 1st webpage in 1996 for a high school English assignment on Isaac Rosenberg's WW1 poetry. It was up for years but I can't find it now :-( What was your first webpage?
The administrative contact for http://whiskeytangofoxtrot.com is youcantaffordit@kiai.org. Sads. That should be a tumblr.
My laundry service accepts new orders from their website. The site doesn't use ssl and their form accepts credit cards. The first time I ordered bleary-eyed at 3 am and then stayed up even later to cancel my card. Now I choose "COD". Still love 'em.
I thought http://www.kugelkomponents.com/ would be a site dedicated to kugel variations but it's not. Sad.

I'm looking for more sites like http://4squareand7yearsago.com/ that email you things you shared in the past. Photojojo's time capsule sends you flickr photos and has a great example email address. http://bit.ly/qZNWl2
Semi-seriously considering walking by a movie theater to checkin on 4sq and get the Harry Potter badge. I don't love lines, but I do love Harry Potter. Tricky.

I unlocked the Bender badge on 4sq! For checking in a grocery store. YES! https://foursquare.com/becarella/badge/4e1f847e...
You can be signed into multiple google accounts at once. I did not know that. https://www.google.com/accounts/MultipleSessions
Full attention to branding on the Old Spice website, right down to the 404 page: http://becarella.com/post/7423353914/old-spice-404
Do you use the same profile pictures on all sites? When I change mine, I update it everywhere I can think of. There can be only one. I noticed @falicon has a different pic everywhere!

"I woke up one morning and I thought I was young. But no no no my youth was gone. I don't want to be a crappy housewife. That's why right now to the disco I go." http://youtu.be/dEtFNUZQekc
Gnonstop gnomes are fun. Haven't fully figured them out. I could have scaled this? Ah well, Samba likes the giant gnome. http://gnonstop.com/web/item/1508/log/1676
http://www.trulia.com/crime/ No data for NYC yet :-( That's probably better for me.

My Little Ponies parody Katy Perry's "California Gurls". http://youtu.be/pTPqjKk_xCo (This is the kind of news my dad sends me b/c he knows me well)
I keep entering Kitchenaid mixer giveaways on The Pioneer Woman's site even though I already have a mixer. If I win, there will be a mixer giveaway on Subjot :-P http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/05/in-d...
"Its not really plagiarism as it was exactly what I was going to write anyway." A tumblog full of gems: http://shitmystudentswrite.tumblr.com/
There are not enough Animaniacs clips on YouTube. What gives?
