Where I'll be this October, with any luck. Fortunately, it's one of three places I can travel to without applying for a visa first. What makes it even better is I'll have my good friend Hemant Jain as a guide. Nothing like travelling with a local, is there? Here's a sample of a likely experience:

So what's your fantasy destination?

Feeling, like 29 ain't so bad, even though it's almost 30,

In no particular order, mind you:

1: www.popurls.com - Perhaps one of the reasons 'OMFG' exists, it's like a snapshot of the web's most popular content at any given time.
2: www.stumbleupon.com - A free plugin that spits new at you, and gets smarter the more you use it.
3: www.flickr.com - The Google of photo-blogging, it's friendly and innovative.
4: del.icio.us - Link-farming a.k.a 'social bookmarking' made oh-so-easy.
5: www.wikipedia.org - Because, for all the controversy, it's still pretty darn comrehensive.

What makes you worldwide smile?

Feeling, like Google is a given, so it's not even in the list, for today at least,

So Clepsydra tagged me. Now I'm supposed to blog 5 facts and tag 5 other VOXheads. Fine. Here it is.

1. I'm 28, but I'm really 12.
2. I like falling out of planes.
3. I've done some terrible things. But so have you. Ha.
4. Habit47 is not my real name.
5. I wasn't born an only child, but I am now.

Right. That's it. For the moment at least.

Here's my lucky 5:

1. Hula Girl
2. Drezilla
3. George W. Bush
4. Vivren 200mg
5. Kittybomber

Feeling, a tad more vulnerable,

In an effort to translate the Arabic Rewards proposal link on the CIA website (as you do) I scarpered off to Google Language Tools, slapped in the text and, well, clicked translate...but I only got more Arabic. Admittedly, Google does say it's only in Beta, so I'm going to let this one slide. Still, I'm suprised. It's a bit like being Googlewhacked.

Feeling, like I'm not that pleased to be at work on a Saturday,

P.S. If you understand Arabic, and you have the time, please translate this for me?    شكرا!

Because we can't all draw good. Especially in 3D.

Oh, and it's free.

Eyelash Curlers - Not a new Idea

Thanks to Google's new Patent Search Tool, you can now search over 7 million patents the same way you'd search for anything else on the web. Hmmm. Should we just start calling it Godgle?

Feeling, blessed by the hands of Google Labs,

It's not who I am, it's what I say, so keep reading and hopefully we'll both learn something.

If you really want to find out anything else me, google/flickr/youtube habit47.

It's all there - the pretentious profile, lists of my favourite books/movies/music etc. etfuckingcetera.

I'm only here to see if this platform can handle itself as well as I've been told, so you can stick around while I poke buttons and pull levers, or you can go away and work on your own shit.

I'm supposed to be able to upload pretty much all types of common digital media, which will prove to be very useful in my quest to at least rock, if not tip, the bloated boats of station programmers everywhere.

Here's a video, then:

Ok, either I haven't figured it out yet or there isn't actually a way to drop your own images into the 'design' of your blog. If you can enlighten me, please do, because the pseudo-teen-dj-encrusted-disc-media one you're looking at right now is not ok. Here's, however, a photo I actually like:

This isn't quite as smooth as vox wants it to be, but they're probably polishing up the next version as I type this, so let's not be impatient.

Don't know why the photo title is underlined, though.
And I wonder if it links straight to the Flickr page it's on.
There are other questions, too.

Give me a moment, won't you?
And isn't it past your bedtime, anyway?

feeling a bit better, thanks for asking,

P.S. This post is old, but this 'P.S.' is new. Finally.
