An idea came to me that could be really awesome, especially for celebrities. Celebrities seem to complain about the stalkerazzi that keeps taking photos of them and invading their personal space. Why don’t they all get together and hire some guys, like their entourage (which is also a great show on HBO mind you) to take pictures of the stalkerazzi and their families! I would totally do that to the stalkerazzi and then you know what I’d do? I’d put those pics on a website and also make shirts of them.
Think of this scenario. Your guy took pics of one of your top stalkerazzi with their kids doing regular family stuff. You put that on a shirt and wear it out, especially to some big event where you know they will definitely be. Like a premiere or even on a talk show! The stalkerazzi sees the picture on your shirt and goes WTF?!
stalkerazzie: “How did you get a picture of me and my family?!”
celeb: “I just got it. It looks like you have your own stalkerazzi. I have a few more, wanna see?”
s: “WTF!? YOU CAN’T DO THAT! THAT’S MY FAMILY!”
c: “Really? The guy who took your picture is just doing their job. Kind of like you. Isn’t that what you said to me when I asked you to leave me and my family alone? And you know what? You’re not the only one who’s pictures are available. All of us celebs have our own shirts with some of you guys on them.”
s: “WTF? WTF?!!!!”
Now the shoes on the other foot, and the celebs can now perhaps get some peace and quiet when they are out with their family. Seriously, why hasn’t anyone done this? I would do this if I knew some celebs that wanted to get back at some stalkerazzi.
That’s my idea to help out the celebs.

Have you ever read 1984? For those of you that aren’t in the literate part of the population, which is surprisingly a lot. Anyhow, to summarize, it’s basically about a future, 1984, where the government runs everything and changes the history to suit their needs. For instance, if the newspaper said that some company will go bankrupt, but it actually succeeds, they will go ahead and change the newspaper to say that the company would actually succeed. You get the point right?
So here’s what I’ve come to realize with blogs. Granted there are a few people out there that do update their blogs and give us a peak into their, one thing that I’ve come to notice is that many of these same people do some editing of their own. An example is some quick editing about a night gone awry. Its up one second, and gone the next. In it’s place is either nothing, which is usually the case, or a completely different entry. Here’s the thing though. I have seen some where people completely get rid of their entries in order to either hide their entries or simply to start over. Although rare, I have seen my friends do this. Some of said that it’s because they started dating someone new and decided that they didn’t want their new SO to get a peak into their past.
I think that’s wacky. Why not just not give out your blog?
History lost. History rewritten.

I’ve been looking around for a media cataloguer for all of my stuff like music, books and dvds and was really disappointed with the offerings. One of hte best ones was for Apple. After even thinking about having one developed, I came across this. iMedia Man cataloguer. This thing is very similar to the Delicious software in that you can add items by scanning barcodes with your webcam and it will also pull all of hte info for your stuff from amazon.
So if you are like me and have hundreds of items, you need to get this and get your catalogue in order!

I’m done. Forget it. I’m done.
When did my life stop being my own?
The phrase “this is my life” is retarded. Because this really isn’t my life, because it affects everyone around me. So my life, is your life.
My brother is right.
Forget all of this business nonsense because I’m too stupid and inexperienced to actually be successful. So I should go corporate and work my way up to a managerial position and learn whatever I can so I can then start my own business.
Forget that I would rather start another company or project. I need stability.
Forget that I would rather blow my head off than do the same job for years on end. I need experience.
Forget that I would rather take chances in life; high risk - high reward. I need to grow up.
I’ll do it. I’ll take a corp job and gain experience. Even though I learned more the past couple of years running my company than I would have working for someone else.
I’m done. Forget this next project that would have been great, even though I would have had to move out of the country. A very high risk and very high reward, but it would have been awesome. Scary. Fuck it.
I’ll be that old and bitter guy that didn’t live my own life but listened to others.
I almost became him once when I didnt major in what I wanted to, but instead what others thought I should do.
Funny how life works in circles. I had thought I’d be older and wiser. Instead, I’m just older and fatter.
As if my head isn’t full of other crap.
Done. Finito. Fin. End.

C|Net has an interesting article about a small company where they are playing poker to help pay for their personal bills by playing poker online on weekends. They say they make about $100/hr playing these games. At a rate of 10-15 hrs per weekend, that comes out to almost $6K a month. Not too shabby.
I think I’ll give this a try to see how things work out. I won’t be making much money, but it could be fun doing it.
