Next time you go searching for that certain special someone, for the night, on craigslist, you can see if the picture they give you is for real or not. Tin Eye is an image search engine that uses an image as the search term, rather than words. It does an amazing job of finding the handful of people who’ve bothered to re-host some of my pictures, instead of just hot-linking to them like the other 2000+ myspace pages do. If only they indexed all the personal ads. Still, I suspect some people are going to get exposed as frauds anyways, once words of Tin Eye hits the e-streets.

Is That Picture Really You?
Thursday, August 21st, 2008“pay some road tax a**hole”
Thursday, August 7th, 2008I’m walking back to work from lunch, waiting at the light for my turn to cross, and a car drives past (ok, lots of cars drove past), the driver leans out the window and yells at me “pay some road tax, asshole!”.
I find this amusing. After all, I do drive a car, and I’m thinking about buying an electric moped/scooter, so I’d be paying for two vehicles, even though I can only drive one at a time.
I guess the price of gas is really getting to some folks.
Wishlist Surprises
Monday, August 4th, 2008I’ve had an Amazon wishlist for quite a while. When I first started buying from them, I used an actual Wyse terminal attached to an external modem (for the purposes highly overpowered at 19.2kbps). Sometimes an item ends up on the list that I have no clue why I put it there. Like the 6-CD’s of crappy covers that is Party With Pride,which if my guess is correct, I put on the list for it’s cover of “99 Red Balloons”. But the ‘artist’ names are totally worth the used CD price I paid….”Venus With Penus”…alllllllrighty then =p
Vista Bug Amusement
Sunday, July 27th, 2008You can accidentally drag one folder into another under appdata\local, and it just does it. It ctrl-Z to undo your mistake, and NOW you get prompted by UAC to approve the re-creation of the file folder. Nevermind that the delete was probably the more damaging action. WTF-eh?
Seattle PI Haxors
Sunday, July 13th, 2008LoLz. It seems that google has marked the seattle pi website as a possible purveyor of malware. This is what happens when you sell flash adspace.
