TTLB Ecosystem Near Me

So, similar to what I did the other day for the TTLB Ecosystem (a rating system for blogs based on links) I’ve looked at the 10 blogs above me and below me and listed the ones that I liked. Today, I rate 8051 and list has about 45,000 entries. I was curious what was “near” me so I figured you should be curious too…

  • 8042. Bruce Eisner’s Vision Thing
  • 8044. Emergent Voyageurs
  • 8045. The Michael Bane Blog
  • 8046. diary of a london cokehead

  • The Long Kiss Goodnight

    So the other night I saw they were running The Long Kiss Goodnight so I TiVo’d it. This is an excellent action film with Geena Davis (yes, I said Geena Davis and action film in the same sentence). She’s the school teacher that “private eye” (use that term loosely) Samuel Jackson refers to as “amnesia chick”. Turns out they found her on the beach eight years ago with no memory. A car crash, some strange dreams and a little bit of info dug up by the private eye and we on our way.

    It’s a good chase from there to figure out who’s bad and who’s good and who’s really bad. It’s definitely a different movie for Geena so check it out on the late night movies, NetFlix it or (gasp) physically leave the couch and go to the video store. The picture on the cover of the DVD does nothing to promote the film, maybe it’s supposed to look like Lethal Weapon or something. Continue reading

    TiVo Deluxe!!!

    So TiVo rolled out (started rolling out) their new features in the music, photos and more section. These new features I think will pave the way for what you have to look forward to from your home entertainment center. They now have (without you having to install anything on your home computer) movie listings, traffic, weather, photos (Yahoo!), streaming Internet audio (Live 365), games (yes, I said games) and you can listen to podcasts. This is very cool stuff! I especially like SameGame, it’s a fun game you’ll just have to try. This all assumes you have your TiVo hooked up to the network (and not the phone).

    TTLB Ecosystem Insignificant Microbes

    So Doug did something like this: He took the lowest ten sites (excluding two spam sites) on the TTLB Ecosystem (a rating system for blogs based on links) and created a link to them to help with the evolution of their sites. For example the lowest on the rank is 45,000 (give or take) called Insignificant Microbes, I rate 8051 and am a Flippery Fish and the top 10 are ranked as Higher Beings.

    I’m doing this a little different than Doug. I’m going to look through the very bottom of the list, work my way up and pick the first ten that I like (not dislike) that have posted recently (some are pretty outdated). I looked from 45550-45592 and I ended up with eleven and in the spirt of linking felt no reason to reduce the list to just ten.

  • 45550. Good News Edition
  • 45562. Ananthoo’s Updates
  • 45563. Sacred Insanity

  • Four For Friday

    Q1 – Co-Workers: Do the people you work with tend to be younger than you, the same age as you, or older than you? How do the differences in age or generations play themselves out in your work environment? In other words, are these sorts of differences good, bad, or not a factor in the work you do?
    Most of the people in my building are older than myself but district wide with all the teachers a lot of the staff is younger than me. Though in most of my previous jobs I used to be the baby where ever I worked.

    Matching Freak

    So here’s a photoblog of Melike’s, it’s called MatchingFreak v.2. In the background info for this site she says:

    In my senior year of high school, I put up a picture of my outfit every day for about three months.
    Ever since then, people have been asking me to do it again, so I’m giving it a try.

    Every day you get a shot that shows her full outfit, jewelry, belt/shoes/socks, etc. There’s no text, the pictures pretty much speak for themselves.

    Saturday Six – 89

    1. Which of the following generally costs you more: a normal trip to your barber/hairstylist, your usual lunch at your favorite restaurant, the most recent amount you paid to fill up your gas tank, or your biggest single contribution to a single charity in 2005?
    My biggest contribution to a single charity was the largest: which would to First Step (the shelter I volunteer at). Next would be Gas, Hair, Lunch.
    2. What drink — alcoholic or not — do you drink entirely too much of?
    Coca-Cola. My other drinks are water, Cap’t + Coke, Long Island Iced Teas, and a fruity drink that tastes like Hawaiian Punch.
