I whipped out my camera right before I entered a drive-thru car wash and started taking shooting away. I wasn’t expecting most, if any, of the pictures to come out good at all since I didn’t set the proper settings on the camera. They came out better than expected and with some cool results.
DPTRONZ made a cool animated gif using these photos.
There’s this cool website that lists Halloween events called GooGhoul. It lists local haunted houses and other Halloween events based on your Zip code.
This week I’ll be at the BlueHornet Users Conference in San Diego, CA. BlueHornet is a eMarketing application that we use to collect contact information and email newsletters, invites, and other company messages.
Last week I attended a party at Yahoo!’s headquarters in Sunnyvale, CA, to celebrate del.icio.us millionth user + birthday. It was a fun bash.
del.icio.us is a website where you can keep a list, or bookmark, of your favorite links.
Add the movie Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy to the list of movies that people raved about, but I couldn’t finish seeing. Its just a dumb, unfunny movie. The characters are stupid and annoying. I’m a fan of Will Ferrell, but this movie really disappointed me. Other movies I thought were ok, but turned out to be painful to see and I didn’t finish were Charlie’s Angels and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Last month during the week of September 11, I watched a few minutes of a show on tv about the attack and collapse of the World Trade Center’s twin towers while I got ready in the morning. I don’t know what network it was on or the name of the documentary-type show (I was flipping through the channels), but a thing that was discusssed and which stuck with me is this: if you’re caught in a high-rise during a fire, do not to go up to the rooftop. Its one’s natural instinct to go up to a rooftop to get rescued, but as they explained on the show, it may take a helicopter up to 45 minutes to pick someone off a rooftop, drop them off somewhere safe, and return to the scene. That is if the conditions are safe for the helicopter to attempt such a rescue in the first place. During the attack at the WTC in 1993, officials learned that rescuing people from the tower’s rooftop was not feasible. After that incident, they stopped rooftop rescues and locked access to the towers’ rooftop. During the 9/11 attacks, experts on the show believe that workers caught in the towers’ attack may have gone up the floors trying to get to the rooftop…only to find the doors locked.
