We’ve been playing around with some Google Fusion Tables and the examples don’t work as described. Specifically, if you copy the example code given on the page, you get a white area where the charts and maps should be. Turns out it’s simply the CSS link in the example code.

Viddy would be cool, if it wasn’t for the community

Tried out the Viddy app. It’s like Instagram for Video, right? I like Instagram. The social aspect of it is like the worst of YouTube. What I wanted was stuff like Skifcha dubstep. What I got made me long for a Rick Roll. Why would I let this post to my Facebook wall?

I got this seemingly personal email from Winston Redford about my website. He has lots of personal details and it looks like he took the time to write to me as admin of my outdoor webpage. But… the illusion was ruined by receiving one for each domain I own.

Lego Cuusoo video on YouTube isn’t so kid friendly

The Lego Cuusoo site is pretty cool. And they have a cute video to explain the purpose of the site. But when the video is complete, YouTube puts up some weird and questionable videos to watch next. More Information Lego Cuusoo

My son “bought” this game with “moola” earned as a reward for doing work over the past few months. I was really interested in the “auction” aspect of the reward. The perceived value on this item was low. But the perceived value of the bucket of fart putty was high. Since my son likes Avatar [...]
