I remember running into what I think is a really cool service some time age – FoodFeed. It’s a thingie that lets you update and track your eating habits through Twitter. You just send an @ reply to Twitter user having much like this:
@having Veggie tortillas w/ mushrooms, lettuce, cabbage, red onion and sour cream
Now, I remember being very interested in knowing exactly what I eat and when, but I just wasn’t very responsible at updating it with information. Since I am now on a self prescribed diet regimen, I really want to see what I can do with this. Basically I have been on a diet for two weeks now and I’m already seeing some results, so hopefully I hope to lose the belly and the love handles in a month or so.
In addition to FoodFeed I have looked at TweetWhatYouEat.com which even displays the calories for certain foods, but it’s not as pretty looking as FoodFeed and also I saw I need to enter calories for the food I eat (I am clueless when it comes to calories and that stuff), so I decided to pass on it.
If you’re interested in the progress – follow me on Twitter, cheers.
Diablo III is officially confirmed fuckers!
IGN is live blogging Blizzard’s Worldwide Invitational 2008 opening ceremony. Hahaha, I’m so fucking happy now.
Matt has stopped scheduling client work on Fridays, but instead focuses on non-billable activities and relaxing, while full-throttling it Monday to Thursday. This seems really logical to me and I might just make an effort towards doing something similar.
On Eric Gill – creator of the Gill Sans typeface.
His personal diaries describe his sexual activity in great detail including the fact that Gill sexually abused his own children, had an incestuous relationship with his sister and performed sexual acts on his dog.
Kind of makes you think twice about using Gill Sans again, doesn’t it?
I can faintly recall arguments about the inbuilt inefficiencies of meat-eating, but the decision of this particular hard-bitten 14-year-old was based on two different considerations: first, a belief that it was wrong to kill sentient creatures to eat them; and second, that living without meat was an integral part of the 80s counterculture that set itself against the adult world, international capitalism, and Margaret Thatcher. With the arrival of the Smiths’ album Meat Is Murder in 1985, everything became clear.
^ Best reason ever. On a serious note, very good read on why is vegetarianism going to (and should) be on the uprise in the very near future.
Newsnight recently ran an item on the arguments for cutting down, stuffed with the requisite statistics; for example, whereas it takes 20.9 square metres of land to produce 1kg of beef, to come up with the same weight of vegetables, the figure is 0.3 square metres. In the ensuing studio discussion, even the pro-meat contributor agreed that the world would now “have to value meat more highly” […]

This is sooooo friggen aweosme!!!1 Now I’m tempted to use it, or at least recommend it so some people. Thank you Derek (with HP) for making this.
The formation, measuring 150ft in diameter, is apparently a coded image representing the first 10 digits, 3.141592654, of pi. It is has appeared in a field near Barbury Castle, an iron-age hill fort above Wroughton, Wilts, and has been described by astrophysicists as “mind-boggling”.
Wow, these guys are crazy, whoever did this. Math hurts.
This place in Uzbekistan is called by locals “The Door to Hell”. It is situated near the small town of Darvaz. The story of this place lasts already for 35 years. Once the geologists were drilling for gas. Then suddenly during the drilling they have found an underground cavern, it was so big that all the drilling site with all the equipment and camps got deep deep under the ground. None dared to go down there because the cavern was filled with gas. So they ignited it so that no poisonous gas could come out of the hole, and since then, it’s burning, already for 35 years without any pause. Nobody knows how many tons of excellent gas has been burned for all those years but it just seems to be infinite there.
This is just mind-blowing. Follow the link for pics and a video.
This was really surprising (pleasantly) and gave me a giggle. Pages doesn’t offer ‘small’ or ‘poor’, but rather ‘good’, ‘better’ or ‘best’ as options for image quality while exporting a document to PDF.
I have decided to waste some time today after a delicious lunch (zucchini/tomato pasta) and prepare for tonight with a killer party mix. Obviously I opted for the eighties because I friggen love it.
I will be accepting proposals through Twitter or comments on this post, later on I will update the post with the final result. Muxtape accepts 12 songs per account and the URI of the mix will be http://80sparty.muxtape.com/
