But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!

A week so grand, the list goes on

  • The low-carb diet (Atkins) works better than the other diets. It's also healthy.

  • Kobe gets suspended…again. This time he "hit" Marko Jaric. I remember a time when Dale Davis kicked Rick Fox in the head and nothing happened.
  • Lakers win 3 in a row, then drop 4. At least they are streaky.
  • South Park started. Season 11 is as funny as ever!
  • The Avril Lavigne Studio Taping was fun. Albert Hammond Jr at the El Rey was fun. Two great shows in 2 days. Avril looked mad HOT. Hammy played "FREEEEEEE from it all, I'm not gonna change till I want to."

eBay

Hey eBay, I have something for you. The other night I mentioned that you need to catch up with the times and implement some Web 2.0 elements on your site. I hate that in 2007 I still have to refresh the final minute of an auction. We are all Sniping the auctions anyway. It's just a matter of watching the last final minute. If I had to continuously press a button during the last leg of Kentucky Derby I would spend all my time, before the Preakness, figuring out how to automate that ridonkulous procedure.

So this is for you, eBay.

 

Put this code in the <head> // probably should go in its own js file

<script type="text/JavaScript">
function CountDown(x){
   total = (60 - x);
   document.getElementById('counttimer').innerHTML = total +   " seconds remaining";
   x++;
   x = (x == 60) ? 0 : x;
   setTimeout("CountDown("+ x +")", 1000);
 }
</script>

Somewhere after the <body> add this:

<p id="counttimer"></p>

Add this piece (below) after the id is set. This is very important. The function can actually sit anwhere on the page. The Page DOM must contain the id before the function is called.

<script type="text/JavaScript">CountDown(1)</script>

That's it. A Web 2.0 Countdown Timer that doesn't use a form, input text fields, hidden fields or 65 lines of code. I have noticed you are dabbling in the Web 2.0 world with the use of Grebox. I am a big fan of Greybox and have been using it to display the comments for almost a year. Come on, eBay. It's time to catch up to at least the standards of What Da Phuk!

It's Monday. Here's some WDP approved 411 for you.

  • Ann Coulter can't rest until she proves she is crazier than Britney, Paris, Lindsay and Mel Gibson combined. She has now added a bit of Tim Hardaway in there. Listen to her slander John Edwards.

  • Tabu Tattoo has become The Tattoo Lounge. It is still own by Swag and is the home of Bugs
  • I am the unofficial King of the Wu Tang Dance. According to my weblogs I am.
  • We have not kept it crunk in a very long time. The daily crunk shall return.
  • James Cameron's Jesus Tomb was boring and hypothetical. They are relying on scribed names and statistical impossibilities far more than DNA and science.
  • Daylight Savings is really this weekend. Seriously, March 11th.
  • Lamar Odom tore his shoulder and is out indefinitely.
  • Dr Dre's long-awaited follow up to the Chronic 2001, Detox is actually due to come out this year.
  • There was a lunar eclipse on Saturday, March 3rd. You could only witness it from Europe and Asia.
  • Bill Maher should run for president. With Jon Stewart as his running mate.
  • Matisyahu will not talk to you or look at you if you happen to see him in a supermarket (Ralphs on Beverwil and Pico).
  • Olivia Wilde is naked in the movie Alpha Dog.
  • Shammond Williams not Kwame Brown makes the Lakers better.
  • I never go to bed before 4am.
  • Hey ebay! Have you heard of this new thing called Web 2.0? Heard of AJAX? Ask your buddy Google. They love it. Why I am still refreshing the auction to count down the final minute? Refresh?!?!? It's 2007. I'll send you the code if you need it.
  • I am bringing sexy back. One blog at a time.

Self Signing SSLIn the era of Web 2.0, can these damn Self-Signed SSL Certificates not display an "error" message? If I am going to login to Plesk, I know I am logging into Plesk. I know that server is using OpenSSL and is encrypting the data transmission with a Self-Signed SSL Cert. I am logging in to manage the server. Why do the browsers insist on telling me something I am well aware of?

SSH alerts me that I am using the default public server key and if I would like to accept it. While I am perfectly aware I will be using the default server key, because I didn't create a private key, the alert is much more of an informational alert than an error message. I couldn't imagine PUTTY reacting to the SSH key the same way IE6 or 7 reacts to Self-Signed SSL. Microsoft treats this as if I just encountered browser intrusion and must take draconian actions to destroy it. I am surprised an alert box doesn't pop up asking me if I want format my hard drive and recreate the partition.

Come on IE, if I am logging into the server, and specifying the SSL port, don't you think a message box notifying me would be more appropriate at this time? I sure think so…don't you?

I haven't really blogged much about TV this past year. I mentioned the OC was ending, which caused a little controversy with some Josh Schwartz fans. Just because I know believe Chuck and Gossip Girl will be as unwatchable as the last season of the OC, doesn't mean I have given up on television. There are still some shows that I hate to miss. And that is why God invented Tivo DVR.

  1. Los Angeles Lakers Games
    I never miss a game, proverbial period.

  2. Entourage
    The best show on TV. I don't care what you Grey's Anatomy, American Idol watching people say.

  3. South Park
    It's the best cartoon ever. The Simpsons are close but no cartoon character can beat Cartman. They are getting better as the years go by. Can't say that about the Simpsons.
  4. Real Time With Bill Maher
    I remember the Comedy Central days. Then 10 years on ABC. Some comments about terrorists and that marriage ended. One year later Bill found a home with HBO. Besides the Daily Show, where else can you learn about the world while laughing your ass off?
  5. The Office
    Many will argue it lacks the dry humor and wit of the original British version. However Ricky Gervase is a producer and I find the show quit funny. In fact I might call it HIlarious.
  6. 30 Rock
    Tracey Morgan = HILARIOUS. Tina Fey = HILARIOUS. Alec Baldwin = HILARIOUS. If you aren't watching this show you are missing out.
  7. Friday Night Lights
    You are definitely not watching this show because its ratings are terrible. While the movie was mediocre at best, the show is one of the best dramas on TV. Football is only a small part of the show. Minka Kelly stars in it. What better reason is there than that?
  8. Miami Ink
    A show about tattoos. It's awesome. Garver is one the best tattoo artist in the world.
  9. The War at Home
    Michael Rapport and his pseudo-realistic family life. It's light hearted and raw. They are always swearing and bleeping it like South Park. The plots are funny and never drag on for half a season. It's a modern day Married with Children. Kaylee DeFer is HOT.
  10. Inked
    A tattoo show based in the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas. Carey Hart owns the place and my old neighbor, Twig, works there. The show is fun but becomes a little too "reality tv" at times. Unlike Miami Ink, do these guys ever tattoo? Hart and Huntington is top tier shop and has a set a new trend of elegance in tattoo shops around the world.
  11. The Hills
    Lauren = HOT. Heidi = HOT. Do I need another reason?
  12. Weeds
    The first season was up and down. The second season was off the hook. All of the characters found their niche. The season finale was intense. It's much more than a show about a suburban mom who sells weed.
  13. Laguna Beach
    More hot, over-privileged high school girls in bikinis. It's awesome brainless fun.
  14. Arrested Development Reruns
    This show was so good even the reruns are worth watching over and over and over again.

Here are few other shows I do happen to miss and for some reason not record. I love 'em but barely watch 'em.

  • Late Night with Conan
  • The Simpsons
  • The Daily Show
  • Coulbert Report
  • Jeopardy
  • The Real World
  • Bam's Holy Union
  • Heros
  • SNL
  • Las Vegas

I am sure I missed a few good shows. That list should cover most of it. So set your DVRs and start watching. If only I could get this damn Timewarner DVR to boot. Phuking cable company, can you do anything right?
