My bluetooth loves to make calls. It really loves to hang up calls. It especially likes to hang up as I am in the middle of a sentence. I guess this goes hand and hand with making calls while my phone, and bluetooth, are both in my pocket.

Since the bluetooth seems to have a mind of its own, with a wicked sence of humor, I have decided that my bluetooth needs to take the blame more often.

If a project is a late, bluetooth’s fault. If I am late, bluetooth’s fault. High gas prices, low bank balance, all bluetooth’s fault. Iraq, bad intelligence via bluetooth. Ran out of weed? Bluetooth smoked it. Looking for the leftovers from last night? Bluetooth ate them. Wondering why your favorite show didn’t Tivo…bluetooth canceled the season pass.

See what I mean? It’s very easy to blame bluetooth. So the next time the cops are questioning you about that 19 16-year-old girl you met at the Hannah Montana concert, just blame bluetooth.

I finally did it. While waiting for some ranking reports to finish, I finished the upgrade of Wordpress 2.5. Holy-phuking-shit it is much better. Not just the back-end. I have noticed the front-end (the website) loads much faster too.

Since this is an upgrade, I upgraded the design…slightly. I changed the font, font-size and link color in the posts. I am still messing with sIFR for the post titles. I want to have some calligraphy headlines. I am also working on a new social bookmarking plugin.

So enjoy…I know I will.

I think I am too old for this. After the OC, I don’t think I have patience for this anymore. I’ll check it out, but I don’t think I will last past the second episode.

1. Holy shit jenkem my Lakers are in the Western Finals.
2. Getting the office wired for $300…that includes a wireless router and 16port switch.
3. Big Brown killed the preakness…not literally this time.
4. The new Death Cab album sounds like a polished remix of their last 3 albums.
5. Calling it now: Cleveland will beat Boston in Boston. It’s 13 hours and 30 minutes before the game.

I just finished my first facebook app. Let me rephrase that. I just started and finished my first facebook app…in under an hour.

Not to go on another rant about API’s, but Facebook utilizes REST…and this shit be done quick. I have only scratched the surface of what this can do.

This is my “Hello World” App.

App Name: Who is the biggest douche?
App URL: apps.facebook.com/biggestdouche
App Desc: A myriad of complex algorithms, on par with Google’s Latent Semantic Indexing, quickly scan your facebook friends and find the biggest DOUCHE!

So there it is. My first facebook app. Enjoy! And don’t be offended if you happen to pop-up…it’s just a joke…sorta. This is Beta so please send me any feedback. Thoughts and suggestions will be completely ignored but it’s fun to hear stupid ideas anyway.

update: I am looking for a replacement video. Youtube has removed this video. New Working Video

I will keep this short and quick. I won’t throw in any spoilers but I must say, it’s the same movie. They didn’t create anything new. They followed the formula of the first movie and thought it would work again. Kal Penn and John Cho phoned in their performances. At times they seemed really disinterested with the characters.

It doesn’t help that both actors are telling reporters that they do not smoke pot and Kal Penn is a vegetarian. Way to ruin the suspension of disbelief.

The first one is a timeless cult classic. This one had some funny moments.

Moments…

If you take a look at the line-up for this summer’s Rock The Bells tour, you will notice something quite evident…hip hop is dead. Well hip hop the culture will never die, but rap is DEAD!

Look at the line-up. It’s every act from the mid 90s. Tribe, Pharcyde, Meth and Red, Ghostface and Raekwon, Nas and Mos Def.

Where are the new rappers? What Da Phuk happened?

• Lakers lost Lakers are 6 - 1
•  9:30am Sat workout kicked my ass.
• Harold on Kumar was pretty disapponting.
• Mother’s day brunch at Coogies tomorrow.
• Damn, that shit is spicy b.

If only every single API in the world used REST. Representational State Transfer to be exact. It’s so brilliant, yet so simple. It’s one of those things that you look at and think, why the phuk wasn’t this thought of years ago? How could we have been so stupid. Why the phuk do I have to decrypt a WSDL file for Netsuite? Why in the world do I need struggle and spend my entire Sunday debugging the nusoap library because the SOAP headers aren’t properly formatted. Why?

Yes, I am pissed! When I take a look at Twitters API which utilizes the REST architecture, I can’t believe how easy it is. It’s natural language. I construct the URL based upon the info I am trying to receive, and by changing the extension I can control how I receive the response.

It’s so phuking simple: 

http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/lakeshowonline.rss

That’s the Twitter timeline for lakeshowline. If I want to include the friend list, I change user_timeline to friend_timeline. If I want to pull a different user, I change lakeshowonline.rss to whatdaphuk.rss. Want a serialized JavaScript array instead of RSS? lakeshowonline.rss to lakeshowonline.json

Holy phuk, a 3 year old can do this. Will someone please euthanize the developer of SOAP and the god-awful WSDL?!? It’s unbelievable that this is now only coming into use via the Web 2.0 API’s. Why did we make Webservices (SOAP, XML-RPC) so complicated when it could be so easy? Then again, why is George Bush president?

Seriously, if your API isn’t utilizing REST, go phuking fix it.
