Dear Tumblr,
I am no longer “confessions” and will now be known as “Pilnick.” Unfortunately this change will break any real old links (before I started using the custom domain) but it’s inevitable. At some point I’ll probably drop the “challenged confessions” name altogether but I’ll leave it for now to curb confusion and because I don’t have a better name yet.
-Brian
PS. To my non-Tumblr readers, ignore this. Cool people only.
The AFI Top 100 Movies… In 5 Words Each from Spill.com is amazing. Here are two of my favorites:
32) The Godfather Part II (1974)
Advice: stop after this one.54) All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)
Except for a sniper. Shit.
Ones I like:
15) Star Wars (1977)
Lucas eventually ruins this: “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
26) Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)
We are so fucking screwed.
Could somebody suggest a Firefox plugin that converts MySpace pages (and only MySpace pages) into a text-only form?
This firefox plugin completely gets rid of the annoying aspects of MySpace.
I just had a freaking awful nightmare:
I woke up and I couldn’t see properly, I got out of bed, went to a mirror and my pupils had melted. I freaked and started screaming for an ambulance.
Then I actually woke up.
I didn’t know that false wake up thing actually happened in real life.
I had a dream the other night where I was lying in bed, unable to move, and I heard noises as if people were rummaging through my apartment. It got really weird when I realized I was dreaming but still couldn’t tell when I woke up since I was lying in bed either way.
Also reminds me of the punishment Sandman (not the Spider-Man one) bestows upon his captor: eternal waking. The guy thinks he wakes up only to discover something horrible or gruesome happening then waking up again to find the some other twisted thing, over and over and over again.
So AT&T/Apple have finally lifted the veil on most of the pricing issues surrounding the iPhone 3G and it looks like everything I said here turned out correct. To summarize, the advertised price is the discounted upgrade price (which is really odd since it’s also the new subscriber price) and the data plan doesn’t include text messages. (I still don’t know if they’ll allow corporate discounts though.) So if anyone tells you the new iPhone is cheaper, they’re deluded.
EDIT: Customer service says “We do not think that you will be able to use any corporate discount with the iPhone or the iPhone plans.”
Everyone has heard you should unplug your cell phone chargers to reduce ‘vampire power’ usage but how much does it actually amount to?
David performs some tests and concludes that these chargers use maybe 0.01-0.05 kWh per day; over a year, that’s the equivalent of a skipping a single bath (5 kWh per pop), or driving 6 minutes less annually (average driver being 40 kWh per day). David makes the point that all else being equal, you should of course unplug the charger. On balance though, better to go stinky for one day or lose a convienence store run.
