I’ve been to a lot of Red Sox games over the years, but last night was a tough on to top. I think this beats out the Mother’s Day Miracle, that I witnessed last year, which was previously the most amazing thing I had seen at Fenway.
Side note…why is there no place to get embeddable video highlights of MLB games? What a joke.
While kicking around app ideas here at the office, I had an idea for what I think could be the worst iPhone app ever. It’d be dead simple to build, and I’d call it “iPhone Discus”. Basically it would use the phone’s built in GPS to see how far you could throw your iPhone. Enter a location, throw, record location. That’s it.
On Quibblo.com, we draw a young audience…mainly 13-17 year old kids. And today’s featured poll was this gem:
Now forget about the results, I found one of the comments to be the most telling.
i was going to pick my thumb but i need it for texting!! lol
Think about this. Given the options here, this youngster decided that the most agreeable decision was to part ways with his thumb. Upon further analysis, he was swayed not when he realized how drastically this would impact his entire life, but rather when he realized that missing a thumb would slow down his ability to exchange text messages with his friends.
Unbelievable.
T-Mobile, Verizon, Cingular, etc…are you listening? Send ad budgets my way immediately.
I admit it, I use the gay little status updates on Facebook, and I even do it from my Blackberry (because I AM SO COOL). However, using this little update feature out of boredom while waiting for my train to leave, or food to be ready is one thing. Starting a facebook group and petitioning facebook to remove the “is” from the string is another.
We can’t stand the fact that Facebook forces you to use the word “is” in your status update. Join this group to tell Facebook to remove “is” from status updates. No more “John Smith is wanting ice cream”. Instead, the much easier and nicer: “John Smith wants ice cream”.
My suggestion is that they remove these 160,000 people from Facebook with a few clicks from out there in Palo Alto, and change the “is” to “is whining about” and then append “on facebook” to the end.
For instance:
Andrew is whining about the anti-”is” nits on facebook
I hate the internet.
