Read or not read is it a good or bad thing to know?

by Shawn on Feb.28, 2010, under online dating

After writing several emails to numerous women hoping to get at least a few responses back, I have to ask is knowing your message is read a good thing? I guess I am questioning it because at times when I go through writing so many messages with actual thought and lend themselves to interaction, that knowing they read it and never responded can be a bit disappointing. Of course knowing that they read and deleted it doesn’t leave you questioning their intentions. With the variety of sites that some offer it while others don’t or they do at a cost, is it really worth knowing. Regardless, I play the numbers and waiting game hoping that my attempt at witty banter and their taste includes bald guys who mostly take not so great pictures.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to have a way to know on some of the sites whether a person has a paid membership but of course that would lower the dating site’s marketing chances enticing people to pay for the membership to see who contacted them.

New Dating rules!

by Shawn on Feb.11, 2010, under online dating profile new rules

Stop giving the peace sign in pictures, seriously, you look like an idiot. I am sure when you take the picture you think you look cool and instead you look like:

As you can see they pulled both the stupid looking horizontal peace sign and the duck face!

Then there is the other big stupid pose people do, the makes me want to punch babies in the face when I see it,duck face. Here is a prime example from Miley Cyrus and know that this is the only reason I would look or post a picture of her.

As you can see how stupid people look, don’t be one of those or you will be put on the anti duckface site
Hit the jump for a few more duckface gems.

Hold my beer, I’m going to try something

by Shawn on Feb.07, 2010, under Uncategorized

I’ve never been that big fan of monster trucks.  I do admit if I see one I’m in awe of the sheer size of some but other then that they don’t do much for me.  That being said I was emailed a pretty cool monster truck trick.  I will say one thing, they have some big balls to try this.  Check it out.

online dating pictures- seriously just stop

by Shawn on Jan.28, 2010, under online dating profile new rules

I’m a guy and I like to see boobs and cleavage but if you are doing nothing but up close face shots and other pictures with your cleavage or the ever so popular 500 feet away in the picture to look thin, seriously stop, you aren’t fooling anyone.

What they post

Then you are faced with the reality when you meet in person. Then you see the girl in the picture above swallowed by this one.

Adobe basically says FU Apple

by Shawn on Jan.28, 2010, under Uncategorized

While I understand the security and resource concerns with not including flash it’s still irritating that Apple hasn’t and won’t find a way to include it on either the Ipad or Iphone/Ipod Touch. Reading the Gizmodo comments about HTML 5 I can only hope the popular sites will switch to it like Hulu, Jibjab, and Break.com.

I really like Adobe’s stance on flash being denied on Apple products:

It looks like Apple is continuing to impose restrictions on their devices that limit both content publishers and consumers. Unlike many other ebook readers using the ePub file format, consumers will not be able to access ePub content with Apple’s DRM technology on devices made by other manufacturers. And without Flash support, iPad users will not be able to access the full range of web content, including over 70% of games and 75% of video on the web.

If I want to use the iPad to connect to Disney, Hulu, Miniclip, Farmville, ESPN, Kongregate, or JibJab — not to mention the millions of other sites on the web — I’ll be out of luck.

Adobe and more than 50 of our partners in the Open Screen Project are working to enable developers and content publishers to deliver to any device, so that consumers have open access to their favorite interactive media, content, and applications across platform, regardless of the device that people choose to use.

Pants on the ground remix

by Shawn on Jan.19, 2010, under Uncategorized

What most likely will haunt us when we can’t get the song out of our heads, you get the remix to plague you even further!

Great remix from American Idol auditions of 60 something year old guy singing his own song. I guess they let someone like that appear in front of the judges just for the comic relief?

Best MW2 kill

by Shawn on Jan.06, 2010, under Gaming, Uncategorized, Youtube clips

Lol, if I played a sniper on MW2, I would think it was me that gets killed in such an embarrassing way.  Luckily my ineptitude in MW2 isn’t this well documented.  Very funny.
