Your silence is what I love. The dead silence is what kills me. When I speak, you listen. But, only to the parts you want to hear. When you speak, little is said. But, every word is gold to my ears. It’s the silence that kills me. The dead silence. The color of silence is gray. Dead silence is black. Like your eyes. They sparkle when it’s the silence I love.

I decided to post a standard message on CraigsList, but the last sentence of the post will be something to cause the reader to question the post. Nothing dirty. Just something to make someone wonder about the intention of the poster. I plan to do this often, and I will document the post replies here.

My first one is a call o fishermen on strictly platonic in Denver, CO.

Post:

Looking for fishing buddy to hit the streams around Colorado. Must be ok with catch and release along with cleaning up trash around the area. Also, must have a three inch clearance when opening your mouth.

Look forward to meeting you and the fishing!

Hey

 
                My name is xxxx 29 M. I have always wanted to go fishing,
but never had a chance. I have never been fishing, but I would like to try.
And cleaning up the trash - not a problem, even though I do not understand
why you need a 3" clearance? Let me know if you want to go fishing sometime.

Not bad for a first post. Reply #1 didn't even question the 3" line. They are the crazy one.

The new iPhone is fastly approaching. (June, experts say) High speed 3G wireless internet being the major upgrade. It got us thinking at work about other features we'd like to have for our iPhones. So, a group of us at work decided to make a list. 1. Battery!!! 2. Contact Butto 3. Copy & Paste 4. 3G 5. Button Background 6. A microwave 7. Voice Dialing 8. Homepage On Browser 9. No Interference 10. Bluetooth Upgrade 11. Angelina Jolie's Number 12. A Decent Product 13. Louder As you can see, there are three other preferred options we'd like to have before the precious 3G. The first being the battery, please energizer bunny save us!!!! After the list lingered on my white board for about a week I decided to re-vamp the list to my own wishes, just in case Apple or AT&T is reading. 1. Battery!!! 2. 3. Contact Button 3. 2. Copy & Paste 4. 3G 5. 6. Button Background (I think this means a background on the home screen, bling.) 6. A microwave (HA!!, funny.) 7. 5. Voice Dialing 8. Homepage On Browser ( This isn't nessissary, really, not even sure why I mentioned it. :/ ) 9. 7. No Interference 10. 8. Bluetooth Upgrade (Bluetooth isn't stereo? Like anyone is going to listen to the iPhone.) 11. Angelina Jolie's Number (Another funny! I wanted Alba, but we need someone to appeal to women and men.) 12. A Decent Product (This was added by the I.T. guy. He hates Apple.) 13. 9. Louder Still, 3G is a lesser desired feature than other, more productive, wishes. OK Apple, your ball. Man, I can't wait for the new iPhone to come out.

Chicken timer rang. I set it for 30 minutes. Laundry is down. To the elevator. Button pressed; another bell. Doors open; Sarah. Long smile; long pause. How come no one talks on an elevator? Four floors left, and you stay silent. Here is your chance. Break the silence, effect the world, and rage against a standard. Pretty girl; two floors left. Ready? “Hi, I have a chicken timer.”

this pen tracing my soul (my heart, my mind) only to pick up the tip (nib, point) looking at stone white paper not even a mark I spend hours trying to match the words to the visions in my head Once again to pick up my pen looking only at messy lines forming something between truth and dreams nothing that truly makes sense sticks to the paper But, everything worth reading comes out of this pen

My boss was looking around for some flash sourced inspiration and found this development platform called Processing. It's quite impressive. Here is an example of a movie made with Processing. Great song, and the movie is amazing. Solar, with lyrics. from flight404 on Vimeo See how the dots turn into words from the song. Very cool! I love Goldfrapp. That alone is inspiration enough.

It’s October again, time for something new. Same ol Same ol. Coffee Shop, rainy day games getting boring. Seems exciting, but after six weeks something new is needed. September is gone. October is here. Time to go

If you send a zip, exe, osx, dll, com, bat, or any other "dangerous" file as an attachment in gmail, it'll claim it's malicious and refuse to send it. You could use file transfers like box.net, megaupload and rapidshare. But they cost $$ and you need to train the receiver on how to get the file. So, here is a tip: If it's a zip file, rename the extension of the file from ".zip" to ".dat" and send it! This goes for dll, exe, osx, bat, and com (haha) files too. If you have more than one badass file, zip them all up and rename the extension to .dat first. Then send it!!!
