Oh snap! I’m thinking that maybe I want a new 2008 Honda Accord Coupe 
to help tame my gas expenditure. This year they are not just a honda accord sedan with the third and fourth door welded shut but a sleek, shiny, bundle of greatness that resembles the Infinity G35. Check it out for yourself at Honda. My perfect edition below:
I am currently in San Jose, CA at the Graphing Social Patterns conference. Today I spent the whole day in the development panels: Facebook App Dev 101 & 102.
The first panel was conducted by Tyler Balance of Slide on the basics of developing with the facebook API. He covered the pro’s and con’s developing with PHP, Python, Ruby, and .NET in conjunction with XML and JSON. Lucky for us we got to dip our hands in the source code of the “Why are you awsome?” app developed by Tyler and got a personal run through of how the application interfaces with facebook using FBML and fQL . The nice thing about FBML is that it releaves a ton of the load from your server and gently gives it to facebook for processing. FQL allows the developer to access limited information from the facebook database using nested queries. The use of joins and unions is currently unsupported.
The second panel was given by Jia Shen of RockYou with a crash course on deploying a newly developed app using facebook’s developer console. We got to create the PHP file from scratch, and follow Jia as we created our first semi-functional app! Exciting isn’t it! Here are some useful links I gathered from todays mental massage:
So far it looks like PHP is the language of choice for application development. I guess it is a matter of preference….or money 
Anyways, until tomorrow, Happy Programming!
With only 4 hours of sleep and a hangover we got to Austin City Limits around noon just in time to see young love. We then made our way to the tent to get out of the sun and saw The Legendary Soul Stirrers. They day was extremely hot. We must have drank 7 bottles of water a piece and still left the show dehydrated. The MUSE put on one of the best shows I have seen in a very long time. The set list included (although a song may be missed):
Knights of Cydonia
Map Of the Problematique
Hysteria
Supermassive Balck Hole
Butterflies & Hurricanes
Feeling Good( piano instrumental outro)
Sunburn
Sodliers Poem
Invincible
Starlight
New Born
Time is Running Out
Plug in Baby ( Balloons released)
Encore:
John F Kennedy speech
Take a Bow
Micro Cuts
Stockholm Syndrome (Outro)
They were absolutely amazing!!!!! Pictures coming soon..
If you haven’t heard the cover of this muse song yet then you are missing out. It is really awsome!

Seems to me that comcast is a crappy company. First, I have been playing video games online for years and I have yet to see a good response whenever someone mentions the word “Comcast” in chat. Second, this snippet from the newsletter tells me that I am downgrading:
“ Your lucky number is 7: Now everyone in the house can have a personal address.
With Comcast High-Speed Internet, you get up to 7 email accounts. As we notified you a few weeks ago, if you had more than 7 email accounts with Road Runner high-speed Internet, you had to select the 7 you wished to keep. If you didn?t, the first 7 accounts that you created were automatically reserved for you to transfer to Comcast.net, and the others were deleted.”
My lucky number is 7?? So you’re telling me that I am lucky that my amount of available email addresses are lower than what I had with Time Warner! Bah! Oh, and don’t forget the cool new features:
“So what does this transition mean for you? Cool features.
Comcast means speed, primo tools and airtight security. Now you can download at crazy-fast speeds. Listen to almost every song under the sun with Rhapsody? Radio Plus. With Comcast Photo Center, you can create slide shows and share digital pictures with friends and family. Feel safe and secure with state-of-the-art security by McAfee. And much more.”
Last time I checked McAfee was about as useful as a pair of dead batteries and everyone in the world uses Picassa or Flickr for any photo gallery material.
I just don’t get it. Why does Time Warner have to sell to a sub-par company? If things don’t get any better then I guess its off to AT&T. I guess I’m just in that kind of mood
For this segment of only in Texas part 1 the Zangirolami’s and friends go to Taylor lake to prove that the face plant really exists.

I think that being abducted by aliens, filming it with a grainy black and white camcorder, and using premier to make it look somewhat realistic is more credible than global warming. While reading fark, I stumbled upon this article at BC’s blog. I think that #7 on the list is the best #7 I have in a while.
“7: Climate Alarmists: There’s nothing more arrogant than thinking you actually understand the environment and patterns of climate change in any but the grossest ways. It’s as irrational as believing in creationism. But even more illogical is the belief that humans can change climate trends which have been building for millenia by harvesting cow farts and driving cars made out of paper mache. None of it makes sense, but it does make a wonderful justification for expanding the power of international treaty organizations and bashing the US for not bending over backwards to sign away our economic security and national sovereignty when you try to scare us with the ‘big stick’ of global warming. Why don’t you build a big biodome and see how many people want to move in and join your socialist utopia? Removing all the hot air you spew from the ecosystem would probably save us all.“
Just plain beautiful.
Google has taken maps to a new level. You can now display the street level and see photos of the buildings and areas you want to visit. They haven’t taken pictures of the whole world yet, but they’re getting to it. In the future it would be fun to locate the truck in Houston and get in a picture. Here is an example of two women unknowingly caught sunbathing.
