1900 Predictions (via del.icio.us) — jeez, some of these are totally off-base, but others are right on the money. Dude, a really fast cross-country train would rock. What are your predictions for 2107?
Blogger Predicts Virginia Tech Shooting (via reddit)– you know, when I first heard about the shooting on TV in my hotel room at NAB, I turned to Mario and said “why does this always seem to happen this week in April?” Turns out, at least according to this blogger, that the beginning of spring marks “school shooting season”. Do we, the media, have a responsibility to tone down coverage of these horrific events so as not to motivate copycats?
The Gender Genie (via del.icio.us) — wow. I copy and pasted a recent Today’s 5, and it knew I was female… very interesting. See if it can guess your gender… let’s see how accurate it is.
SimpleWeather (via del.icio.us) — I guess it’s a delicious day. If you love weather.com, but hate all the ads, check it out. It’s simple, just like the name promises.
Lazy cat on a treadmill (via reddit) — this video is just too funny. Is he trying to take a nap, or get his head rubbed?
And oops! I forgot to include my ABC show in yesterday’s links. Here ya go:
Apparently, I’m female. You can’t really count that as an inaccuracy because, well, I sort-of consider myself female, not really tho. But I’m rather feminine.
“Do we, the media, have a responsibility to tone down coverage of these horrific events so as not to motivate copycats?” Heck of a question Amanda, and deserves a good response but I’m not all here today, gonna be moving soon to Texas and I’m just not all here. Oh btw I tried that gender genie, I used my comment from yesterdays five and it said Female Score: 128
Male Score: 317, neat. Also the cat video was so awwww.
Gender Genie!! Sometimes it thought I was strongly male, other times strongly female! Even nearly just about the same on one occasion. It depended which blog article I pasted in, and probably the mood I was in! I don’t think it is an accurate tool overall, but a bit of fun. I like this: http://www.likebetter.com/ and it has made some good guesses about me over time.
We are kind of partial to animal videos We thought the cat was cool. He looked like he could get head burn though.
