Testing New Twitter Plugin

I’m trying a new Twitter plugin, below should be my last 5 Twitter posts:

UPDATE: OK, forgot to set me cache to writable, now it should be working…

Fox News.

Fox News LogoI really try to not be political on here. I usually feel that if you’re interested in my politics, you’ll ask. I don’t really want you sharing your views on Iraq, abortion or gay marriage, so I figure it’s fair to not vomit my ideas on you.

That being said, I know many people who watch Fox News and believe it to be a legitimate news source. Now, I realize that all news sources are biased, I’m not going to pretend that one is better than other, but Fox News has an interesting history of skewing the truth, mmmm, out right lying.

Now, I watch the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, which I realize is liberal swill, but from time to time they point out something important and relevant to society. I believe the following two clips are such. The biggest revelation, to me anyway, is Fox News isn’t a news channel except from 9:00am to 4:00pm, and from 6:00pm to 8:00pm, essentially the people generally associated with Fox News, and their slogan “fair and balanced” (eg: Neil Cavudo, Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Greta Van Susteren), are not delivering the news, they are entertainment. And thus, can distort the “news” anyway they see fit, just like Family Guy, Star Trek or The Colbert Report. I have people very close to me that watch Fox News because they agree with it’s bias, and there’s nothing wrong with having a conservative bias, but a bias based upon distorted truth and fear-mongering is wrong. Be conservative, be liberal, just be honest.

UPDATE: So, a friend of mine, Mr. Bruce Pearson of Garage Voice fame, shared this link with me: Breaking News: 193% Is The New 100%. It just kind of illustrated the point I was trying to make, and made me giggle, so I thought I’d pass it along.

Anyway, here are the clips that illustrated the points to me:

My DailyMugshot

I, like Dallas and Alan, have been a attempting to take a photo of myself everyday and posting it for the masses to consume. I should have probably just gone with the classic MySpace, self-taken shot, but instead have been indulging in DailyMugshot.Com Below I’ve attached my MugShow, so you too can see my wonderful progression. I’ve missed a could days, my apologies, but even though it’s only been 14 photos, it’s already kind of cool. Enjoy!

iPhone Design Template

So, I’ve been trying to find a good wireframe design template for iPhone design. There are numerous PSD’s for stock layouts and there’s this, this and this. I wanted something like the first, but didn’t want to pay for it, I liked the idea of the second, but again didn’t want to pay for it. And the third was closer, but not quite right.

Anyway, this is what I came up with, it works for me and thought I’d share it. Any and all ideas, critiques and thoughts are welcome.
