Digital Stupidity [privacy is dead]

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009
Found a guy tweeting in Rowlett via an automated google search.

Went and looked through his tweets (f*ck Rowlett cops & etc),
then looked at the twitpics ( half are pictures of guns and weed),
then ended up on his blog… checked the whois registrant address..
low and behold he does actually live in Rowlett.

Now the question, do I bother telling the police about this, or just marvel about his stupidity?

For the Tin Foil Hat types

Don’t want Google tracking your every search and click? Want a better interface to search results? Try out the GreaseMonkey script GoogleMonkeyR

googlemonkey

I found this script on Lifehacker when they posted it a while back. Since that posting they have added more features only making it better. I’ve been using it sense the original posting on LH and love it. If you don’t use Firefox as your browser this isn’t for you. Sorry I’m not aware of other browsers using the Greasemonkey addon.

Do you have an addon for Firefox that you can’t live without? Sound off on twitter or the comments below.

I created a list of Twitter users related to the EMAC & ATEC programs at UT Dallas, to see the list, click below:

This list contains, current, former students as well as professors.

If you click on that link you will be able to see then follow all or some of the people on the list after authorizing the Tweepml website to access your account temporarily. If you feel wary about giving out your twitter password you can either manually follow the users in the list, or, you can do it, then change your password.

Think of the list as:

  1. Way to keep up with what’s going on w\your fellow students. #artshows #parties
  2. Suggestions from former and current students about classes and professors.
  3. ….

You fill in the rest of the possibilities in the comments…

Also, if you know of anymore names that should be added to that list, @got80s or post them in the comments.

The Grocery Store [repost]

From my old blog:

I was in the isle that had the crackers on it and I was looking at something and a small black boy came around the corner and in a not so quiet voice said, “And this is the isle with the crackers”.

Thinking to myself…why yes, this is the isle with the cracker on it.
