It should be the last time. Point your feed reader, or your bookmark, at http://blog.bobbymartin.name. I own the domain (of course) and I installed Wordpress so I can have more control over it. If I ever decide to move it again, I'll just set up a redirect on my webserver so you don't have to update your bookmark or feedreader again. I expect to be posting more often, and on more topics, since now you can set up feedreaders just for the topics you're interested in. I tried to keep this one focused on things I thought lots of people would find interesting, not just people who know me, or super-nerds. Current Mood:  excited February 17th, 200902:59 pm: Another Thing I Did
^^ Sample video from our iPhone app^^I'm back to my old blog for a bit... My up-to-date blog is still at http://wurp.blogspot.com, but I cross post when it's important. Like a way for you to send me money. So, here's Another Thing I Did: Pharce is novelty software that lets iPhone users create mocking, cute, or funny videos from pictures in their iPhoto Library. Such pictures can come from photos the user takes with the iPhone, photographs they "synced" with the iPhone from their computer, or images saved from the web. Check out the list of videos people have posted to YouTube using the app. Once the user has selected a picture from their iPhoto Library, they draw a mouth on it and record a soundtrack. Then a blocky Monty Python-esque jaw moves along with the sound to create a movie. The user can add sound effects (including the ubiquitous iPhone fart), animations, and props. Users can send their videos to non-iphone users, or post it on YouTube! Use it to have your picture of little Johnny say something cute, make your dog talk, or mock your boss. Buy it so I can be rich! BTW, I didn't come up with the original idea or do the art. Thank Frank Jones and Frank Corrieri for that. I did write the damn thing.

November 6th, 200608:21 pm: Track your stuff; bum your friends' stuff
I finally have a first fully working version of my new site online. It's MoochMuch, and it helps you find & bum cool stuff from your friends, track which friend has what, and reminds you & your friends to return stuff. Sign up, list some stuff, and tell some of your mooching friends so you can make sure you get your crap back. I've already found five or six things I forgot I had loaned out since I told my friends about it, and now I don't have to remember who has what. Tags: friends, mooching, social networking
July 4th, 200611:43 pm: Little Giant Girl
  I highly recommend listening to the soundtrack while you view her. I'm not sure if the video is enchanting or disturbing, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Electric Pig produced the video and has a few more interesting ones under the "show reels" and "motion" menus. Tags: giant puppet, little girl
June 29th, 200610:53 pm: Hippie retro camping trip
 Get your LSD and your portable phonograph, and limber up, 'cause we're going on a hippie retro camping trip! Some dude invented this bicycle camper in the '30s. If I were single, I would want one today. Tags: bicycle, camper, retro
10:46 pm: Cousin It gets freaky
 Actually, it's some kind of weird electrostatically charged pulsing ceramic ball. Don't ask me, I just blog the stuff. Tags: cousin it, static electricity, wtf
June 20th, 200610:24 am: Things you would rather a customer service rep not know...
More funnies from teh Bash: Hekili_Manu: Ok. So I called my bank's fraud dept about that hotels.com letter I got since I apparently used them twice with two different cards. I forgot completely that when I signed up you can assign your own security question online. Hekili_Manu: So when I called and spoke to the guy they use the same security question and he asked me "Ok, I just need to verify one thing. How big is your c**k?" Tags: bash, funnies
12:18 am: Just a reminder
 Sell your crap on Frimp. Tell your friends. I'm also working on something new that I think is pretty interesting. I'll keep you posted here once it's good enough to show off. Tags: frimp, sell your crap, teaser
12:14 am: Bad Fucking Ass
 When the video starts, you're going to think this is one of those narcissistic pretty-boy work out guys showing how bad ass he thinks he is. You'll be wrong. This is one seriously bad ass motherfucker. He obviously has an ego the size of the iceberg that sank the Titanic, but considering that he out-Jackies Jackie Chan in his prime, I think he's earned it. Tags: bad ass motherfucker, jackie chan, russian
June 19th, 200610:58 pm: Flying Dude
 This looks really fucking dangerous. The video is much clearer than this picture. As Douglas Adams says, the art of flying is the art of throwing yourself at the ground and missing. This guy does it, but not by much. Tags: flying dude, fucking dangerous
10:48 pm: Do-It-Yourself Impeachment
 If you think your elected officials are letting you down, give 'em the boot! Check out this online movement to impeach Bush. Tags: bush sucks, diy, impeachment
10:38 pm: Beef up your brain
 If you find yourself unable to concentrate on miniscule details to the exclusion of all else for hours at a time, maybe transcranial magnetic stimulation is for you. Check out this article in Discover - maybe in a few years you'll strap on a silly hat before sitting down to a long coding session. They've already made some progress... Tags: autism, transcranial magnetic stimulation
June 15th, 200611:38 pm: Cool color illusion
 Believe it or not, after letting your eyes adjust to this image for 30 seconds, then swapping the image out for one in black & white, you'll see a clear and detailed color photograph of a beautiful spanish castle. Click through & follow the instructions. Tags: optical illusion
11:28 pm: Thag Goldberg device
 Ever wonder what unpopular cavemen did on Saturday night? Tags: rube goldberg, sticks and stones
June 11th, 200609:25 pm: Poor Man's Q
 Whether you need to go on a secret mission on a budget, or if you just want to jack with your friends' (or enemies'!) day, this is the resource for you. From fast-acting emetics to UV spray to hidden cameras, they have it all. I also ran across a couple of other likely looking places for the aspiring spy... Tags: equipment, spy
