A co-worker shared this with me and I had to post it on The Diatribe because it’s just so freaking cool. It starts out pretty simple, but watch until about half-way in when the dolphins start re-sizing the rings and spinning them. Outrageous!

May 28th, 2008New best of the web
May 5th, 2008Best of the web hasn’t been around for a while.. so, I came up with a new option courtesy of >a href=”http://reader.google.com”>Google Reader. Any items that are marked as shared will appear in the headlines to the right.
The link in the top nav now points somewhere good now, too — to my Shared Google Reader Page. This should help keep these items new and fresh… How fun!
Improv Everywhere
March 11th, 2008You may have seen these guys before — they’re a troupe known as Improv Everywhere that does improvisational randomness at fun public places. Some of their previous mischievous projects included: Installing a bathroom attendant in the Times Square McDonalds, invading Best Buy with hundreds of volunteers dressed in blue polo shirts and khakis (standard Best Buy Garb) to confuse the unsuspecting shoppers, among others.
I found this latest assignment particularly entertaining and wanted to share.. Enjoy the show.
IE 8?
March 5th, 2008I just found out there’s a new beta version of Internet Explorer 8…. Do people even use Internet Explorer 7? Do people even know that IE 7 exists? I doubt it.
Just download Firefox and be done with it.
My First Gadget
February 25th, 2008I decided that it was about time that I taught myself how to create Google Gadgets. I work with them here and there for my job, but I also wanted to see what they’re all about. I’ve heard from plenty of people how fun they are to make (and I have to agree). It’s a pretty cool API and I think they’re fairly extensible.
I figured my first gadget should be something for The Diatribe. So, I created a customizable gadget that can sit on you iGoogle page showing the most recent headlines from The Diatribe. You can also create a customizable icon of your favorite Diatribe author.
To add the gadget to your iGoogle homepage, click the button below (or the new link on the right hand sidebar). Let me know what you think.. suggestions are welcome!
Add it to iGoogle:
Worst Ad Format — Ever
January 25th, 2008As someone who has worked in online advertising for over 6 years, I can say that this type of ad format is the worst i’ve ever seen.
Pay Per Play Audio Ads — meaning, a 5 second audio ad will play when you get to a site.
Uhh.. Please, publishers, don’t do this to us.
