Broken Picture Telephone

Remember that telephone game as a kid? One person would start a message and then whisper it to the next kid and eventually it would morph and change based on how they heard it? Now imagine doing it on the internet but instead of whispers you use text and pictures, alternating back and forth. That is exactly what Broken Picture Telephone is.

Bookmarklets

Bookmarklets are little peices of javascript disguised as bookmarks that you can run on any site. They let you do things like Resize forms. You can test it out by dragging it into your bookmarks toolbar and trying it out on the comments section.

Other good bookmarklets I’ve come across are:

  • BugMeNot for getting past registration quickly on large sites.
  • is.gd for making urls smaller, similar to tinyurl except an even smaller url.
  • You can also download videos from youtube and other places with this link (not a bookmarklet)

Highschool Buddies

I have this friend from highschool who repeats conversations.

I’m not sure if he forgets that he’s said it or he just has run out of things to say.

Sometimes I like to play out the conversations differently to get a different reaction.  You may call this cruel but I figure, why go through the same experience twice?

And if I did do it the same way more than once then I could start off by saying “Remember when you told  me about…” and I’d remember he told me that twice, or three times.
