Link Crazy, Bwahaha!, I'm A Dork
You know all the avatars people are using on the Net? I even had one...from
FaceYourManga.com. Well, evidently I'm not the only one who grew tired of them. I learned earlier that there's
a site dedicated to stopping the Manga.
These people are pretty gung-ho about ending this Manga madness. They have a page dedicated to the
Worst Offenders...basically people who use
Twitter and have been reported to StopTheManga.com as offenders.
This is crackin' me up bigtime!
They've also got a
Reformed section for people who've come to their senses and let the Mangatar die. I would fall into that category. Only I'm an offender on a much bigger level! I even created a
short bus for all of us!
I don't totally hate the Manga avatars. I just grew tired of using it for my default pictures. I need variety. I'd also like to make it clear that I'm not saying everyone should stop using the Mangatars. I think they're cute and useful. The only reason I'm sharing this with everyone is because I think it's so funny. I mean, someone built an entire site dedicated to the loathing of Mangatars?
It reminds me of the
Anti-Croc Movement and the
Rachael Ray Sucks Community. (Which I just happen to be long time member of. Hahaha)
I guess there's something seriously screwy in my head to enjoy this type of stuff so much. Must be the Dark Side.

Altruism, Blogs, Holidays
I will be participating in Blog Action Day this year. I thought I'd post something about it now so that people who've not heard of it yet will have time to really think things out and decide how they are going to participate. I think it would be awesome if we all pulled together on October 15th and do our best to make a difference. This year's topic is Poverty.
"Blog Action Day is an annual nonprofit event that aims to unite the world’s bloggers, podcasters, and videocasters, to post about the same issue on the same day. Our aim is to raise awareness and trigger a global discussion.
First and last, the purpose of Blog Action Day is to create a discussion. We ask bloggers to take a single day out of their schedule and focus it on an important issue.
By doing so on the same day, the blogging community effectively changes the conversation on the web and focuses audiences around the globe on that issue.
Out of this discussion naturally flow actions, advice, ideas, plans, and empowerment. In 2007 on the theme of the Environment, we saw bloggers running environmental experiments, detailing innovative ideas on creating sustainable practices and focusing audience’s attentions on organizations and companies promoting green agendas. In 2008 we aim to again focus the blogging community’s energies and passions, this time on the mammoth issue of global poverty.

Nerds Rule!, Productivity, Opera
The most common question I get asked is, "How did you get your location to say 'Your Mom's House'?" I figured I'd just post the instructions so I don't have to type it out anymore.
NOTE: This doesn't work with Internet Explorer. I believe it works with Firefox...and I know for certain that it works with the Opera browser. Just one more reason Opera flippin' rules! 
Step 1: Click on the Edit Profile button.
Step 2: Now that you are on the page where you can edit your profile, right-click somewhere on the page and select Source from the menu.
Step 3: You are now able to view your source code. This might look like a big mess to some of you, but I still have faith in you! You can do this! 
Scan down your source code until you reach the section where the different location options are listed. It looks something like this:
Step 4: Now that you've found the location options, you need to create your very own option value. It's really simple. Take a look at my example and you'll see what I mean:
Step 5: Okay, you just created your own option value. Good job! Now you need to go up to the top of the page where the Apply Changes button is located...and click that mother!
Step 6: You're almost done! Now you need to go back to the page where you can edit your profile. Click the drop-down menu which is located by the word Country.
Step 7: Scan the drop-down menu until you see the option you created a couple minutes ago. (The closer you create your option to the top of the list, the higher up on the drop-down it'll be.)
Step 8: Click the Save Profile button...and that's it! You're all done! 
Here's what my personalized location looks like:
NOTE: Please keep in mind that if/when you go to change any info on your profile again, you will have to redo all of these steps. If you fail to do so, your location will revert to the default, "Unspecified".

Festivities, Holiday, Opera
Friday was Opera's CEO, Jon S. von Tetzchner's birthday! w00t! I wish I would have learned of this holiday sooner...but better late than never, right?
They've created a special Birthday Blog just for Jon. You might want to
drop by to check it out. It's pretty cool.
If you're so inclined, send an MMS picture to the blog. (For instructions on how to activate and use your phone for mobile blogging take a look at
their tutorial.) Just so you know, Jon loves to see people using Opera, so you should try to include Opera in your picture somehow. That'd make the birthday boy happy, I'm sure.
So anyway, Happy Birthday to Jon!
I hope he had a wonderful day...and maybe if all of us pull together, he can continue to have a wonderful string of days to follow!

Step 1:Click the 'Help' and then 'About' tabs inside of your Opera browser.
Scan down the page until you find the Preferences line.
I've highlighted it in red here:
Step 2:Once you see the path that you need to take in order to get to your configuration file, you follow it. In this case, it's:
C:\Users\XXXXXXXX\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Program Files\profile\opera6.ini
Once you get to where you're supposed to be, you should see something that looks like this:
Step 3:Right-click on the speeddial file and select Open With Notepad.
Step 4:What you have in front of you at this point should look like this:
Scroll down to the very bottom of the page and enter in whichever numbers you choose for your Speed Dial. In my case, I want four rows and six columns...leaving me with a total of 24 spaces in my Speed Dial. (4X6=24) Sooo, I just put the numbers at the very bottom of the Notepad document:
Step 5:Once you've entered the numbers in, save the file by either clicking Ctrl+S OR by going to File > Save. You want to replace the old file with your new edited version.Step 6:That's all there is to it! Now go open your Opera browser and you will see your new and improved Speed Dial! Here's what mine looks like. I can't wait to fill it in! 
If you have any problems, let me know and I'll
walk you through it more than I already have. NOTE: The configuration file should not be edited while you've got your Opera browser open. Shut the browser down prior to making these changes.

Nerds Rule!, Music, Video
I've heard the Weird Al song "White And Nerdy" a kabillion times...and love it, of course...but it wasn't 'til a few minutes ago that I watched the video the entire way through.
On one hand, I'm insulted because it's like they're making fun of nerds. I mean, almost everything they mention is something I'm into! On the other hand, I gotta laugh...it's just so true.
I know this song's really old and 85% of you will think it's lame that I'm posting it, but oh well. Don't watch it then!
