Every time I see this tool, I just have to smile. One of these days I’ll actually buy one, but still have no idea what I’ll every use it for… probably a more fitting tool than I’d guess, but just looks like something you’d find in warcraft somewhere
update: just had to add it to my wishlist…
New Wishlist
Last month included my birthday, and like usual, no one new what to get me…. that has mostly to do with who I am, I’m picky. Anyways… a few years ago for the holidays, I created a wishlist to help people out. My research actually started when I was trying to build a ‘Fair Trade’ wishlist for our wedding. Anyways… I knew that many stores had lists, but I wanted something that could handle outside items. I initially tried and used a site call MetaWishlist, it worked for me, but not for our registry… I liked it but is was in way early beta and eventually I got tired of it. At the same time I used GiftHat for our fairtrade registry. So when I heard that the developer of GifHat had an import option for MetaWishlist, I migrated. So for the last few years Gifthat has managed my wishlist, and managed it well. I on the other hand was terrible at updating it and a number of the products, well they were no longer available. This all said, last month my brother remembered that I had a list and managed to find on Google, and bought probably the only item on it I had added in the last year, a Creative Zen media play (other than that, the only thing I’ve added to my list was books for me to buy). It was probably one of the better gifts I’ve received in many a year, not because I selected it, but because it was something I really wanted but had no idea some one would or had bought it for me. So it reminded me the value of a wishlist. So today I was looking through my wishlist, and with the exception of a few items, almost everything was from Amazon. Not just that, the items that were directly from Amazon, they were actually there through the partnering shops (most of my items were from ThinkGeek and DealExtreme, both list many if not almost all their items on Amazon). Now while I’ve heard that Amazon does not treat there employees the greatest, you can’t argue with the amazing selection. So basically I’m announcing my new wishlist which is available on Amazon, actually there are 3 wishlist, 1 for generic stuff, 1 for movies and music (and other related stuff), and a 3rd which is basically book about programming and such learning materials that are on my list to eventually buy.
Cannibal Fish
Now that “BlogThis” once again works, over the next few days or so, I’ll have to catch up with all the various sites I wanted to post but could not easily do so with out “blogThis”. Anyways so here is the first one…. I completely random site I stumbled upon, how I don’t remember… I was probably verifying a network connection by randomly performing a google search just to make sure that what I loaded was not in cache. I assume that this is the case since a typical search I perform is for “fishsticks“. Anyways the linked to site is a cute fish simulation of survival in fish. It is a great way to waste time staring at the screen.
How Many of Me
A few weeks ago my brothers and I were having an international chat session (quick cheer for gtalk and the jabber protocol, more about this in a minute) and my older brother passes this link along. It will tell you how original or not your name is as compared to the last census. There are 7 “Ben Carrasco” and 18 “Philip Carrasco”, but I lost out with 25 “Nicholas Carrasco”. There are supposedly 17,998 Carrasco’s in the world. Anyways… check it out and see how creative your parents were.

IT Nightmares
I just ran across this at Lifehacker.
Top 10 Most Common Passwords
Me working as an IT person with in the government, it is kind of scary that passwords I ruled out back in high school (before IT security was remotely an issue) would still be the most popular ones. No wonder nothing is secure anymore. Does anyone think that Pres. G.W. Bush uses number 5 as his password, it wouldn’t surprise me, I put him in the intelligence bracket of President Skroob of Planet Spaceballs.
