Hummie's World: Pinterest Pinterest seems to be the new image collection site fad! Here is my account. Before Pinterest, there was first vi.sualize.us (blog post from 9.23.08) and then there was imgfav (blog post of and then 7/14/09). Of course, before these three, there was Kaboodle (blog post from 9/16/07) as the fad which is now rarely used. Image collection sites are comparable to link/bookmarking sites, (ie. del.icio.us), only for images. As with the other image collection sites, with Pinterest, you can have "friends" and follow what they have shared. A "board" is their word for "category." You can follow all of your friends boards or just selected boards which are your same interest. You can also "like" an image, but I don't really see this use for this because if I like it, I'm just going to add it to one of my boards. Commenting on images is also available. As with the other sites, you can add images from any website page by installing the link in your browser toolbar.
OK HOSTING - Hospedaje, Web hosting, Paginas web y Dominios Foro Chilebolsa / Actualidad IPSA La semana que comienza será harto emocionante y bastante clave dentro de todo. El ipsa lamentablemente no ha podido prender como se quisiera y desligarse del entorno externo, por lo que me llama a la precaución lo sucedido con los mercados externos, principalmente gringolandia. El viernes fue incapaz de atacar la zona mas que difícil que tiene entre los 1350-1365, que fueron los máximos de abril-julio del año pasado, después de lo cual cayó la no despreciable suma de 250 puntos y dando la sensación de que todo se iría al tacho nuevamente. Si observamos el alza sostenida del vix, en especial lo fuerte que subió el viernes, rompiendo al alza la directriz bajista que traía desde noviembre, además de la actividad de los insiders de las compañias que entre jueves y especialmente el viernes vendieron como enfermos, tenemos una situación que al menos llama a la prudencia.
DIY: Metallic Tips for Cat Eye Glasses and Metallic Tip Nails I purchased my cat eye sunglasses last year from amazon.com (HotTopic brand) and was pleasantly surprised that my $10 purchase was not cheaply made. I believe it's now sold out :( These glasses originally had no metallic tips... After seeing Alexander Wang's version I wanted to DIY my own, but wanted my metallic tips to be temporary in case I didn't like them. For this project I used Con-Tact paper (from Home Depot). You really just need a tiny piece of Con-Tact paper (I had a whole roll left from a previous project). While coloring my little piece of Con-Tact paper, I noticed my nails were in terrible shape. For more DIY ideas for sunglasses click here, here and here. EDIT: If you do try painting nails with a metallic permanent marker here are the steps: 1.
30 Best Firefox add-ons As I am one of the many Firefox users I use many of its add-ons which make my work so much easier.

Scroll down and look for the following entries: network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. 2. Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true” Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true” Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 30. 3.

June 2011 I'm about to prove a couple of negatives about Penrose tilings. Recall Donald Rumsfeld proudly and stupidly saying you couldn't prove a negative when it became obvious to everyone the weapons of mass destruction ruse was a complete phony. I had to wonder exactly how many classes he slept through when he got his degree at Princeton. Of course you can prove a negative. The only place where real proof exists is in math and we prove that things are impossible all the time. Let me give a couple examples. It is impossible to build a larger shape similar to a dart using kites and darts. The dart is the Penrose tile with the dent, and angle of 216°. If we want to build a bigger dart, it will have to have two 36° angles and a 216° angle, but the distance between these will have to be at least the length of long. We can't do this with these pieces, or if we achieve this, we will not have a long enough straight line to make the outside of the dart. This proof takes no math skills really. Notice this.
Using Google Search Operators You can use most of the options we discussed in Google’s Advanced Search Form in a regular search box query. If you’re a frequent searcher or a “power searcher,” this can save time because you don’t need to open the Advanced Search page and fill in various boxes; instead, you can enter the refined query in almost any Google search box. You’ll use advanced operators, query words that have special meaning to Google. Note: We recommend that you skip ahead to the Part Understanding Results unless you’re an experienced Google user or you want to know how to use Google’s advanced operators. 1. Here are three places you can find examples of search operators. Visit the Google Guide Advanced Operator Quick Reference and look for special operators of the form operator:value.Fill in Google’s Advanced Search form. Read through the descriptions below and try the examples. Here are more examples of search operators. Note: The colon (:) after the operator name is required. 2. 4. 4.1. 4.2.

The Stir: 10 New Reasons You Should Quit Facebook If you're anything like me, you've uttered the words, "I'm thinking of quitting Facebook" at some point in the last few years.

Something holds you back -- be it that you don't want to lose touch with old friends you've reconnected with; you're obsessed with stalking a certain someone; or you just don't want to be the weirdo who hasn't gotten with the times. It's damn near impossible. Like Jack Twist said in Brokeback Mountain: "I wish I knew how to quit you." But you should. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
