Here is my official ColorWars Ro Sham Bo throw for Team VeryGreen.

It was a tough call, going with team verygreen. I’ll admit I was quite tempted by iJustine’s #ff1cae team if only because of her 2.0 egg making skillz. And at the last minute, Sarah Meyers pulled out a very nice color out of her hat with the Sky Blue team.

But in the end I only had one clean shirt, and this was it! Plus, I finally found a good use for my very green, previous-owner painted, bedroom walls.

PS. This is the first Photobooth photo I’ve ever taken. Seriously? I know. You’d think someone as vain as me would be all over it. Just when you think you’ve got me figured out…

PPS. You can’t make me take off my viking helmet!!! I even sleep with it on… with one eye open.

You know I wouldn’t leave you hanging with out some super special Mostly Lisa holiday cards for Easter, as I know how much you l0v3d my Valentime’s ones. So break out the mini eggs and share these cards with your loved ones or people you don’t even know.

For that acerbic consumer electronics employee who thinks he is the shizznizz, yet cannot tell a firewire cable from a usb one, and will inevitably lead you down every aisle in the whole darn store. Tag. You’re it.

For your emo brother or sister. Just turn up the volume. That’s it. Disappear in the sad sad melodies and the shadows that embrace you.

For someone who is Lost. In a flash forward or a flash back. We’ll never know. Good. Bad? Dead. Alive? It’s all good JJ, we trust you to not pull any Rambaldi zombie shenanigans again.

For the geek in all of us. Eat another egg. It’s ok. No one is looking. Mmm. Melts on your tongue. Have another. What’s the harm? They’re only mini. Plus, you’re only a part-time model.

Live streaming technology just got a whole lot cooler with Qik and Kevin Rose’s N95. Qik, in alpha, allows people to live stream from their phone and allows viewer to live chat.

Just moments ago, viewers got to take a ride with Kevin and Team verygreen’s Gary Vee where they talked about underrated social nets (pownce & vimeo were mentioned), sexy geeks (don’t forget about #9 AKA this girl right here), and received a quick call from Dr Tiki. Buffering and pixelated video aside, it was pretty awesome.

What are live video streaming services are you watching/using?

According to John Mayer’s covert, Japanimated blog, even Superstars are not safe from the spinning wheel of death. Just be glad you didn’t get this message or this one. Fail.

I call this the Mac Attack in reverse. All the coolness and uberness that is your Mac, spinning into a horrific rainbow pinwheel of paused reality. Admit it, it’s a wee bit hypnotic like the iTunes visualizer. (Aside: I can totally predict the visualizer pattern even before it shifts. Zing).

So as a both a Mac user and a Mayer fan, I thought I’d communicate to JM through the blogosphere:

PS. We’ve all been having problems with Leopard. Some of us have even been bold enough to say it suxx bollocks. But to be honest, the latest update has fixed the majority of the suxxage. Might I suggest a software update?
PPS. How much did you pay for “Rainbows”?
PPPS. I like your face.

Like every crazy trend on twitter, Colorwars2008 started out as an inside joke. An inside joke I was not privy too. Is is because I’m Canadian?

My Story:
I wake up around *tea time and find a crazy **color thing happening on twitter. All the cool kids had added a “Team Color” to their twitter avatars. Naturally, I am confused and like many Non-Silicon Valley outsiders, I just didn’t quite get the joke. After searching googly & twitter, I was even further down the rabbit hole with who started it (Team Very Green’s Gary Vaynerchuk or Team Blue’s @zefrank) and why and just simply “Wha- happened?”

I’m not sure anyone really has a clue why they are doing it and for what greater purpose.

Choosing a Colour:
I’m partial to the Gold Team’s current avatar graphic and the fact that a number of Gold followers are Pro Viking horns (finally, I fit in!). Team Blue doesn’t even have an avatar. Lame. Team #FF1CAE has got iJustine’s l0v3, but Veronica is supporting Team Very Green.

Joining a twitter color team:
Just follow your team of preference on twitter and hizzah you are part of 2008 Colorwars. There are maaaaany teams, but here is a list of the main ones.

• Orange Team
• Team Very Green
• Gold Team
• Red Team
• Yellow Team
• Plaid Team
• Rainbow Team

Twitter ColorWars begins tomorrow! What team are you? Convince me to join your team, I dare you!!

*Don’t judge me for my nocturnal habit, I was designing a sweet web site into the wee hours…. Ok fine, I was procrastinating the designing of a sweet web site whilst watching movies… sue me.

**Colour > Color. No one respects the Queen’s English anymore.

Quick! Mac Attack! Alert the Airport Extreme and launch the iPod fighter jets!

I’ll admit it. I once owned a PC. It was a dark period in my computing past, complete with a CD drive that wouldn’t work and a system infected with the Trojan horse virus… Seriously? I thought that was a myth? It’s not. And this big meanie, circa 1999, has got it. Bad.

So, why is it here? Well, my mum who has been storing this beast in the basement for the last 9 years, was about to junk it and not wanting the Paps to find any indecent snaps, my im records from high school (ack!) or my crappy early teenage poetry, i wanted to make sure to wipe HD crystal clean…. before smashing at least part of it. Wiiii smashing a PC. Oh come on, you’ve never wanted to smash a PC?? Never ever???

And how to my Macs think about this new “guest” in their zone? Nothing pleasant. In fact, they are planning a full fledged stealth attack at day break tomorrow to catch the PC Meanie off-guard and hopefully take out his power source and memory.

If I’m able to get up early enough, I may capture the mac attack on video. I can feel your excitement building. I can feeeeeeel it!

It is not possible to be more bored than I am right now. Bored. I really shouldn’t post this. Ahhh, whatever, your readers are bored too. Bored at work. Staring at work they should be doing, but instead they come to your blog hoping to see bikini pictures. But instead they get this sucky post. Ha!

I could do one of those padding posts that even the best bloggers do when they run out of interesting things to say. Think of it as a look beneath the silky smoothness of the blogosphere. It’s time to ‘fess up your mid-week hump posts, such as:

Shameless product plug!!!
A post about all the mundane things I use like fancy, bubbly soaps, shampoos, and expensive cheeses. I’ll accompany this with the first photo I find on the Google image search to make the post seem longer and more interesting. Oh, and I better mention Starbucks. Yeah, Starbucks is so awesome. I like drink there everyday. I know some cool peeps at Starbucks.

Random Photo of Me Looking Super Hot
Hey you guys! I just came across this photo of me from my trip to Hawaii this summer on the beach in my underwear. OMG. Isn’t it super random that I would search my entire library of a billion photos and just happen upon the best picture of me ever? So random.

Here’s a list of stuff.
Stuff I like. Stuff I hate. Stuff that’s cool. Here it is in a list format.

• CSS
• Frogs
• Turnips
• French Fries

Maybe I’ll hyperlink something to one of things in the list to make it seem funny. Instead of just a list, it will be a funny list. Hizzah!

Mememememe

1. Who’s the last person you kissed? Uh.. myself in the mirror. Does that count?
2. Pizza, french toast, or grilled tomatoes? Can I choose “a turkey sandwich”? It’s not on the list. Oh. Ok. I’ll go with the french toast, but I’d put turkey on it to make it more like a turkey sandwich.
3. Recycle batteries or Dump them in a duck pond? Ohh, tough one. Are the ducks real? Yes Hmm. I guess I’ll go with the ducks then. That wasn’t the question. Oh.

Now tag three people with this marvelous memememe. Umm… yeah.. I don’t actually know three people. Can I send it to my cat? He knows how to use the internet. His mouse technique could use some work though.

I just saw this movie.
It was good. It was bad. I liked that part with Brad Pitt in it. Yeah, that part was awesome. [I'll say something witty here. And reference pop culture. Everyone likes pop culture]. And then I’ll put a link to the trailer. Yeah. Sweet.

Rant Post.
Erg! I’m angry about something and whether you like it or not, I’m gonna rant about it and then pretend to not apologize in the last sentence. Nope. I won’t say, “Uhh, sorry to rant about this, but I’m so tired and I’ve got mono and my iPod just, like, stopped working.”

Here’s a question.
An easy and direct question like “Do frogs have teeth?” or “What is your favourite smell?” or “What makes you happy?” I’ll tell you what makes me happy. Comments. It’s what makes this cold, dark existence worth living.

Did you know that you can control the in & out point of a song in iTunes?

Well you can. You can start a song 18 seconds in and skip a super lame intro. Here’s how.

Pretty useful tip, don’t you think?

If you already knew this then I crown you King Smarty Pants. We all bow in your honour.

Something was clearly lost in translation on the packaging of this dollar store toy aptly named: “Naughty Real Music”. Is real music more naughty than fake music? Hmm. Also confusing was the spunky rabbit on the front telling me about the naughty real instrument. “Guitar plays real music,” he said with great enthusiasm.

You can’t trick me rabbit. This is a saxamaphone! And let me tell you this, my neighbours were so thrilled with the naughty music that came out of my new instrument that they kept banging on the walls in appreciation.
