Many of you know that my favorite commercial is the “BFF Jill” commercial as shown below:

Well, AT&T released a new updated one that sucks:

I just threw up a post on my Rotman blog about some great quotes. I had to post my favorite here:

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wile E. Coyote… Genius. I am not selling anything, nor am I working my way through college, so let’s get down to cases. You are a rabbit, and I am going to eat you for supper. Now don’t try to get away! I am more muscular, more cunning, faster, and larger than you are… and I’m a genius. Why, you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten. So, I’ll give you the customary two minutes to say your prayers.

 - The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie (1979)

Kanye West’s new album is going to sell like hot cakes. No, not because it has great music on it (it could be 74 minutes of wind blowing for all I know). No, it’s not because they are giving it away. It’s because it would be great to see “Fitty Cent” end his career because of his big mouth:

“Let’s raise the stakes,” the 31-year-old rapper told hip-hop Web site SOHH.com in an interview posted Friday. “If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I’ll no longer write music. I’ll write music and work with my other artists, but I won’t put out anymore solo albums.”

I don’ t have anything against Fitty (although referring to himself in the third person isn’t helping); I don’t particularly like Kanye (although Stronger is boss even though it’s mostly ripped off); I just think it would be really funny if Kanye’s sales forced Fitty to eat his words.

For geeky people, this should make you laugh. For the rest, you’re probably thinking WTF?

Guys (stereotypically) like three things: Girls, cars, and food/beer. On Hotmail they apparently don’t know the difference between the three when targeting ads:

Nice looking “Auto.” Totally one of the “World’s fastest cars.”

There’s a very thought provoking piece over at Wall Strip. Makes you want to cry.

Have a heart, give a bear hug to short sellers.

I found another way to Simpsonize yourself. The original post is . This time you upload a photo and it does a piss poor job of making a Simpsons character that looks like you. Here are the two photos:

Note: the original picture of me was quite a bit bigger. I just uploaded a small crappy picture to the blog.

I came across a cool Facebook App. It let’s you visualize your network and ranks the members of your network based on how many photos you have together. My entire network looks like a mess:

A subset of the 50 most connected (shared pictures) friends is more manageable:

The size of the dots indicates connectedness.

Try it out on your network (requires Java 5)

Take a look at this traffic graph for facebook.com vs tunerds.com:

As you can clearly see, the traffic on facebook.com was neck and neck with the traffic on tunerds.com up until 2006. Furthermore, before 2004 tunerds.com had an infinite percentage more traffic than facebook.com. Since 2006, however, facebook.com has had huge growth, leaving tunerds.com behind. As the CEO (Cool Editor Oh-yeah) of tunerds.com I will not stand for this. As of this moment I will be using all of my 1337 interweb and bizzzzz skillz to combat the popularity of facebook.com and ensure that tunerds.com traffic matches that of facebook.com.

Details on my plan in the coming… eventually.

p.s. I’m feeling silly today.

Eve just told me about The Simpsons Movie site that lets you create your own Simpsons Avatar!!!! Mine doesn’t look like me but whatever:
