You have to say that with a strong Filipino accent in order to appreciate joke.

So there have been a couple of things I’ve been doing recently. Playing a whole bunch of Halo 3 and reconnecting with friends and former classmates in Facebook. Both pretty amazing. One perhaps more meaningful than the other.

Sometimes you have the re-connections that spur a non-stop barrage of messages and others can be just a simple “friend accepted” note; kinda like a quick nod that says “hey, I see you over there”. Both equally cool.

But of course, not as cool as this:

This guy makes some nifty quick painting using spray-paint. By nifty, I mean cheesy-as-hell.

Sorry buddy, but Bob Ross can still paint your ass under the table.

There he is. George Hotz and his unlocked iPhone. The dude spent over 500 hours unlocking the thing to be used on T-mobile’s network. It got him a job, a Nissan 350Z and 3 more iPhones. Pretty sweet deal. I think that picture rocks too. He obviously doesn’t give a shit about anything expect for the fact that he unlocked it. That’s pretty BA in my book.

The next 30 days is all about BioShock. The game has been awesome so far. Great atmosphere, narrative, game-play, voice-acting. Only thing is, I’m too much of a wuss to continue playing for more that 2 hours. I have a limit of about 45 minutes to an hour per session. But the story is unfolding greatly and I’m in no rush to complete it in a week.

I figure I have about a month until this game drops.

Here is a good article on how to SEO Flash on your pages.

How to SEO Flash

It’s actually doing a bit of switcheroo with Javascript, and I for one, am not 100% comfortable with that. I wish there were variables that you can place in tags within the Flash code block that gets read by Google and other search engines. Perhaps if there was a way for divs to live within the Flash code block that doesn’t render visually onto the page.

In a nutshell this is what happens in the article above:
- Make a page with a DIV that has the relevant content in HTML.
- When page loads, use a JS sniffer to swap out the DIV with the Flash Codeblock.
- Google and other search engines, don’t take the JS switch into account, so they’ll always crawl the HTML version of the page.

But the article also explains some other good ways to make different Flash content more optimized for searches. Good read.
