Re: …It’s TGI Friday: iTunes Gift Card Giveaway? at Didnt You Hear…

Thanks for noticing. The gift card will be emailed to the winner. Apple lets you email a $10 gift card but doesn't make a physical $10 gift card, so I posted a picture of their $15 card. Sorry to get your hopes up, the winner will receive a $10 emailed gift card.

Re: …It’s TGI Friday: Prickie?

That's funny. I'm assuming you mean the blog title in the header, which I didn't realize was missing an apostrophe until you pointed it out. I added the apostrophe when I was designing the title, but some time during the process of changing everything around and modifying the design, the apostrophe got dropped. I'll have to amend that, so thanks for the heads up.

Re: …It’s TGI Friday: The World’s Geekiest Crossword Puzzle?

Oops. I'm very sorry for my mistake, and I've gone through and edited the post to fix things for you. It's funny because I actually debated about what pronoun to use when I was writing the post, since I didn't have a real name to go by, and I couldn't pin the name feuermaus to either a male or a female. I decided to play it safe and stick with male, but obviously I made the wrong choice. I apologize, and thanks again.

Krax,

Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoy reading what I post about, and I hope Didn't You Hear continues to impress you. I'm always trying to find the most interesting and unique topics to cover, so it's good to hear that the effort isn't going unnoticed. I also hope that the network continues to stretch, and along the way we can do something that will help out others, which is always a good thing.

feuermaus,

I am a fan of giving back, so I enjoy things like this that let me do it in creative and productive ways. Thanks for reading (again), and a preemptive thanks for any links you send my way.

Re: …It’s Things Thursday: POM Tea?

coryobrien — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 13:50:32 -0000

That's a really interesting idea. I never thought about the fact that they could embrace the collectability of their glasses and use it to sell more tea. It definitely sounds like something that could work.

If you can't tell, for me it's a Mac. My current computer, a PowerBook G4, is the first Apple that I've ever owned, but I'm a definite convert. It's so easy to use, and I have so few problems, that I almost forget how much I struggled in the Windows world. Almost.

Re: …The LAFD uses Flickr? at Didnt You Hear…

Pocketlama,

Sorry about the sign up requirement, it's just used as a method of combating spam (no random emails, I promise). Also, I've taken note of the poor use of gray-on-gray (it came with the theme), so I'll work on getting the comment box fixed ASAP (Which is as soon as I can figure out what to change. Any Wordpress theme experts out there?). Cool stuff from the LAFD though, huh?

Re: …It’s TGI Friday: Optical Illusion?

I like that one too, though they all make your eyes hurt after a while.

Re: …You should be twittering? at Didnt You Hear…

coryobrien — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 00:22:17 -0000

I'd agree that sometimes just *talking* gets overlooked too often, but I do think that twitter has some interesting possibilities if people use it and don't abuse it. Time will tell though.

Re: …You want Joost?

coryobrien — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 20:15:44 -0000

That was quick. You've got Joooooooost!!!!

One more left.

nickrusso,

Don't worry, you made it (and all comments get moderated before they show up). You’ve got Joooooooost!!!!

If I get any more invites, I'll put up a new post. Until then, keep enjoying DYH.

Re: …Nick Schneble is documenting his life?

coryobrien — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 14:53:44 -0000

No problem. I really like the idea.

I warned you about Desktop Tower Defense...

Re: …Google wants you to personalize?

coryobrien — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 14:59:52 -0000

I'd side with things being like a science fiction notion gone terribly terribly wrong, though we still seem to be going in that direction.

Re: …Google wants you to personalize?

coryobrien — Fri, 23 Mar 2007 02:15:26 -0000

That's interesting. I've never heard of the "window" theory, but I like the idea. I guess we do find ways of utilizing technology to see more while risking less. Nothing can ever replace the great outdoors though (hopefully).

danalan,

That put a smile on my face. I can only imagine what that scene would look like.
