track your happiness

found this app that will help you track your happiness.

my gut tells me that if you need an app to track your happiness – then you probably are not generally all that happy.

a growing addiction to space

my buddy julian sent me these clips and i tripped balls. the antennas are targeted on one point in synch. too legit to quit really.

this video below is the same as the one above but just from a different angle.

and here is where the time lapse was recorded from:

official description:

Time-lapse of a whole night at the ALMA Array Operations Site (AOS), located at 5000 meters altitude on the Chajnantor plateau, in the II Region of Chile. As the Moon sets at the beginning of the night, three of the first ALMA antennas start tests as part of the ongoing Commissioning and Science Verification process. Because they are pointing at the same target in the sky at any moment, their movements are perfectly synchronized.

As the sky appears to rotate clockwise around the south celestial pole (roughly on the upper left edge of the video), the Milky Way goes down slowly, until it is lying almost horizontal before sunrise. The center of our galaxy becomes visible during the second half of the night as a yellowish bulge crossed by dark lanes in the center of the image, just above the antennas.

The flashes on the ground are the car lights of the guards patrolling at the AOS. ALMA, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array is the largest astronomical project in existence and is a truly global partnership between the scientific communities of East Asia, Europe and North America with Chile. ESO is the European partner in ALMA. – SOURCE

Cleverbot is an AI web application that learns how to mimic human conversations by communicating with humans. It was created by AI scientist Rollo Carpenter, who also created Jabberwacky, a similar web application. In the first decade of its existence after being created in 1988, Cleverbot held several thousand conversations with Carpenter and his associates. Since being launched on the web in 1997, the number of conversations has exceeded 65 million. – via wikipedia

the official explanation:

Visible cities, countries and landmarks include (in order) Vancouver Island, Victoria, Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles. Phoenix. Multiple cities in Texas, New Mexico and Mexico. Mexico City, the Gulf of Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula, El Salvador, Lightning in the Pacific Ocean, Guatemala, Panama, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Lake Titicaca, and the Amazon.

if you only watch this once then you are a total asshole. or maybe i’m the asshole for watching it 30x.

june 15th lunar eclipse

mr. diggles — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 17:22:24 +0000

first off this video kinda drives me nuts. the music alone makes me reach for my blade. it’s nasa’s way of saying ok retards, here’s what’s up…

anyways, apparently this wednesday there will be a lunar eclipse that will last much longer than usual. 1 hour and 40 minutes to be exact. the lame ass thing though is that it won’t be visible from north america. so i guess we will have to watch it on youtube or something the day after.

i am curious what wacky ritual shit will be going down when the moon turns red. it will be a winning moment for isis. go hard psychos.

how haarp creates earthquakes

mr. diggles — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 16:57:22 +0000

last year when i gave my ignite speech in new orleans about how “conspiracy is more normal than normal” i remember the audience laughing when i mentioned that haarp is how the man controls the weather. “oh diggles, you so crazy!”

instead of me writing out the power of this technology i wanted to post this video that explains the raw capabilities of haarp. this is not conspiracy. naturally this video is sugar coated and dated but at least it will make you realize possibility. the reason i wanted to post this is because of the large earthquake that hit today in japan. top 5 in world history.

there were many predictions that a catastrophic event would take place on march 11th – some even narrowed it down to an earthquake. of course these predictions didn’t make it to cnn or 30 rock.

one of my favorites is stweart swerdlow’s warning just 2 days prior:

and here is a picture of the oregon coast as of an hour ago:

i keep saying “things are about to get interesting” but the reality is that they are already interesting. everything happens for a reason. it is all by design.

godspeed my japanese friends.

parrot singing “let the bodies hit the floor”

i started watching this thinking it was going to be sorta dumb. but then i realized it had an impact on me when i watched it 4 more times. when this thing busts out the extended yell at the :31 mark – i laugh every time.

i also thought about how whoever owns this bird must have played this song quite a few times for that thing to be so into it. they eventually probably wore out on the song at one point then regretted playing it because now their bird sings it every time someone enters the room. imagine that when meeting you girlfriends mom for the first time over at your place.

i’m karl… don’t mind the bird. i love your daughter.

i remember when the media was saying that this song was deemed inappropriate since the hype and lyrics of the song coexisted at the same time as 9/11 – so they encouraged their stations to remove it:

In the days following the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, D.C., many television and radio stations altered normal programming in response to the events. During this period, Clear Channel Communications and its subsidiaries had established a list of “songs with questionable lyrics” that stations may not want to play after the attacks. This list was distributed by the independent newsletter Hits Daily Double.[1] John Hogan, president of Clear Channel, stated that the list was only a suggestion, and “never a policy or a directive.”[2]

it was off the air for like a month after and then it came back so we could all enjoy it’s uplifting lyrics. even your parrot and your new mother in-law.

this ain’t no disneyland bullshit

mr. diggles — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 15:47:52 +0000

julian sent me this. said he ordered one. the creep factor of this thing is at a record high. i think technology is great and all but creating these robots makes me squirm.

hey robot, let’s see you do this:

…i need to quit the internet.
