Eva introduced me to this cool site called Omegle. Basically what it does it is randomly assigns you to talk to someone completely anonymously. The person only knows what you tell them about yourself. There are a lot of people trolling and sometimes it takes a good ten minutes to find someone you actually want to talk too but it's really fun. You can check it out at Omegle.com
this looks really cool, actually. i found it on the time magazine twitter. it's sort of like a reverse protest. people sign up and then get area businesses to compete to see who can do the thing that makes their business the most green of it's type in the area, then everyone who signed up goes and buys something at that store on a certain day. it can be anything, even something you were going to buy anyway. the point is that they're guaranteed a spike in business for being more environmentally friendly. it's sort of a cool idea, especially when you know that a lot of retail stores are always trying to find some gimmick or other that'll make people aware they exist, which is half the battle until you become really well established, and then to get and keep customers coming into the store.
you can find out more about it and view a really amazing flash animation by clicking on carrotmob.org.
So yeah I found this on the internet and I thought they looked pretty good. The lenses attach via magnets on a metal barbell through the nose. Maybe I might get them some day.
I set up a webcam to take a picture once very minute. Check it out here: http://slightlyunstable.org/webcam If you don't see anything I put duct tape over it. Someone could be dressing or something.
