There’s some movement in the Detroit area called 2WordStory. Here’s the homepage from their website:
Seriously? Seriously.
Basically, it’s a church thing. The one-word question is before you find The Big Guy or Gal or Aliens Upstairs, and the second word is the answer after you find Him or Her or Them.
I’d prefer to use it in other ways, such as in, oh let’s just say, blog commentary:
On three occasions from three different friends I was asked about the validity of each of these videos. I think on some level, in each situation, my friends knew these weren’t real or true. But on another, perhaps spiritual, level, they wanted these to be real or true. Why? Well, I get the second one, but the others? No thanks.
Alien Captured in Brazil
My friend Jess brought this video up, knowing full well how I feel about aliens, and by the time I finally mustered the sauce to catch up on it (see what I did there?), fear did not overcome me. Not even a little. That translates to: FAKE.
This one was a surprise to hear. My friend that shall go unnamed – not for protection, but for annoyance purposes – thought petite lap giraffes were real. They were in Comcast commercials. Not Animal Planet. Unless it was a Comcast commercial on Animal Planet.
Doomsday Scenario – Brown Dwarf Star Edition
Don’t watch the video unless you want to be tortured prior to our inevitable demise. My friend Jason likes bringing this one up, plus all the updates and refutations he’s found. He’s new to the TripleDoubleU, so I forgive him. This gist is this:
To begin, anyone remember Google Wave? It was the giant’s attempt to get a foothold on the social networking scene, and it was one huge misstep*.
Welcome to the latest entry in the monkey house… Color.com:
Their website. Dramatically lacking an array of color.
The concept is simple in the evolution of the scene.
MySpace rips off Friendster.
Facebook perfects MySpace.
Twitter pares down Facebook.
Color pares down Twitter and Facebook.
It’s just pictures. Flickr for the instant mobile set. (Should have been called Blinkr.)
Here’s the founder of Color discussing it, I guess (I didn’t even watch it):
So the question that remains – am I going to install the app on my iPhone? Probably. Seeing as how I dragged my feet on theTwitter thing years ago, and I eventually signed up. Top that with the fact that I recently (finally) setup a Facebook account (accidentally if you believe me), there’s no stopping me now.
…I’ll let you know how it is as soon as WordPress figures out a way for me to promote this blog on it.
I recently got rooked into Facebook by way of a Gmail link-up, and I have to be honest… it’s kind of dumb. As I look at everybody making statements and people commenting on them and liking them… it’s kind of dumb. I might be biting the hand that feeds, though, especially now since I’m on the CIA’s grid.
