I was in Walgreens tonight and saw this:
It’s an ad for a Medic Alert bracelet.
Clearly the man has fans everywhere even today. The man is a great entertainer.

Thursday, February 19th, 2009The Fat Wizard is Showing Up on Linkedin Again
Saturday, February 7th, 2009The fat wizard shows up on Linkedin whenever the site is down. I’ve been seeing this a lot over the years. A lot more than on other sites. I really love Linkedin. I wish they could keep their site up more during waking hours.
Update: Since Linkedin came back up, I have lost 3 million people from my network while my 1st degree contacts stayed the same. Also, 2 new cities have taken over as the leading regions. How does this happen? Was it broken before and fixed now or working before and broken now?
Update 2: Since my last update, I ran across this. It seems that Linkedin is taking a more aggressive stance against users with lots of links. Many of these users have seen their networks mysteriously shrink. There’s a conflict between Linkedin’s philosophy of only linking to people that you know and the philosophy of “open networkers” that link to as many people as possible. Looks like my shrinking network was deliberate and not an error.
A Great Day for Gadgets!
Saturday, February 7th, 2009First, we had the Ray Gun Pen. Now we have the Star Trek Communicator USB VOIP Phone (also from Gizmodo). Wow! This great stuff. Everything comes in 3’s so I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Apple TV, part 3 (Boxee)
Sunday, February 1st, 2009I hooked up the Apple TV, accessed iTunes on my Mac mini, and synced my music from my mini to the Apple TV.
Next up was installing Boxee. Not quite as easy as the instructions made it out to be, but I still got it installed and working. There was some overscan on the video but the software has a really easy way to adjust the overscan, so no problem.
Hulu worked, though it listed videos that weren’t available anymore. That was annoying. ABC.com didn’t work, nor did Fox. That’s makes Boxee a lot less useful. Didn’t try You Tube.
I like the Apple TV’s implementation of Front Row for music much better than I like Boxee. I see Boxee as my avenue to Internet video. For that it works well. I had an episode of 24 running from Hulu. It looked great.
The Apple TV and Boxee are definitely worth it.
