hello! yoshi > FFAF

This is my obligatory Happy Thanksgiving post, since, everyone is doing it. I figure I’d take the time out of making food (ok, we only got mashed potatoes and cranberries) and make this post. I see a lot of other folks are wishing thanksgiving, like here, here, here, here, here, here, and so on. Those are just ones I’ve just seen on my news reader as of now.

I also want to remind everyone that it is Free for all Friday (FFAF) tomorrow, and Danalyn has opened up her blog for FFAF posts. So go on over there and make a post on her blog, she’ll appreciate it, I know.

Also, don’t forget to visit the Freaky Japan site which we created. I’m sure you’ll have some good laughs, I promise!

P.S. Can anyone tell me where the title of this post is quoted from?

No, not here. I forgot all about it. Over at Danalyn’s. She remembered that it’s free for all friday and opened it up. Meanwhile, I’ve forgotten all about it and hopefully I’ll remember it for next month. Although I have to admit, will people even be blogging on the day after Thanksgiving? Anyways, take a visit over there, make a post. You’ll most likely be reading a post from me there.

Also if you haven’t already, check out the web comic, A Little Scary. Tomorrow, (yes Halloween) you get to find out what Stan’s costume is. I don’t know about you but I’m highly anticipating it.

Hi everyone, Free for all Friday is here! For those of you who want to get started right away, here is the FFAF Form. The rules are announced on that page. For those of you not familiar with Free for all Friday (henceforth known as FFAF) is where YOU can make a post on THIS site. Just like guest blogging! The form will be open for 24 hours, so make sure you visit back to view other posts by other bloggers. Feel free to pimp your site, your friends site, or whatever you’d like to do. Here are some topics for you:

1. Current Events. Feel free to talk about any current events that are bothering you at this time.
2. Political Race. If you feel like you want to talk about the US Presidential Race (or any other political topic) feel free.
3. The ever popular, Writer’s Choice!

Remember, you can make your post on the FFAF Form.

This post is sticky, so it will remain at the top of all FFAF posts. Scroll down to view the rest of the FFAF posts!

This week has been slow. I’ve been laid up in bed or on the couch resting because I feel sick or nauseous or both. Recovery is crazy from surgery. But I’m still doing a TGIF post today because it’s what I do and that’s how I roll.

I just want to remind everyone that next Friday is Free for all Friday, and if you’re not familiar with FFAF, it’s where you get to guest post on my blog. It’s fun, it’s a way to pimp your site, possibly get a couple new readers (or lose them! LOL). So look for it next Friday.

cybr came to the dark side and re-activated his World of Warcraft account. Leveling is so much faster in that game now, and well, I think he’d love to see Outland. It’s pretty damn cool, and it’s a lot of fun. We’ll see how that goes.

Jen totally made LOL when I read a post about what one of her co-workers did with her telephone. You should read it, totally funny story! She’s too funny! And I’m so glad I know when she updates in my reader now!

It looks like Abraxus picked up Age of Conan recently and wrote a pretty good post about it. We’ve been considering picking it up. I think Meesh was really curious about it, so I think we’re probably going to end up going to Best Buy this weekend and picking it up. Or she will and we’ll try it out. I doubt it will run on our laptops, but you never know! We do all our gaming on the laptops, perhaps it’s time to change?

Finally, girlrobot posted her friday links as usual and posted a picture of the most awesome tattoo I’ve seen in a while! Check it out!

Hi! This is cybrpunk from cybrpunk.com and A Little Scary. It’s not actually Friday where I’m at (it’s noon on Saturday) but I think it’s still Friday where Yoshi lives so this still counts!

Anyway, I just thought I’d pop by and waste space on Yoshi’s site for a change instead of my own site. It’s like doing graffiti on the side of someone’s house but without the fear of getting caught or the colors and spattered clothes and birds flying around and stuff like that. Exactly. I’m glad you’re following me on that one.

Well, that’s all I got. I’m just not feeling all the entertaining at the moment. It’s like someone’s vacuumed all the funny out of me today. I think it’s because I have to clean the litter box yet and I know it’s not going to be pleasant. Not that it ever is but you get the idea. And the little cat likes to “help out” meaning that as I scoop up the poops he likes to try and bat it out of the scooper with his little paws. He’s very helpful.

So we had quite a few guest bloggers for this Free for all Friday! I myself did indeed post some myself, of which you can find here:

Evil? Going to Hell? Fear no more! @ Therapy in the Making
Happy Leap Day! @ Pandora’s Box
Kimchi in space @ Kat Scratch Fever

As for around here, let me recap them for you!

Death of the PC by cybrpunk
Second Internet for Security by Insomnic

My Shoulder Hurts by Sir Jorge
American Idol: Why should I care? by Lucy

Wow, that’s enough isn’t it? :D

Thanks to all of you for a great Free for all Friday. Let’s hope next month, I’ll have more sites to post to! The next Free for all Friday will be on 3/28/08. Be ready for it! If you haven’t had a chance to read any of the posts, please check them out and comment on them. They’re all pretty funny and/or informative!

Daniel here… I just had to tell you, as is my tradition on FFAF, another story about Yoshi and I. As you know Yoshi and I go way back. And I do mean waaaay back. And before you ask, he is totally older than me. So anyhoo. One time, that last year we were in high school together (he was a senior and I was a freshman) we had decided to play this joke on the school. Yes the whole school. It was one of those pep-rally things. You remember those, all the cheerleaders and the football team would put on a production with the faculty and all? It was usually like 6th period…

Anyhoo, so Yoshi had this big idea that we were gonna go under the gym into the boiler room and blow up the school… Funny right?

Wait, no. That wasn’t me and Yoshi… It was a movie I had seen..

Huh. Well now my whole post is ruined… Better luck next month! :)

So, today is February 29th. Yay leap year!

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I don’t remember ever being taught that leap year had actual rules of when it happens, and that sometimes there’s not a leap year when you’d expect there to be. They were talking about some mathematical equation on the radio yesterday and the people on the radio were very confused.

So, for those of you that, like me (and by me, I mean Katie of Kat Scratch Fever and KSF To-Go), were not taught the Rules of Leap Year, I present this simple algorithm!

if year modulo 400 is 0 then leap
else if year modulo 100 is 0 then no_leap
else if year modulo 4 is 0 then leap
else no_leap

Hopefully that clears it all up for you. Happy Friday!
PS: I’m running FFAF on my site, feel free to drop by and make a post!

Hello true believers! Free for all Friday is upon us! What is Free for all Friday? It’s the last Friday of the month where YOU get to post on MY blog. That’s right! So here are some topic suggestions:

1. Poiltics - It’s election year folks. Talk about politics.
2. American Idol - Do you hate it? Love it? Everyone’s talking about it. Why not you?
3. Ever popular - Writer’s choice!

To make a post, head on over to the FFAF page. The rules are there. Enjoy!

This post will remain sticky until FFAF is over. Please scroll down to view all entries!

Ok, since I’ve been regularly blogging for the past month now, I thought that I had better re-open up Free for all Friday (FFAF). For those of you who are not familiar with FFAF, it is a type of “meme” where on the last friday of the month, a blog is opened up for the public to make posts. This month, it’ll be on Feb 29, so it’s kinda convenient, since that’s the day where I can take a break from blogging for Blog 365.

I’ll set up a form for you to be able to make your post, and you will have the opportunity to make a post about anything you want, just make sure you pimp your site, so people will come visit. Especially if you are also participating in FFAF!

There are rules, however, but they are outlined on the FFAF form. Obviously, nothing like porn or excessive spamming. That would be bad and unethical. Next Friday, be here to make a post!
