I love podcasts and one particular podcast i enjoy is GeekBrief, they provide most of my tech news in a couple a minutes a day! Impossible you say, well give it a go! So like i usually do i was getting ready to watch my daily episode, and i saw that the usual 3-5 minute episode was a shocking 9+ minutes! I was excited because more Cali time, is a good time (Hi Cali)! So as i was downloading the episode i glanced at the title something about woopra! I was oooh what is this new social networking site i can say i hate till everyone i know joins it! Maybe a new web2.0 software group. Shocking it was something i could put to use immediately or in the near future on my own blog! Woopra is a real time analytics software which runs on your blog to show you who, what, when, where, from where of all the visitors on your site. Privacy you scream, well don’t worry they don’t give away anything you already haven’t handed then it just gathers it so the blog owner can review certain things about the traffic and people she/he attracts with his blog and what kind of google, stumble, digg and technorati traffic his/her blog creates. Sign up for Woopra, it gives you wiiiiiiiiiiiiings!

Check out Cali’s exclusive Brief with the creator of Woopra John.

Here is why i think dell will always, outlast any other computer company, there product is just everywhere, even if they aren’t the best machines on average but bang for buck they have no contenders! Plus they are everywhere!! And for that reason alone i believe is why they ended up in the following parody.

Dont you just hate it when you have to wipe your whole music collection on your iPod when you want a single song from your friend when your at his place. Well if you don’t you must have alot a patience and money, because i have bills to pay and i just can’t sit there and wait for wiping out and uploading my whole collection.  Here is where Mojo comes in they have achieve music sharing for our iTunes libraries over the internet and home networks! They have achieved both of this for Macs. Windows is still a bit behind with just home network transfers and such! The functionality Mojo bring to the table is amazing they allow for monitoring of specific playlists for changes and letting you download it. e.g your friend has some pimp ass jazz music and he keeps it all in the playlist called pimp ass jazz. You have Mojo monitor it for you and it will sync your music library with his playlist pimp ass jazz, or you can even place it with your own playlist called friend’s pimp ass jazz playlist! The combinations are limitless! I just can’t wait till they release it for the internet. But you can always use hamachi with the current windows release and make Mojo work over the internet under the guise of hamachi. Cleaver huh? Konichiwa!!

Now, i bet many of you have read this article on how Julio Diaz, social worker brought out the human, in all of us with his remarkable story!

Julio Diaz has a daily routine. Every night, the 31-year-old social worker ends his hour-long subway commute to the Bronx one stop early, just so he can eat at his favorite diner.

But one night last month, as Diaz stepped off the No. 6 train and onto a nearly empty platform, his evening took an unexpected turn.

He was walking toward the stairs when a teenage boy approached and pulled out a knife.

“He wants my money, so I just gave him my wallet and told him, ‘Here you go,’” Diaz says.

As the teen began to walk away, Diaz told him, “Hey, wait a minute. You forgot something. If you’re going to be robbing people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my coat to keep you warm.”

The would-be robber looked at his would-be victim, “like what’s going on here?” Diaz says. “He asked me, ‘Why are you doing this?’”

Diaz replied: “If you’re willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars, then I guess you must really need the money. I mean, all I wanted to do was get dinner and if you really want to join me … hey, you’re more than welcome.

“You know, I just felt maybe he really needs help,” Diaz says.

Diaz says he and the teen went into the diner and sat in a booth.

“The manager comes by, the dishwashers come by, the waiters come by to say hi,” Diaz says. “The kid was like, ‘You know everybody here. Do you own this place?’”

“No, I just eat here a lot,” Diaz says he told the teen. “He says, ‘But you’re even nice to the dishwasher.’”

Diaz replied, “Well, haven’t you been taught you should be nice to everybody?”

“Yea, but I didn’t think people actually behaved that way,” the teen said.

Diaz asked him what he wanted out of life. “He just had almost a sad face,” Diaz says.

The teen couldn’t answer Diaz — or he didn’t want to.

When the bill arrived, Diaz told the teen, “Look, I guess you’re going to have to pay for this bill ’cause you have my money and I can’t pay for this. So if you give me my wallet back, I’ll gladly treat you.”

The teen “didn’t even think about it” and returned the wallet, Diaz says. “I gave him $20 … I figure maybe it’ll help him. I don’t know.”

Diaz says he asked for something in return — the teen’s knife — “and he gave it to me.”

Afterward, when Diaz told his mother what happened, she said, “You’re the type of kid that if someone asked you for the time, you gave them your watch.”

“I figure, you know, if you treat people right, you can only hope that they treat you right. It’s as simple as it gets in this complicated world.”

So I am hearing the noise around the jungle ( pronounce: university) that this Saturday, that it’s supposed to be Earth Hour, between the hours of 8:00 and 9:00 pm! I think is a serious delusion, do you seriously believe people will stop reading my blog for an hour!? By that mere fact alone, will keep the power on, also what the hell do we gain other than a horrible hour, of boredom and time waste (thats a real battle to fight,unlike abortion and pandas). Its not all wall socket power appliances its all battery powered electronics, the whole sha-banga bang! Now picture yourself, sitting in front of your powerless laptop, no more churning hard drives, buzzing wall sockets, no more blissful, windows errors nothing! FOR AN HOUR! In my opinion its useless it won’t succeed and even if it does, what did we gain. More energy? more self control? did we do anything to help with world out of the situation it is in now? No! No! and No! Thats why i am saying if you want to turn off your electronics between the hours of 8-9pm on Saturday March 29th 2008, your more than welcome but don’t go to sleep feeling as if you did something. When in all actuality you did nothing than power down your iPod for an hour, and sit there in candle light. ( you badass mother- shut your mouth!)
