4800 seconds of spontaneous surfing and sharing

So strange how these two pictures appeared on my Facebook Live Feed. It must be some kind of omen, right? Dionysus must be sending these photos and telling me in the future something like, “I told you so”.

At last, Mashable’s Open Web Awards is now accepting votes. After a month of nominations, it’s now down to the top five of each category. Anyone can vote as long as you have a Twitter or Facebook account.

I’m more interested in the top Facebook game category. The contenders are Pet Society, Fish Wrangler, MouseHunt, Ghost Trappers (yey!), and BattleStations.

Please, please vote for Ghost Trappers. XD

The polls will run until December 13 and the results will be out two days after, December 15.

How come whenever we find sample code on the net, when we read geeky books, or whenever we develop, it has one of these.

foo
Is this poo? Or FU?

foo bar
Edible? I hope not if it’s  related to the first one I mentioned above.

x
Why use x out of the 26 letters? It’s not even part of the keys on your keyboard you should properly place your fingers. I suggest from now on, we use f. It’s easier to press and with the number of times we type foo, I’m sure we won’t have a trouble adjusting.

No x there…

John Doe
Some lucky guy who accidentally got famous after a cult of programmers decided to use him as the default user of not just one or two but all of their software dev projects. He is mysteriously related to Adam, Bob, and Carl.

Juan dela Cruz a.k.a. Juan de la Cruz
Of course Filipinos have our own John Doe. His name was used as a default name even before programming existed.

Hello world!
The world never answered back. Sad. Despite the millions of times programmers all over the globe said hello.

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog
Foxes don’t go near dogs. They are even afraid of those “scary-looking” beagles.

…lean, mean hunting machine…
(foxes not included upon purchase)

Lorem Ipsum
Because “The quick brown fox…” was too short so some guy decided to write a paragraph of this. A lot have tried decoding, but failed. The secret message is still shrouded in mystery. Apparently hard to solve than the Da Vinci code.

Please nominate my favorite Facebook game, Ghost Trappers in this year’s Open Web Awards by Mashable. No, I’m not influencing you to nominate.Ghost Trappers.Ghost Trappers.Ghost Trappers.Ghost Trappers.Ghost Trappers…

Putting that aside, the Open Web Awards is now in its 3rd year. Hooray! As an advocate of the power of social media, Mashable in partnership with Motorola came up with this online awards. People get to nominate and vote his or her favorite social media stuff (game, app, company, etc.). Anything that we see that rocks the web and social media. The contest has a lot of categories to list here. Just login using your Twitter or Facebook account and nominate.

Deadline for nominations is on November 15. After the nominations, top 5 nominees will advance to the voting round from which we can vote as winner of that category. Voting starts November 18 until December 13. Winners will be announced on December 15.

So there. Please nominate. Ghost Trappers.

This is actually the best video I’ve seen in a while. And to top it off, it’s the best software advertisement from what I’ve seen so far. Makes you wish surfing the internet was really like this. Nicely done Motion Theory and Google for producing this video. I love the song also by Tim Meyers.
