Top Ten Ruthies according to Google

Maybe this will change when Rod's book comes out, but currently these are the top ten suggestions when you Google the name Ruthie:

1. Ruthie Henshall - There are reasons she's at the top, IMHO.
2. Ruthie Davis - Like, shoes and sutff.
3. Ruthie Foster - Blues singer.
4. Ruthie from 7th Heaven - Cute actress Mackenzie Rosman.
5. Ruthie Camden - Same as #4.
6. Ruthie Alcaide - Alcoholic tattoo chick from real world.
7. Ruthie Real World - Same as 6.
8. Ruthie Knox - Soft-core hack.
9. Ruthie and Moe's Diner - Wow, it's in Cleveland. I'll have to check it out sometime.
10. Ruthie Sommers - Upscale interior decorator.

Check out Ruthie Sommers's pictures on that last link. She's a pretty good designer. Well, I suppose her upscale business isn't going to be affected too much by a new Ruthie on the block. Everyone knows her last name, unlike Ruthie from 7th Heaven and Ruthie Real World.

We'll check back in May '13 and see the new Ruthie list, who's in, who's out.

"That's when you takes a bathroom break dogg"

Some of my homeys here had been goofing with Gizoogling emails for a couple days, so I fizzigured I'd be the Double O G and Gizoogle this post about Jizzonah Gold-dogg.

Here's the resultin transizlation. It's kind of cool because all yizzle comments get transizlated to the G I double-zoogle in da house.

Simultaneously, Like, Brilliant and Dim

Plenty of people are brilliant in some areas and downright stupid in others. When you're a teenager, it's merely more common. Take George Hotz, age 17, iPhone cracker.

The hack, which Hotz posted Thursday on his blog, is complicated and requires skill with both soldering and software. It takes about two hours to perform. Since the details are public, it seems likely that a small industry may spring up to buy U.S. iPhones, unlock them and send them overseas.

"That's exactly, like, what I don't want," Hotz said. "I don't want people making money off this."

But George, dude, don't you know how economics works? People are always trying to make a buck off something. You just handed them a goldmine!

My first IT job in the 1980's saw me soldering at least once every 2 weeks. Now it takes me 2 hours to find my soldering iron at home, and I've never even seen one at any of my clients. And I'm willing to bet the faster you can find a soldering iron at your house the less likely it is that you own, or will ever own, an iPhone.

If Hotz really doesn't want anyone to sell their mechanic services performing this mod, then it's yet another example of how the "livin' out loud on the 'net" mentality can be detrimental to one's goals.
