I’m not talking about the weather this time, sorry. But I’m actually talking to all you Beautiful Young ladies that read my blog every hour of every day. (Hey, a guy can dream right?)
Well I have a message for you inspiring Models, and the message is that Look of the Year is looking for participants to take part in their online Beauty Contest.
To participate, all you have to do is head on over to http://www.lookoftheyear.com and upload your best photo and fill in some of your personal information. After you have completed that visitors to the site will rate all the participants, including you, and the results will be updated on the web site.
If you just happen to win, a few things can happen like, you will get get recognized, win $10,000 USD, or you may even get spotted by an agency for model career.
So, all you pretty young ladies, get uploading them pretty pictures of yourselves, and give us guys something to oogle at. You know you wanna.
I suppose I should mention that the contest is open to guys also, but I’m not really interested in oogeling at guys, just the ladies, sorry.
Seems the word ‘oogling’ and ‘oogle‘ are my new words for this week.

You have probably seen the ads on my site for this online video site and may or may have not clicked on it just to see what it is all about. But if you haven’t, and you’re really into online live broadcast video blogging, then you might want to check them out.
When you first enter the site you’re greeted with a live show that just happens to be featured on the very front page. These are videos of average everyday people like you and me that are getting their fifteen minutes of fame.
There are also some spotlight live tv shows that range from anything from Comedy shows, to Concerts. And for some added fun they also feature some sweet contests that you can take part in.
If you do enter the site and watch a couple of live streams, you’ll notice some of the neat features on the broadcasts, like the ability to add a Co-Host and have a double pain window with chat.
Myself I enjoy watching the comedy broadcasts. Some of these folk can be really funny.

I don’t think it’s such a good idea to have Yahoo Canada as my homepage when I go to do some browsing or when I open my browser to look something up.
It seem that every time I go to search something I get side tracked with the top news stories and forget why I was going online for in the first place.
I’ll go online, see something on the home page, finish with it and walk away only to go, “DOUGH! I didn’t even do what I was going to do in the first place!” and go back online to continue off where I got side tracked. And you know what? It sometimes happens twice in a row! Hows that for being easily distracted?
Maybe I should use a blank page from now on huh?
Anybody besides me that suffers from distracto-el-dummo syndrom?

It’s another round of Upgrading. Some seeded, some could have done without.
First off, it’s the much needed Wordpress 2.3.3 version with a few bug fixes that a few of you multiple author blogs might be interested in. Yea, I know, upgrades are a pain in the ass. But keep reading. I’m going to tell you about something that might make you do back flips!
WordPress 2.3.3 is an urgent security release. A flaw was found in our XML-RPC implementation such that a specially crafted request would allow any valid user to edit posts of any other user on that blog.
If you hate doing these update as much as I do, then the Wordpress Automatic Update plug-in might be something you’re longing for. To make a story short;
Gives you a link that will open in a new window to upgrade installation.
Re-activates the plugins.
The plugin can also can be run in a automated mode where in you do not have to click on any links to go to the next step.
I bet that will make a lot of your days, huh?
Secondly, if you have been using your Yahoo TV Guide and happen to live in the Maritimes, specifically in Fredericton NB, you might notice that your Rogers/Yahoo TV guide no longer allows you to actually see the channels provided by your cable company.
Apparently they made an update that was not needed. I say, “If it ain’t broken, then don’t fucking try to fix it!”
So now my usual way of seeing what going to be on the Ole’ boob tube and checking on the TV Show times is now shot to hell because half the stations that I get don’t display in their new format. It doesn’t even allow me to input the necessary information for my location, format, and provider. What’s up with that?
That pisses me off to and mostly because I’ve been using it to set up my PVR to record TV Shows while I’m at work. Bummer!
I hope they fix that thing or revert to the old guide that actually worked.
And the last thing, is either good or bad. I got my credit card statement today and I noticed a lot of extra numbers. Not owing numbers, but the available credit had a lot more numbers in it than just three.
I initially got this so I could have to make online purchases, or for emergencies. It started off with just a $300 limit, as I thought it would be more than enough. Didn’t they go and add an additional$2,000 credit limit on the account.
I have to say that my eyes popped out of my head when I saw this. This is a credit card that is for people with bad credit. LOL It’s to help gain your credit history back.
I don’t have a lot charged on it, so my payments lately have been either null, or very small. And it’s going to stay that way, dammit! So maybe that’s why they jacked it up. Trying to coax me into blowing it all away so I’ll end up owing them more money than I have.
Nice to know it’s there for one of them ‘just in case‘ moments, but I hope that moment never comes.

How many of you have wasted several hours, if not at least half your day watching all those Super Bowl ads on the internet if you actually missed them while the game was on TV? As my previous post on the talking E-Trades Baby post, these things just seem to get better and better every single year.
One of the most popular ones it seems is the one with Justin Timberlake.
I had a good laugh at that one. I especially like the ending when the HDTV whacks him in the head. LOL, I know, That’s harsh, but seriously though, it was funny. Just because I’m not really a big fan of your favorite JT song doesn’t mean he’s all that bad really. He talented, but his style of music just doesn’t fit my tastes.
If it interests you at all, then all the JT Fans might like to get some Justin Timberlake Ringtones for their cell phones which are being snatched up like wildfire over at Playphone.com. There are a few other features on that site that might interest the cell phone users that like to hear their favorite artists play when somebody calls them.
I’m going to see if I can snatch up a few of them Super Bowl ads that have some better quality on them and post theme here when I get the chance. There are so many to snoop through, it’s kind of hard to choose what ones I want to show off.
What are you favorite ads that you have seen so far?
