Wednesday Seven and a Half: Cause I'm going to Mexico!

1. FriendFeedFeed. Indeed.

2. LifestreamBlog reports that the new version of NoseRub will be able to add a URL as a contact. If the concept sounds bizarre bordering on useless, let me put it in this non-anchor text way: You can add the URL of friend's blog (or, perhaps better, FriendFeed page) and NoseRub will find all the services that pertain to that person (provided they use the appropriate tag attributes). So, you put in the FriendFeed profile page, and it adds all the services listed on that page to that "friend" on NoseRub.

3. Joey has a video of casting for the Notorious B.I.G. Please note: probably not the real casting call for Notorious B.I.G.

4. Did some experimenting with Piknik on Flickr. Piknik has a "Lomo" filter, but only for premium users, so I was trying to see if I could come up with the same kind of effects using the free filters.

Ice Paintings Effectized

5. If the gas prices are getting to you, you may be able to take some small comfort in the fact that if the China continues at its current rate of inflation, in 5 years, a Papa John's pizza will cost $129. If you're not wondering where we'll get our clothes from then, you're probably still stuck on: They have Papa John's in China??? Yeah, took me a while too...

6. Who knew house painters were so eager for work?

7. I'm a little bit upset that I'll be going to Mexico when it finally breaks 50 in Chicago (for this first time this year?), since it'll be back down to the always annoying high 30's when I get back. But, oh wait, I'm going to Mexico!

7.5 Time to stare off into space for a second. You know you want to.
