Lunch, originally uploaded by sangsara.

A new sandwich shop has opened in my office building. These fat ones cost only 2.50 each. Bacon and tuna if you were wondering. I guess i’m pretty happy to have something new to eat.

A breakdancing accident that I somehow missed until Joystiq posted a remix today. It’s big on YouTube, with quite a few remixes.

Here’s the original:

With awesome English subs! They ripped off Michael Jackson’s Thriller concept, added dance moves from Beat It, and improved the lyrics a thousandfold.

Share mobile photos with Radar [cNet Crave]
Yahoo! Tech blog thoughts on Radar

I’m extremely excited about Radar, having just uploaded my first photo. It’s like a visual twitter, and only for your friends. So it’s like flickr + your friends + TV. Every day as you go about your business and take cameraphone photos of interesting things, you send them to Radar. And when you’ve got a bunch of friends doing that, you can see what everyone’s days have been like. It’s a continuous photostream of the recent past, in theory. I can only think of one friend with an unlimited mobile data plan, but hopefully more will play along. The days are long boring. I need my friendflickrTV.

There’s a custom app I’m about to download, but it will work even without it. You can see thumbnails of all your contacts’ photos through a page on your phone browser, or you can see them from a browser on a regular PC. The difference between Radar and flickr (that I can discern), is that Radar is strictly for friends. And it has an official Facebook app for integration (flickr hasn’t done it yet). Facebook, of course, is how I found Radar in the first place.

Facebook gadget on iGoogle page, originally uploaded by sangsara.

I love the open widget/gadget platforms that Google and Facebook have going. It makes everything interoperable and keeps me very happy. Now I can have stuff all over the place, and integrate them on a small handful of frequently visited sites. Like my iGoogle start page. It prevents me from forgetting to check in, and keeps everyone in view.

Adbusters : The Magazine – #71 Beginnings of Sorrow / Generation F*cked: How Britain is Eating Its Young

On the whole, British children were more disconnected from their families, with nearly half of 15-year-old boys spending most nights out with friends, compared to just 17 percent of their French counterparts. Forty percent of UK youth had sex before age 15, compared with 15 percent of Polish teens. They drank nearly four times as much as the Italians, and, perhaps most saliently, had the lowest sense of subjective well-being among all the youth surveyed.

Noting that many UK-born Muslim children feel culturally distinct from both the inward-looking attitudes of their immigrant parents, and from established religious communities that “fail to recognise and relate to the challenges facing the youth,” she argued that the turn toward extremism is all too easy when “issues such as lack of integration, identity crises and their roles in this society” are left to children to decipher by themselves.

Well worth reading today. Although we may not have the violence, we have here ourselves a burgeoning case of social stratification and consumerist despair. The article states most UK youth are statistically unable to afford a house of their own (and start their families) until the age of 34. Hey, that sounds familiar. [via pumpkineyes]

As if this weren’t funny enough, the English “lyrics” subtitled underneath send it over the edge!

Long pointless post ahead.

This is the text that comes with it, and since I refuse to sign up for facebook, this blog is where I’m gonna dump it.

SUPPOSEDLY if you’ve seen over 85 films, you have no life. Mark the ones you’ve seen. There are 239 films on this list. Copy this list, go to your own facebook account, paste this as a note. Then, put x’s next to the films you’ve seen, add them up, change the header adding your number, and click post at the bottom. Have fun.

I’ve moved it (and myself) to Facebook!
