Yes, I know it leaks memory. That's by design. I think it's how the creator of BadgerBadgerBadger would have wanted it. This way, my computer feels the same way as I do after watching it for many iterations.
How to tell if a Web 2.0 company is doomed from the start
(September 13th, 2006 - 10:13PM)
You ask: "How do you plan to make money?"
They answer: "Advertisements."
Everyone seems to think that setting up a free website and filling it with ads is a substitute for a sound business plan. News flash: The economy can't be powered by Google AdSense alone. If you really want your company to make money, it might be prudent to provide a service that people will actually pay for.
After a long time out of virtual class and an even longer time out of the real deal, I'm back at BCIT. Don't call it a comeback. I've been here for years.
Tonight I went to my new class, Entrepreneurial Management. The instructor's a really nice guy, but he seems more like a motivational speaker than a teacher. His enthusiasm is a great way to start the course, but I really hope the sales pitch doesn't encompass the entire curriculum.
In tonight's class, I learned that starting my own business is a great way to solve all my problems and fulfill my lame-ass destiny. So far I'm convinced. Now I just have to learn how to do it. I guess that'll take me the rest of the term.
Notes to put in a time capsule to the Steve Kwan of 2043

If time travel has been invented, please come back and visit me.
Are you bald yet?
I've been building Steve Kwan dot com almost entirely out of XML. Is that a decision I'm going to regret when I get to my millionth post?
Right now there's a "Web 2.0" movement going on. It's basically just a buzzword touted by a bunch of fame-seeking windbags. Remember that? Are you up to Web 42.0 yet? Do Web 42.0 sites use 100pt font?
I've been browsing OkCupid to look for dates. I apologize in advance.
Have I finally finished my BCIT degree?
Has Canada been annexed into the United States yet? If so, do not vote for George Bush Jr. Jr.! His plan to invade Scotland will go horribly wrong.
What's it like being a trillionaire who's married to Jennifer Connelly Jr.?
I almost didn't recognize Steve Carell with all the facial hair.

One sentence summary: Like Napoleon Dynamite, but not as dry.
While I was watching Litle Miss Sunshine, I couldn't help but be reminded of Napoleon Dynamite.
The two movies have a lot in common. They're both dry comedies. They both have protagonists that are kind of pathetic and make you feel sorry for them. And they both end with a dance sequence. The big difference is that Little Miss Sunshine is a lot funnier.
Napoleon Dynamite was a good movie, but the humour was so subtle that a lot of people missed it. No such mistake will be made with Little Miss Sunshine. It starts off on a depressing note, and at first I wasn't sure if this movie would be legitimately funny or would be one of those "art" comedies that's really just depressing. But it turned around quickly.
The cast did a great job, and the movie also does a great job of illustrating just how creepy child beauty pageants are. This is a movie that's sad in a lot of ways, but it's also a great movie about the importance of family during the hard times.
