The Matrix runs on Windows
By far one of the most hilarious spoofs I have seen done about the Matrix…
Get favicon for url from Google
This script gets the favicon for a website from Google. This works most of the time but not all of the time because Google has to have indexed the favicon at one point. If it was never indexed the icon defaults to a picture of the earth. The image is returned as a png which could be used cleverly next to the link to the website.

Mondays
Today is Monday and I feel sort of like this…
I laugh so hard at this
Testing this embed feature for the blog and to also post a video I find hilarious. It is a fake conversation between a web developer and and a possible client.
Increasing my value
I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about the skills I have in the web development field and what I am good at and what I need work in. Primarily I have been thinking about what I need to increase my value as a web developer and make me marketable either for employment with a firm or as a freelancer.
Change Google Chrome user agent easily
Google Chrome
I have come across a way to change the user agent for Google Chrome very easily. I found a lot of sites that went into details on editing the chrome.dll and was a little too much work in my opinion. Then I found a bit of information added by a user in a comment and gave it a try and what do you know… it worked!
The first rule of fight club is….
So about a week ago me and my girlfriend, her two brothers and some others went downtown to a club to celebrate one of my girlfriend’s brother’s 21st birthday. The night was really cool. It was a pretty cool club and we all had fun and got a little to drink (some more then others).
I parked the car about 6 or 7 blocks away and me, my girlfriend, and her brother were all walking back to the car when we saw this guy yanking on this girl in side of a car yelling “get out of the car bitch!”. My girlfriend pushed this guy away from the girl and then he pushed my girlfriend then I pushed real hard and he walked away. Then what seemed like a whole mob of people jumped out of these two cars and the guy we had pushed walked right back up and hit my girlfriend closed fist and knocked her out. I went after the guy and after that it was pretty much all a blur. I know that I had more then one person on me, may be even three people. I just remember swinging at anything that was near me at that point. In the end I think I came out okay but the picture looks a little worse then it really was.
