6 Days, 14 Movies

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

Today, Jason and I will finally start fullfilling our goal of seeing all 14 movies at the dollar fifty movie theater in one week. We're taking off Monday, so we have 6 days to do it. Our original goal was to only have already seen no more than two of the movies between the two of us, and this week meets that criteria (I've seen 300 and Bridge to Terabithia and Jason has seen 300). That goal was really hard to accomplish since we go to the movies so often. But we've been trying to do it for over a year now, so we're pretty excited. For any one who cares at all, our jam packed movie schedule is as follows:

Friday
4:30 – Shooter (2 hrs 06 mins)
7:45 – Bridge to Terabithia (1 hr 36 mins)
10:00 – Wild Hogs (1 hr 39 mins)

Saturday
1:00 – 300 (1 hr 57 mins)
3:35 – The Ex (1 hr 30 mins)
5:35 – Premonition (1 hr 36 mins)
9:40 – 28 Weeks Later (1 hr 40 mins)

Sunday
1:00 – Are We Done Yet? (1 hr 32 mins)
3:15 – Blades of Glory (1 hr 33 mins)
5:30 – Next (1 hr 36 mins)

Monday
(No movie on Monday)

Tuesday
7:15 – Lucky You (2 hrs 4 mins)
9:30 – Vacancy (1 hr 25 mins)

Wednesday
4:15 – Perfect Stranger (1 hr 49 mins)

Thursday
9:55 – Fracture (1 hr 54 mins)

Facebook Rejected My Application

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

Facebook open up their Facebook Platform a few weeks ago, and I finally got a chance to mess around with it a little bit the other day.
I decided to go for simple and port my Baby Puncher site to a Facebook application. I threw it up there and got it working and then, after I got 5 people to add it to their applications, I tried to submit it to their public directory.

A few hours later I received an email from Facebook that said:

Hi Garrison,

Thanks for your submission of "Baby Puncher" to the Facebook Platform's Product Directory. We have reviewed your application, and unfortunately cannot yet add it to the directory because it contains offensive material. Please fix this problem and resubmit the application.

Thanks!

The Facebook Platform Team


I fail to see how punching a baby is offensive…it doesn't cry or bleed or anything. It just bounces around. There is a Facebook app called SuperPoke that replaces the poking feature of Facebook that lets you bitch-slap, lick, grope, and spank your friends. That seems just as offensive as punching babies to me.

In light of this, I'm officially starting a grassroots effort to get as many users of the Baby Puncher Facebook application as possible. Facebook shouldn't be allowed to decide what's offensive and what's awesome.

Trix Tricks

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

I bought a box of Trix the other day and on the front they advertised their “new” shape! The new shape…spherical. They used to be fruit shaped. But not always. I’m old enough to remember the original Trix shape. Bet you can’t guess what it was? That’s right, they were originally spherical. New shape my butt. Don’t try to fool me General Mills, cause once I get fooled…I can’t get fooled again.
