But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!

Facebook AppI just finished my first facebook app. Let me rephrase that. I just started and finished my first facebook app…in under an hour.

Not to go on another rant about API’s, but Facebook utilizes REST…and this shit be done quick. I have only scratched the surface of what this can do.

This is my “Hello World” App.

App Name: Who is the biggest douche?
App URL: apps.facebook.com/biggestdouche
App Desc: A myriad of complex algorithms, on par with Google’s Latent Semantic Indexing, quickly scan your facebook friends and find the biggest DOUCHE!

So there it is. My first facebook app. Enjoy! And don’t be offended if you happen to pop-up…it’s just a joke…sorta. This is Beta so please send me any feedback. Thoughts and suggestions will be completely ignored but it’s fun to hear stupid ideas anyway.

Harold and Kumar suckedI will keep this short and quick. I won’t throw in any spoilers but I must say, it’s the same movie. They didn’t create anything new. They followed the formula of the first movie and thought it would work again. Kal Penn and John Cho phoned in their performances. At times they seemed really disinterested with the characters.

It doesn’t help that both actors are telling reporters that they do not smoke pot and Kal Penn is a vegetarian. Way to ruin the suspension of disbelief.

The first one is a timeless cult classic. This one had some funny moments.

Moments…

Dead

If you take a look at the line-up for this summer’s Rock The Bells tour, you will notice something quite evident…hip hop is dead. Well hip hop the culture will never die, but rap is DEAD!

Look at the line-up. It’s every act from the mid 90s. Tribe, Pharcyde, Meth and Red, Ghostface and Raekwon, Nas and Mos Def.

Where are the new rappers? What Da Phuk happened?

Twitter“Where would this nation be if the first Continental Congress convened to jot down a petition to King George but never got around to it because they got too distracted poking Betsey Ross and checking out Thomas Jefferson’s Twitter feed?”

If only every single API in the world used REST. Representational State Transfer to be exact. It’s so brilliant, yet so simple. It’s one of those things that you look at and think, why the phuk wasn’t this thought of years ago? How could we have been so stupid. Why the phuk do I have to decrypt a WSDL file for Netsuite? Why in the world do I need struggle and spend my entire Sunday debugging the nusoap library because the SOAP headers aren’t properly formatted. Why?

Yes, I am pissed! When I take a look at Twitters API which utilizes the REST architecture, I can’t believe how easy it is. It’s natural language. I construct the URL based upon the info I am trying to receive, and by changing the extension I can control how I receive the response.

It’s so phuking simple: 

http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/lakeshowonline.rss

That’s the Twitter timeline for lakeshowline. If I want to include the friend list, I change user_timeline to friend_timeline. If I want to pull a different user, I change lakeshowonline.rss to whatdaphuk.rss. Want a serialized JavaScript array instead of RSS? lakeshowonline.rss to lakeshowonline.json

Holy phuk, a 3 year old can do this. Will someone please euthanize the developer of SOAP and the god-awful WSDL?!? It’s unbelievable that this is now only coming into use via the Web 2.0 API’s. Why did we make Webservices (SOAP, XML-RPC) so complicated when it could be so easy? Then again, why is George Bush president?

Seriously, if your API isn’t utilizing REST, go phuking fix it.

  1. Kobe finally won the MVP award. I take full credit for it. It was my flash overlay that I took from NBA.com 2 weeks after the votes were in that sealed the deal.
  2. Almost finished with the Channel Advisor API for SHOEBACCA. w00t w00t (entourage)
  3. I am becoming addicted to twitter and facebook. This is horrible.
  4. phuk myspace
  5. Volt Stone eat space roaches for lunch,  douche bags for dinner, and pieces of shit for breakfast.

DonateA friend of mine is participating in the Revlon Run/Walk For Women on May 10th. Due to my prolific following it was only natural for her to ask me to promote awareness for this cause. I guess I can take a break from being a complete douche bag for a minute and do something nice.

If you haven’t donated to charity this year, here is your chance. This is the perfect cause. Cancer affects our mothers, sisters, aunts, girlfriends and wives. We need to raise as much money as possible to support research.

I am not asking you, I am telling you…donate now. It will be the best thing you have done all year.

Donate
