140 – Characters Can Also Make A Difference, Courtesy Twitter Stories
2011-11-02 11:38:00 Social media or social networking has a “Cool” image. It is generally associated with celebrities, news, gossip, publicity and visibility. In 2011 social media sites and users have shown signs of maturity and of utilizing the medium for not just fun but to address and tackle serious issues as well. In August 2010 Twitter had announced a project titled ‘Twitter Tales’. That project has been refined and has given birth to Twitter Stories, which was launched yesterday. The reason behind this initiative has been perfectly summed up on Twitter’s official blog, which says “Each story reminds us of the humanity behind Tweets that make the world smaller”. For those on Twitter, the medium is an integral part of their communication procedure. Highlighting tweets which have had a positive impact on the users will provide more endearing feature to Twitter. One of the most interesting and heartwarming stories featured on Twitter Stories is that of Chris Strouth. His “Sh*t I need...

Does MMA Need More "Characters"?
2011-04-21 17:52:00 One of the predominant issues prohibiting full mainstream acceptance of MMA is the abundance of "characters" that still permeate the sport. And by using the term "characters", I am really glossing over the term that most people would use for these athletes . . . Take Michael Bisping. Bisping was one of the winners on The Ultimate Fighter 3. Initially, he presented himself as a brash, yet reasonably well-spoken, Brit with some smooth stand-up skills and a decent ground game. The UFC understandably coddled him due to his cross-Atlantic appeal and, for awhile, he won a number of fights against a series of middleweight "gate keepers". When he stepped up in competition, however (see Henderson, Dan and Silva, Wanderlei), Bisping...

Gamer Rants: The problem with female video game characters
2010-10-06 05:15:00 FAIL: The Problem with Female Video Game Characters - By Josh "vVv Zero" Stiles, edited by Jerry "LordJerith" Prochazka I figure I'd tackle a topic that has showed its ugly head once more in a beloved franchise. Let's get to hating on the girls, okay? (OK, so maybe I just got dumped. Maybe things got "complicated." I'll never tell.) Most video games feature strong dominant male leads that show off their manliness by blowing shit up and looking like they are having fun doing it. We idolize them, and some of us wish we could be as badass as Solid Snake or as cool as Nathan Drake. And on the other side of the spectrum, we've got our female leads....

How do you measure up to the Sex & the City Characters?
2010-06-25 17:16:00 Just about every Sex and the City fan considers themselves a "Carrie", a "Samantha", a "Charlotte", and to a lesser degree a "Miranda". Fact of the matter, is that each character represents a component part of many single girls' personalities. For instance, one too many dirty martinis and bam! a person might exhibit the libido of Samantha's character (or a teenage boy!). Or who hasn't pulled a Carrie and splurged on that perfect date outfit in lieu stashing their tax refund? Read on to see how the average woman stacks up to the Sex and the City characters ...

Is it OK to grieve in 140 characters?
2010-01-11 18:44:00 The world may never have heard of 2-year-old Bryson Ross if it weren't for Twitter. More specifically, if it weren't for Bryson's mother tweeting last month after her son fell into a backyard swimming pool and died.When Casey Johnson, the heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune and girlfriend of reality TV star Tila Tequila, died last week, Tequila poured her heart out over Twitter. She wasn't alone. So did Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.In both situations, a heated debate ensued. Some immediately questioned sharing such intimate feelings with people they've never met online, while others credited the mourners with opening up and sharing their feelings.That raises quite an interesting question: Is it in poor taste to mourn in public...

Great customer service in 140 characters or less
2009-02-17 12:39:00 I was working at home yesterday. Actually, I was trying to work at home when suddenly my Internet connection dropped. I made a phone call and waited a few minutes but it wasn’t coming back. Me without an Internet connection is sort of like a baseball player stepping into the batters box without a bat — pretty much useless. Frustrated at my luck I grabbed my BlackBerry and do what I always do in times like these: I wrote about it on Twitter. Then something amazing happened. Just a few minutes later, before I even got a live person on the phone calling into Comcast, I got a reply on Twitter from a Comcast customer service rep. He stayed in touch throughout the mornng and confirmed when service had been restored. Of course by this time I had already moved on to the coffee place around the corner but I really appreciated the attention. To me, this was a particularly easy way to use social media effectively for business… And proof of why most businesses should really have ...

The Four Best Beloved Children's Characters Who Are Not Quite What They See
2009-01-15 16:03:00 It's a SemiDaily List! Parents, other than me, like to think that they are strictly controlling what their children watch, or that someone, at least, is strictly controlling what their kids watch. That is, either parents place limits on what kids, especially little kids, can watch on TV and in the movies, or they petition the government and TV stations to place limits on that so that they can be lazy and not parent themselves. Either way, though, most parents generally make at least a half-hearted attempt to make sure their kids aren't being exposed to harmful influences. But is it enough to simply say "Make sure there's no naked breasts and that the characters don't say anything more harsh than "Dang it."? I think not. I think not because first, who says "Dang It" anymore? That's what I wondered when The Boy last night got a little frustrated with the flipbook of Newton's Laws of Motion he was making... ... and the fact that a junior in high school is learning Newton...
ANY SIMILARITY TO ACTUAL EVENTS OR CHARACTERS IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL
2009-01-07 13:11:00 Films often tell a story through a series of images and attempts to construct a reality. At the end of the film a disclaimer appears to explain that similarities to reality are coincidental, neither intentional nor accidental. Coincidence is the word that etymologically explains these matters. The word comes from the Latin co-incidere, which defines a situation where two entities exist or occur at the same time and in similar or identical forms. Likewise, this is how photography works: the document generated by the camera coincides with a similar situation or object that is held in our minds. The gap between these two almost identical images (one documented and one recalled from a personal archive) generates the ambiguity of the document.London Art Fair 2009 - Photo50London Art Fair 2009

Java: Numbers only String by removing non numeric characters
2008-07-31 14:05:00 With Java, deleting non numeric characters (letters, symbols etc) from a string to produce a numbers-only String is a common requirement in web applications, as application users are used to insert numeric values with non-numeric characters. For example a phone number will be entered with (-) characters like;650-212-5710. A price value may be entered with (,) characters like;12,500.00In Java, java.lang.Character class has a method; isDigit() which can be used to identify whether a character is a digit or not. Following method can be used for extracting a numbers-only string.public static String getOnlyNumerics(String str) { if (str == null) { return null; } StringBuffer strBuff = new StringBuffer(); char c; for (int i = 0; i < str.length() ; i++) { c = str.charAt(i); if (Character.isDigit(c)) { strBuff.append(c); } } return strBuff.toString();}Calling above method with any String will return a numbers-onl... |
