FOF #1250 – Betty White for Mayor of Chicago

Chicago’s Mayor Richard M. Daley pulled a Steven Slater by shocking everyone when he announced that he won’t run for office again. So, who will be the next mayor? Can’t people just check in on Foursquare to become Mayor of Chicago?

Chances are, if you leave it to Facebook, Betty White will become the next queen of the Windy City.

After 21 years leading the nation’s 3rd largest city, Chicago’s Mayor Richard M. Daley pulled a Steven Slater by shocking everyone when he announced that he won’t run for office again when his term expires next year.

The usually aggressive leader is taking a hands-off approach, telling voters to pick whomever they like, as he won’t be making any recommendations or choosing a successor.

Anyone could be the next Mayor, meaning next year’s election could be one of the most colorful political races the nation has seen since voters in California ousted Gray Davis and replaced him with the Governator Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Who will be crowned king of the Windy City? Ron Huberman? Rahm Emanuel? Ronnie Woo Woo? Snookie?

Can’t people just check in on Foursquare to become Mayor of Chicago?

Chances are, if you leave it to Facebook, Betty White will become the next queen of the Windy City. And yes, there is already a Facebook page to choose Betty White (thankfully I didn’t have to create it and this meme is as old in internet years as Betty White is in real life).

Apple Releases “Ping”, A New Social Networking Feature For iTunes

Apple Releases “Ping”, A New Social Networking Feature For iTunes

Just the other day, whilst I was listening to my new favorite song “I Like That” by the Static Revengers on my iPhone, it occurred to me that Apple has dabbled in most forms of electronic media, but has yet done much of anything with social networking. That has changed.

Today an update to iTunes and the iPhone was released that paved the way for Apple “change everything…again.” It’s called Ping, and it utilizes some functionality of Apple’s recent acquisition, Lala.com. It basically operates like Facebook in many ways, only with a focus on music. For example, any music you buy, like, review, or comment on will show up in your recent activity.

It’s really a great start, but there are a few things I would add. First, the ability to add friends, or “follow” them, is limited to typing in their e-mail address or name. It works, but not as well as many sites who utilize Facebook or Twitter Connect to find the friends you already have. I have no interest in going through all 1500 of my friends to figure out who I want to add, then figure out if they have an email address. I also feel like the ability to add what song you are currently listening to into your feed from your iPhone screen. That may come with future updates, however.

Also included in the new update was a new app called Game Center, though I haven’t had a chance to really look at that yet.

I love how slutty these dance girls are in this B movie “The Horrors of Spider Island.” The dance troupe auditions are so campy that I’d love to see drag queen recreate it. Bonus, there’s even a lesbian couple among the girls.

Plot: A plane crash leaves an all girl dance troupe stranded on a deserted island where a mutant spider bite turns the troupe’s male manager into a monster.

In Canada, they painted a three dimension image of a kid running after a ball to slow down motorists.

From the article-

From the far distance the image will look like just a mark on the road, but the image of the girl and ball will appear to rise up from the road when the car is 30 meters away. At shorter distances, the image recedes again. If drivers are traveling at the posted speed of 30 km/h, they will be able to stop in time when they realize they are seeing an image of a child on the road.
