Mark. Zuckerberg.

Mark Zuckerberg.  Mark.  Zuckerberg.  He was ONLY a Harvard undergraduate when he decided to create facebook. (which was formerly known as FaceMash)  UNBELIEVEABLE.  Initally, he was brought down by Harvard for exposing identity information, but obviously that didn’t keep him down.   Heck, he was asked to work for Google and Microsoft even before admittance to any college.  Imagine all the things that I could do… all I need is just that one big idea.

You asked…and you will receive

On the most recent diggnation, Alex and Kevin were talking about creating a Pragerpedia site.  Just 3 hours after the show, a site was created by a die hard fan: http://www.pragerpedia.net/  I’m not quite sure what Peter (the creator) plans on doing with all the stored knowledge of Prager, but it’s pretty hot that a site was up and running so quickly.  Oh the wonders of the internet.

I have to admit that I half-expected Alex and Kevin to create the site.  I also half-wanted it.

There are several things that wordpress is lacking that I would love to change.  First of all, I would love to import all of my entries.  Indeed, the wise alec would say, but marsbarz you have entries dating back to 2004, but oh no no mr. alec, it does not include my adventure into Tumblr-land.  Second, there’s no option to completely delete all of my entries.  It takes awhile, especially if I have >1000 entries.  Deleting my entries means going through 17 entries at a time and deleting each set, only to find another page of my life as 17 entries.  This tedious task should be taken over by a simple button.   I was going to point out another feature of wordpress that I didn’t like, but it seems that since I’ve upgraded my webpaging capabilities, it’s available!  HOT STUFF!  Before, I wasn’t allowed to add a video from any site other than google.videos or youtube, but now, by some miracle and possibly my $10, I can use any url.  YES!

As you can see, my website isn’t up to par yet…I need to personalize it.  I’m going to practice my photoshopping skills to create a better header.  If you have any suggestions, definitely leave me a comment.

Ciao.
