I was just reading my past rants and came across this particular post where I ranted about Vonage’s job posting…back when Vonage was at its peak and a lot of people were gullible enough to switch to Vonage.

Now that Vonage is pretty much going under (which goes to prove that shit painted gold is still shit) I am still proud to say that Vonage still sucks, and I am glad I did not switch to their service. I can’t wait for the day this cocky company shut their doors for good.

My own little contribution to the world of WordPress: Google Adsense Widget. 

I was compelled to write this because I couldn’t get the *other* Google Adsense Widget to work on WP 2.3.  Don’t be too impressed; it’s rather easy to write a widget because the WP Widget API made it so easy.  And with the help of this boilerplate, it’s even easier!

Anyhoo…to use this widget, drop the .php file on your WP plugins directory, activate it…and under Presentation tab you should see it as one of the widgets, fill in your google adsense info; select 1 or 2 banners…and voila!

• Peter Stormare.  If the dictionary needed to use an image to define the word “cool,” Peter’s photo would be it.  I would take a really tight picture of his face while he’s totally wasted/drunk…and he would still look f*cking cool.  Only Peter Stormare can pull that off.
• Patricia Arquette.  Why her?  Well, why not?  She’s one of the finest actresses that walked the Earth.  I imagine taking a picture of her as she’s taking her morning coffee or tea in her home kitchen. 
• Samuel Jackson.    He would have been the coolest person in my book if he hadn’t made “Shaft.”  Gawd, that was a terrible movie.  I will only take a picture of his piercing stare…just his eyes.  That will scare the hell out of everyone who looks at it…
• Giada de Laurentiis.  Most photos you will see of her is with her trademark smile…I would take a photo of her from the neck up, hair up, little make up…and NOT smiling…in fact, I want to take a picture of her genuinely pissed.  I would try to piss her off before I click the shutter.
• Edward Norton.  The greatest actor who ever graced Hollywood.  White background.  Him on a bar stool.  I would try my best to make him laugh.  Then I would take a picture of him while laughing.
• Steve Jobs.  Tight shot of his face in B&W.  Spray of blood on his face.  People would be guessing if it’s blood or something else…
• Woody Allen.  He is the breathing evidence of why God exists.  Imagine if he had Brad Pitt’s look with all that talent and wealth… ALL women would flock to him.  I would take a picture of him playing the clarinet on a NYC subway station with a really wide angle lens in grainy black and white.
• M. Night Shyamalan.  This is easy.  I would take a picture of him on a field, him in a Yoga position next to a HUGE pile of dung.  If we can’t manage to get a pile of dung…a stack of DVDs of his movies since “The Sixth Sense” will do.
• Howard Stern.  Silhoutte of him in side view.  Screaming.  F*ck yes.
• Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.  I have no idea on how I would do it but I’m pretty sure it’s going to be very difficult to screw up this one.

That’s it.  I’m not even sure why I wrote this.  But, hey, If any one of you on the list is reading my blog…
