BayImg: Google Ads + Porn Pictures
I like the idea behind Pirate Bay’s new image hosting venture Bay Image, which is free, unrestricted image hosting outside of political influence or police control. I like the idea that visual information can find a free home. However, they have a big problem at the moment, which is the massive amounts of porn being uploaded. Just take a look at their tag cloud and it becomes clear what BayImg really is: a free porn hosting site:
They have a “report image” link, but according to their terms on the front page, these kind of images are probably ok:
Bayimg is a place where you can host all your images. We do not censor them. We believe in freedom of speech, it’s of utter importance to us. As long as your pictures are legal they will be hosted here, but we reserve the right to remove images due to technical reasons though.
Walking Dogs Downtown
This photo is a combination of an HDR photo taken of a moving object, so there are two images of the man and his dog. I think it’s a neat effect, like he’s walking with his ghost:

My current look
After late night fun with hydrogen peroxide bleaching kits, I ended up looking like this:
No laughing, please!
Scoble’s After Me :D
I’ve just been informed that I’m under the scrutiny of Scoble:
Scobleizer (Scobleizer) added you as a friend!

Best,
If you take a look at how many 1000s of friends he has, you come instantly to the conclusion that you’re not special:
I’ve always wondered if celebrities, or even pseudo-online-celebrities, can have friends in the random sense. Every person coming up to them must be instantly suspect. For example, people who contact me randomly have a good chance of being accepted, because I am not a useful resource with tons of contacts. And, it’s pretty obvious when someone is contacting me for an in at where I work, or some bit of advice I’m not allowed to give, or help with their blog. For a celebrity, though, everyone must seem to want something besides their friendship.
