nope, none of em were me.

Just that I thought it would be a unique idea and anyone who did it was destined to be one of the best online personalities ever.

Shame I never got around to it really...

Ain't gonna apologize...

Yeah, well your original idea to call yourself "MakethatBootyBoom" might be another reason why your online comedy career got off to a slow start!

being gay

yea, and "PoomPoomPoomPoomPoomPoomPoomPoomPoomPoomPoomPoom" wasn't much better of an idea, either

Hi again danielboon (& langebleu & IstenSzek & MartyMcFly)

I remember listening to an ABBA CD as early as 1981. I didn't say buying CDs but listening to ONE. I went to a tech exhibition and they played us one ABBA CD and another of sound effects.It might be 1982 but not later.

I also bought my first CDs in 1988 but by then CDs had beeen circulating for years.

Here, something for you to invent tomorrow

"Compact discs could be history within five years, superseded by a new generation of fingertip-sized memory tabs with no moving parts.

Scientists say each paper-thin device could store more than a gigabyte of information - equivalent to 1,000 high quality images - in one cubic centimetre of space.

Experts have developed the technology by melding together organic and inorganic materials in a unique way.

They say it could be used to produce a single-use memory card that permanently stores data and is faster and easier to operate than a CD.

It's claimed that turning the invention into a commercially viable product might take as little as five years.

The card would not involve any moving parts, such as the laser and motor drive required by compact discs. Its secret is the discovery of a previously unknown property of a commonly used conductive plastic coating.

US scientists at Princeton University, New Jersey, and computer giants Hewlett-Packard combined the polymer with very thin-film, silicon-based electronics.

The device would be like a standard CD-R (CD-recordable) disc in that writing data onto it makes permanent changes and can only be done once. But it would also resemble a computer memory chip, because it would plug directly into an electronic circuit and have no moving parts.

A report in the journal Nature described how the researchers identified a new property of a polymer called PEDOT.

PEDOT, which is clear and conducts electricity, has been used for years as an anti-static coating on photographic film. Researchers looked at ways of using PEDOT to store digital information. In the new memory card, data in the form of ones and zeroes would be represented by polymer pixels.

When information is recorded, higher voltages at certain points in the circuit grid would "blow" the PEDOT fuses at those points. As a result, data is permanently etched into the device. A blown fuse would from then on be read as a zero, while an unblown one that lets current pass through is read as a one."

i liked the 80's in 1999 when i became a prince fan before the 80s made a recent comeback

Minimalism

I invented standing in line, before that people just milled about

thinking cloudbuster was kinda into some weird stuff. before i came along everyone just thoguht his midget fetish was normal.

Putting Santa hats on avatars!

this happens to me a lot. both with ideas and with projects. once i wrote a short story called 'timeloop' about a down and out bookie who steals a watch (it's actually a time machine set for a 24 hour repeat cycle) from a dead scientist in an alley. the bookie keeps waking up in the same day, repeating events, gets rich, becomes destitute, dies a few times, finally ends up in an institution where an orderly steals the watch from him...

then about two weeks later they started showing previews for 'groundhog day'. bummer, dude.

also, i wrote a book that paralelled the events of 911, right down to bin laden and anthrax. except instead of the world trade towers it was the minneapolis convention center and an agricultural sciences convention in my story. anyway there was an agent interested in my manuscript summary until 911 but she wasn't interested afterward. the whole thing creeped me out so i shelved that one

I'm surprised she didn't contact the authorities!!

hmmm. interesting point. i wonder...?
