Barack Roll’d

First, the video:
Then the history [From Wikipedia]:
Rickrolling is an Internet meme involving the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song “Never Gonna Give You Up”. The meme is a bait and switch: a person provides a Web link they claim is relevant to the topic at hand, but the link actually takes the user to the Astley video. The URL can be masked or obfuscated in some manner so that the user cannot determine the true source of the link without clicking (and thus satisfying their curiosity). When a person clicks on the link given and is led to the web page he/she is said to have been “Rickrolled”.
I thought that was pretty damn good. 
Update: I Twittered a Barack Roll and it was a great success! lol This is how Rick Rolls work.
What I sent: Barack Obama just got into a fist fight with John McCain! http://tinyurl.com/baracknews
What came back to me:
[robonutz]: @miltownkid…… Fheg!
[supermanx]: @Miltownkid: bastich hole face!

Great success!

I don’t really have anything to write about at this particular moment. I just thought I shouldn’t leave things hanging at the “coming down…” post. 
I got a lot of housework done today AND a lot of computer work done. I updated the [FAQ] to make it easier to navigate. I think I answered the main questions that I get asked in Youtube.
I had a big list of things that I wanted to get done today, but it looks like the list is going to cross over into tomorrow. I’ll probably also make an after video to compliment the before video I made today to show how much cleaning got done.
It’s strange… It’s like my creative juices are on hold until I finish this task that I told myself I would do. I have a ton of stuff to blog about but… My mind is like “Finish cleaning and finish those other tasks, THEN and only then may you get back to your internet shenanigans.”
Anyhow, I’m not too hype or not and I’m not too low. Nice and mellow.
Coming Down…

Ahhhhhh…
The good ol’ [hypomania.] I spend the majority of my time in one of two modes. A balanced-hype or hypomania. Peppered in between these two states will be mild depressions where I take a nap for a few hours.
Looking back over the past week or so reveals that I was obviously in a state of hypomania. I usually tend to know when I’m there. In times like that I like to “ride the wave of energy and insperation.” I usually get hit with a ton of “genius” ideas and start acting on them (all at the same time). Then, when I start coming down, I look around and go “Better start tying up these loose ends.” lol Then, in time, I get hype and do the whole thing over again.
I decided in October of last year to stop taking my medication for bipolar disorder (and I just now decided to make that knowledge public). So far so good.
I think I’m going to go take a nap.

The Face of Milwaukee’s Web 3.0

There it is.
[Steve] made a comment last night after I said something to the effect of taking over the Internet and world with my elite group of cyber-ninjas. The comment “He’s serious.”
miltownkid – Serious Business
I’m going to do something I rarely do in person or on-line. Be “transparent.” This is a gift to Steve and anyone else that happens to stumble upon this post. I usually hide my highly methodical mind behind a cloak of beer, video games and bad dance moves. But today I’ll stand naked (mostly). First, let me start off saying that I’m joking and serious about just about everything I say/do. Often times even I don’t know what I’m joking or serious about (and at the same time I always know ).
OK, enough of that. Lets talk about Web 2.0, and then, your new leading expert in the field of Web 3.0 will give his three cents on that.
