The thing I like most about twitter is how it makes people you don’t know more approachable, and I especially mean celebrities and gurus. I would never have had the guts to write @chrisblizzard an email, thinking it would probably disturb him. However, my twit about how I think whoisi.com is pure genius probably hit right the spot I meant – make him smile for two seconds.

qYOUARE
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008
is a small thingy that lets you easily create QR Codes.
When scanned, each qYOUARE links to a specific page, where you can share some information and even have a discussion with whoever scanned the code.
qYOUAREs can be printed on stickers, t-shirts, mugs and can even be sprayed on walls. You can place them anywhere thinkable in the physical world – providing a cool and geeky bridge back to the online world.
Creating the website was a learning experience for me, as I have never coded anything larger than a page or two for the Web. Since I always find it easier to develop after going over some sample code, I figured the best way to share my experience would be to make the entire source code behind the web site available for download.
In order to create a new qYOUARE, browse to http://qyouare.com/[your desired code] (I know, the GUI still sucks…)
Official Gayglers in the Tel-Aviv Gay Pride Parade
Friday, June 6th, 2008
Israeli Gayglers searching for “equal rights, justice, toleration… and a husband” :)
From the Official Google Blog:
This summer marked the first time Gayglers coordinated a presence at Pride parades globally. In San Francisco, New York, and Dublin, we had the largest (and perhaps rowdiest) presence of any corporation, and we went one further at Europride in Madrid where we were the only global company present among 45 floats. We had lot of fun at all of the marches, and it was a great way to bring Gayglers and their friends together in the communities we call home. We’re passionate about our diverse workplace, and we hope anyone who shares our commitment to equality will consider joining us.
