Wee Wee Stats: Twitter’s Best Statistical Restroom Usage

Wee Wee Stats is a project Mike Rapin and I thought up and developed to answer the scientific questions, “How often do I pee and poop?” and “Do I pee and/or poop more during the winter or the summer? Does it really matter the season?”

This new fandangled device uses Twitter, a Web 2.0 device to track the little things you do in life, as its data collection. To sign into Wee Wee Stats you’ll first need to register a twitter username. This username will give you access to text messaging, using many programs, or just using Twitter’s website to enter your restroom usage.

If you’re already familiar with Twitter then you simply need to do one of these:
d wwst 1
d wwst 2
d wwst 2 home corn

Yes children, “home” and “corn” are tags! Like every other sweet website out there we let you tag your restroom experiences so you can look back later and compare. It’ll also work amazingly for upcoming statistics and graphs.

It’s sweet! Check it out,
Daniel Slaughter

A work day with a student: Ben

Because he is running for president someday, Ben likes to keep his under aged drinking habits a secret:

Dan: I hear you’ve been a MIP
Ben: No never
Dan: they said you tried beer.
Ben: You can’t talk about this over AIM, its unencrypted

With this next one keep in mind that Ben sits less than 20 feet away from me:

Ben: Maybe its better if we talk on the phone, I can call you

The Somethingstore.com: Einsteinian Gluons

I bought a something from the somethingstore.com and, after waiting 17 days, finally got it. Although I had envisioned getting something awesome to my surprise it was not.

The item I purchased for $10 ended up being worthless beyond all belief. I got Einsteinian Gluons; an Einstein themed sticky note book. What computer science geek would use sticky notes? I suppose I could label my computers time to time.

A couple other guys in the office got a something too. They both got the same thing which ended up being an inexpensive coffee mug (lame!).

Here are some pictures of my mysterious purchase:

For those of you who are interested, the actual cost of my something is less than $6 on Amazon.

Into Diet Mode and a Walk in Grand Rapids

I have decided to start eating healthy again. For a while I have went off of my low-sodium healthy foods kick and now I want it back! I work exactly one mile from my apartment in downtown Grand Rapids, MI and thus have decided to walk to and from work every day. Today for lunch I have various fruits and rice which I added spices, carrots, onions and green-pepper to. Wish me good luck!

Low Sodium Breakfast Burritos

Introduction
Breakfast Burritoes I came home late one night with limited ingredients in my fridge that I wanted to use up. So, I grabbed a few ingredients, some tortilla shells, spices, and wa-la! Deliciousness was made. If you want a low-sodium version of this, just look for salt-free tortillas at the store. Meijer’s sells them in the non-refrigerated section of their ethnic foods. I’ve also found some tortillas at Family Fare made by Aztec that are salt free. They’re typically the smallest tortilla shells you can find. I have yet to find large burrito shells that are salt free.

Ingredients
2-3 Eggs
1 Green Pepper
1 Tomato
1/4 Red Onion
Small Tortilla Shells
Crushed/Dried red peppers
Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Garlic Powder
Salsa (optional)
Grated Cheese (optional)

Instructions
Finely dice up the peppers, onions and tomatoes as best you can. Cook the green peppers, onions, and tomatoes in a skillet on medium heat until the water from the tomatoes are almost evaporated. While cooking apply a light helping of red pepper, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Scramble up the eggs and poor them on top of the vegetables. Mix around until the eggs are fully cooked (they should look like scrambled eggs with stuff in them). In another skillet on low heat gently warm the tortilla shells for 30 seconds on each side. Once eggs are fully cooked put egg mixture in the warmed tortilla shells, apply cheese if desired, and wrap them up. Sometimes these are good with a little bit of salsa on them.

weewar.com

Dan Vs. Ben (Weewar)I started playing weewar towards the end of last week to discover it’s the most addicting game ever made in a multi-player Ajax environment. For those of you who would like to play, please click this link or contact me via email or AIM (TheWLBL). Currently the game is by referral basis only, so creating an account without knowing someone on the “inside” wont work.
