Cool Stuff For MySpace
MySpace News MySpace News Close Window Feb. 23, 2003 MySpace LA Party #2! The first party in LA on November 11th, was a huge success. We're now readyto have the second official MySpace Party! It's this Saturday, February 28th at The Key Club onSunset. It's $10 before 10:30 and $15 after 10:30! All the DJs are MySpace Users, including DJ Motiv8, from Black Eyed Peas, Miss Watts & DJ HeavyGrinder! Click Here to read my journal for the complete lineup. Masuimi Max & Ann Poonkasem win the awards for farthest traveled, coming all the way from Texas and Florida for this event! E-mail me with comments/suggestions/bugs I'm here ! Jan. 29, 2003 Party Coming Up! It's been awhile, sorry. So the next LA MySpace party is going to be Feburuary28th, Saturday night at the KeyClub. There will also be a Miami Party on Feb 14th at ClubSpace. I'malso working on New York, Philadelphia, D.C. and Hawaii parties. All the details will be announcedsoon. Check out this pic from the first Miami party @ the Purdy Lounge. It was great to meet everyone inMiami. I was out till 6:00am and actually ended up going to the Marlin also -- it was like two locations for the MySpace party that night. There's not much to report with new features - most of the stuff we're working on is being developedoff site and will all be released in a few weeks. You should, however, check out the MUSIC , GAMES ,and FILM/TV page. Fun stuff! E-mail me with comments/suggestions/bugs I'm here ! Dec. 18, 2003 Your X-Mas Present! OK. So we decided to give you MySpace IM - Instant Messenger for Xmas. It went live a few hours ago, so there's bound to be a few bugs and might take awhile to getit running smooth. Here's how it works: First go to Home/Account Settings and check your IM privacy settings. You'll be able to set it so a) no one can IM you, b) only friendscan IM you, or c) so anyone can IM you. NOTE: if you have "hide online now" set to on in the regular privacy settings (also on the account settings page), then no one can IM you. When you want to IM someone, go to their profile and click "Instant Message". A window will pop up telling you if they are not available. If they are, you'll see the IM chat window. It starts with "Connecting..." This should only take a few seconds before the conversation can begin.Start typing. When done IMing someone, close your window, you can only have one IM window/conversationgoing at once. Also note the new "blocking" feature. If you choose to block someone, MySpace does NOT tell the other person they are blocked. But they won't be able to IM you or send you messages. E-mail me with comments/suggestions/bugs I'm here ! Dec. 5, 2003 MySpace Music! OK. Oh my.. since Nov 25 we've had a host of problems. One after another,you've experienced it, no doubt. But you keep logging in everyday, dealing with it, and saying kind words. How cool are you all? Thanks. I want you to know that when things go wrong weare ALWAYS working on it, around the clock. Thanks for being understanding! Now that all that headache is behind us, we were able to put up the newmusic page today, and music ranking. (Check the ranking section.) Check out these bands on MySpace and see how talented your fellowcompadres are. Hopefully we can get your favorite bands to play at the next MySpace party. :-) Check out these MySpace party pics.

So far people have wrote to me to say they'vemade new friends, found new band members, jobs, and even new relationships, all from the connections they made on MySpace.

Oct. 10, 2003 Ooooh so many cool people here Hey Folks - The site was a little slow from 1:00pm--5:00pm today; we were installing a newimage server. WHY?? Seems you all like to upload lots of pics and we ran out of space! The last two weeks we've been optimizing the code, fixing tiny bugs, and adding new features. Most of the big things are still being developed, but here's what's new: Leave comments on pictures (OMG!) Hide your online status Block friend requests from people you don't know Approve comments before they're posted These last three options you can change on the Home/Account Settings/Privacy page. Please note we added an extensive FAQ to answer your questions. Also, glad to see how creative people are with HTML in their profiles.For help with designing your profile, go here . (Thanks Joe!)

Whore Train
supernaut ... i whore for art October 31, 2004 arriving in taipei dance - taiwan Another blindingly early start on the jet-fuel trail. I divide my flights up into sections: 1) taxi to Guangzhou East Train Station, 2) train to Shenzhen, 3) border crossing to Lowu 4) KCR to Hung Hom 5) bus to airport 6) check in and customs, and only then 7) flight to Taipei. Sleep for two hours and bad food, a ham and soft cheese roll, saved by the Haagen Daaz icecream (separate, not in the roll). Then 8) customs and baggage where I always irrationally dread getting searched, not that it happens but after 1 through 7 I don't feel like 8a-d which involves unpacking, having someone rifle through my stuff, then repacking and most importantly getting everything back in. The arrivals guy at the desk says, "Zheshi hanzi shi shenme? Nide Gongzuo?". I say, "Oh, zheshi 'choreographer', wo shi de bianwu, xiandai bianwu.". He smiles and says, "Oh, wuzi!", "Dui!" I say as he hands back my passport and I go on to 9) bus to city. 11 hours after leaving my apartment in Guangzhou, I go to sleep in what will be my home for the next 3 months, a largish studio apartment at the Taipei Artist Village, a spit from the Taipei Main Station, and in a city I know nothing about. First impressions: Almost as many motorbikes as Saigon, but in Saigon the first thing I did was hire one and get lost at high-speed, here the whole thing terrifies me. It's like Guangzhou taxi drivers on crystal-meth. Something about Taipei reminds me of Toronto. I don't understand the exchange rate yet, so possibly I'm spending like a special-K fuelled triad laundering money in the Crown Casino. The romanisation of hanzi is a bizarre mix of Pinyin, Wade-Gilles, and improvised phonetic combinations, which means remembering the hanzi is in fact easier. No yalamian. Yilin, who runs the TAV is once cool chick. There are many outdoor shops near here, so naturally, I'm going for a climb right about now. the taipei artist village my apartment the artist village courtyard No Technorati Tags available.
