For those of you that decided, like me, a long nap was a better way to spend 6 hours rather than watching the Oscars, you’ve missed out on the first Apple iPhone commercial. Fortunately, Dan at UNEASYsilence was able to find an HD version of the commercial for your consumption. The ad is rather simple and goes through dozens of movie clips where people pick up their phone. I liked the commercial overall because of the Back to the Future clip with Michael J. Fox. Although I wished they showed off some of the iPhone’s features.
The first person to correctly list, in order, every TV show/movie clip used in the iPhone ad will receive 10 Internets.
In other news, Everton Blair of Connected Internet has been running a weekly series called “Pimp My Blog” where people can give advice to the featured blogger. My blog is up for this week’s pimping. If you have any feedback to make this site a better place, feel free to drop a line. So far, it has been suggested that I revamp my archives page to make it easier to find older posts – perhaps have a page that lists each post by month or category, similar to Pronet’s archives?
In school news, I’m fiddling with the YouTube API to create a simple mashup that analyzes the buzz surrounding the Oscars for my computational journalism class. YouTube’s API is nice to work with because their feeds for particular tag searches have data for every single video (1800+ with the particular feed I’m using). Although they use Unix time for the time a video was uploaded… tsk, tsk.
PaulStamatiou.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress
Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.
With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like PaulStamatiou.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.

Why you hating on Unix time? Unix time is the shiznit.
Well, it’s hard to get a quick picture of what you’re looking at in the feed without testing some code. But then again, it is rather easy to manipulate – you can add/subtract etc.
Dude, i swear I learn something new every time I read your blog….
….Internets! LMAO!!!!
“Most of the Internets are hidden by the government. Only one Internet is available for the public. It is unknown exactly how many Internets there are, but it has been confirmed by George W. Bush that there are multiple Internets, and there are rumors on them.”
haha
oh my god, the uncyclopedia link is the best [link] you’ve published.
haha, i knew someone would get a kick out of it.
Dude, did you just shoot up like 1500 feedburner readers overnight? Everytime I check that button out on your sidebar it usually hovers between 2000-2500 now its almost at 4000!
Unix time rocks.
Your blog is already so pimp.
Well, I am stuck around 21 readers.
