MC 900 Ft. Jesus?
This is the first in a series of posts about things that used to be but don’t seem to be anymore. Case in point, MC 900 Ft. Jesus. He had a song back in the early 90’s (made CFNY’s (now known as the Edge) Top 102 of 92 (which I still have sitting on a cassette tape somewhere)), While the City Sleeps - really, really cool - slow groove, “rap” on top, the lyrics are a first-person monologue from the mind of an arsonist/pyromaniac (chorus includes “I light the fires while the city sleeps”).
For whatever the reason I was thinking of that song. Did a quick google, and got a wikipedia page (surprise, surprise).
No, I’m not burning down the building.
Read the deets @ wikipedia.org.
And, hey, hit the dude to get back in the music biz. He’s got a pretty cool groove that I think is ridiculously unique (the thought coupled with the music), and unheard of (imho) in today’s rap scene. Not that I’m a huge rap fan - haven’t really been able to get into it since…um…elementary school. And even then I think it was more the rebelliousness than anything (which is, of course, fine and good, but I seem to have lost that in the years since…).
So go pick up an MC 900 Ft. Jesus album now. You won’t be disappointed.

Really.
They are the difference between writing code that looks like this:
-
string email = Request.QueryString["email"];
-
if( EmailValidator.IsValid( email ) ) { ... }
and writing code that looks like this:
-
string email = Request.QueryString["email"];
-
if( email.IsValidEmailAddress() ) { ... }
And a whole lot more...
I am, however, far too tired, frustrated and various other not so glamorous things, so I will leave it to you to hop on over and read Scott Guthrie's insanely detailed post on the subject.
Oh, yeah - read it here.
Andre, Jon - this was for you. Everyone else, thank them.
Note: the code samples above were shamefully ripped from Scott. No sense reinventing the wheel, right?

Facebook is, of course, the new MySpace. But why leave it at that? Jon's built a handy little tool to import Flickr photos into Facebook.
It’s way too late at night to be releasing alpha software, but I just got my Flickr2Facebook v0.1 completed and I had to show it to someone 
I wrote a bookmarklet that lets you scoop up photos from Flickr, and upload them directly to your Facebook photo albums.
I can just see it - next he's going to build a plugin that allows cross pollination between Facebook and LinkedIn.
Check it out @ keebler.net.
