The Search Engine Belt Buckle

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the how-some-people-get-their-kicks dept.

ptorrone writes "Engadget shows how they made "The Search Engine Belt Buckle" a PDA-based device which shows 24 hours of all the bizarre and banal things people are looking for on the web. Art project or pointless hack? That's for you to decide, people are searching for some pretty freaky stuff out there, so why not put in a belt buckle and get on the scene like a sex machine?"

    I'm not sure what happened.

    One minute I'm receiving a "I love you. Talk to you tonight" text message... Sitting at the office, working on directions to Pittsburgh with coworkers who have worked with some robots there. Telling stories of you and me... and showing your picture.

    The next I was getting a "I had a mental wake-up. Thanks for playing. This won't work. Bye bye."

    You introduced me to your friends. I have my own friendships now. You boasted to me that you are friends with your exes, that you'd stick to us unless it you had tried everything else and it was the last straw. Um. Either you work very quickly or you didn't truly mean that.

    Okay, so we had absolutely fucking-incredible phone sex. Okay, so we shared deep dark corners of our fantasy worlds. Okay. But you didn't meet me doing that and there's more to me than that and you know it. So if you based your sudden decision on that.. well... *sighs*

    What can I say?!

    Perhaps you are afraid to be as happy as you could be with me.

    You could have at least done this via the phone and not AIM.

    You're not on my list of "people full of integrity" right now.

    Thank you Candleblade.

    How the hell is this off-topic? It leads with a direct quote from the article followed by an, if anything, +Insightful interrogative! I was thinking the same thing myself, in fact.

    Maybe we need to start having the mods RTFA before they moderate?

    It's entirely ontopic, in fact you don't even have to RTFA to see how.

    Now personally, I would just put some porn on the thing. Nothing to get people to look at your cock like some nice porn. Actually, porn involving your own cock would be the best form of advertising, provided you have anything that won't fit in frame all at once.

    What statement? You mean kind of like "this statement is false"?
