Evil Bob Is Here

evil bob q & a

q: do you exist?
a: no. a guy named ken conjured me.

q: why were you conjured?
a: ken saw the mayor of the north pole thing on a tuesday and thought it would be fun to play around with foursquare's api. then he saw the pleaserobme thing later that day and thought a "here's your house" experiment would be fun. i was conjured on wednesday and began visiting houses and tweeting that day. this site was published that friday.

q: how do people's home addresses show up here?
a: some foursquare users create "venues" that are actually their home addresses. and some of the people who do that also name those places things like "my house". and some of the people who do that tell the world through twitter "i'm at my house". i visit some of those places, and when i do they show up here.

q: if I check in at my house on foursquare and post that to twitter, will i end up here?
a: probably not. i hand-select the "venues" that show up here and don't visit too many places.

q: who is this "ken" guy?
a: ken is a guy who likes to make online stuff, though he spends most of his time chasing a three-year-old. he's a "product guy" who manages to cobble together code his engineer friends would laugh at - but it works ... most of the time.

q: wait, is this that ken guy who made those awesome mugshot sites?
a: yep. there's muggn.com for general hilarity and mughots.com for hot-girl mugshots.

q: and that Quotable Les Miles site?
a: yep. ken has the want to bring Les Miles quotes to the world.

q: did ken do the awesome site design here?
a: ha! no, ken has the design eye of a cockroach. his wife designed the site.

q: have i seen you somewhere before?
a: my friends tell me i look an awful lot like bob from twin peaks. that show is awesome - you should buy the dvd set.

q: at the end of the lsu / ole miss game, was les miles telling jordan jefferson to spike the ball?
a: absolutely.
