Rez Nightclub has just been named official nightclub of Plaidmania. Also, Rez DJ Andrew La Morte is made Citizen of the Day.  Congratulations is in order, but I got to dance, so this post will be updated later.

Yahoo! Buys Tumblr for $1.1 Billion

     The Internet is buzzing tonight with the news that Yahoo!'s Marisa Mayer has made the strategic decision to buy the micro-blogging site Tumblr for $1,100,000,000.00. Tumblr was founded by David Karp who was born in 1986. According to the Wikipedia article, before Yahoo! made the offer for the site, Tumblr was estimated to be worth $200 million. So, on Sunday May 19, 2013 Tumblr's value was multiplied by 5.5. This is simply astounding. I was tempted to nominate Mr. Karp as Citizen of the Year, but I think it is wise to stick with the choice of hero Charles Ramsey.

     A few years ago, I signed up for a Tumblr account, but I actually am happier with the Blogger platform. In fact, I like Blogger so much that I misplaced my Tumblr password. I always have felt that Yahoo! should have retained its GeoCities web pages, they were plain and quirky, but interesting.

     As with most netizens, I have observed how dynamic the Internet has become over the last twenty years.  It has been interesting to see the different trends in both content and design.  I remember the first time I got on AOL and heard the white noise followed by, "You've Got Mail!"  I remember pictures not being able to load in my browser and all of those red Xs in the top-left side of the containers.  I think the first site that I went on that was interactive was the MTV chatrooms, (which beat the hell out of using poke 53281, + 16 different numbers to change the screen color of my old computer.)

     I have been loyal to certain sites over the years.  I lived virtually in Second Life for the last few years, and I am a bit perplexed why it hasn't got even bigger. Wikipedia is a site that I still find interesting and useful.  There are certain tech news and newspaper sites that I read time to time.  Remember MySpace?  Facebook has gotten tired.  Twitter still has an interesting niche.  Though, the best site in my opinion, has got to be YouTube.  YouTube gives users exactly what they want when they want it.  Plus, YouTube is so easy to use.

Hero Charles Ramsey: Day After

     Charles Ramsey is the hero who saved three women that were held captive by a sadistic man on Cleveland's west side.  If it had not been for Charles Ramsey, these women may not have been found.  A few days ago, Charles Ramsey was nominated and immediately approved to become Plaidmania's Citizen of the Year.  It should be noted that Charles Ramsey is from the east side of Cuyahoga County, which proves that the East Side is the best side of town, (better restaurants, higher culture, and better people according to Pie Francois.)
     The following interview was made the day after he rescued the three women.  This video shows more of his humble side.  Humble or not, the guy is a hero regardless.  Both the Governor of the State of Ohio and the President of the United States should be kissing this man's feet.  Also, Plaidmania recommends that this man be given an ounce of weed per week, in addition to whatever money he is entitled to for discovering the three women.

Charles Ramsey: Plaidmania's Citizen of the Year

    Congratulations is in order for Plaidmania's latest Citizen of the Year.  After, a quick nomination process that was followed by a brief discussion this evening, the editors of this blog unanimously has approved Mr. Charles Ramsey to become the Plaidmania Citizen of the Year.  This man really did something extraordinary on Monday, May 6, 2013.  This gentleman saved three women that had been missing for more than 10 years each.
        In the following video, Mr. Ramsey, current Plaidmania's Citizen of the Year, describes to a local reporter in detail how he helped save the women who had been held hostage in a neighborhood on the west side of Cleveland, Ohio.  Remember, if it had not been for Mr. Ramsey, these women might not have been rescued tonight.

Congratulations Lolla Honi!

After a long conference with members of the Plaidmania board, we have decided to name Lolla Honi as Plaidmania's Citizen of the Day. This gorgeous specimen of an avatar may not be wearing plaid but she goes beyond what it means to be the Citizen of the Day. Remember, if you see Lolla, tell her congratulations!

The Picture Says It All

Jim Tom: Plaidmania's Citizen of the Day

First of all Monsieur Pie Francois would like to wish each and everyone of the readers of Plaidmania a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Wow! The Mayan Apocalypse did not occur. Well for this Christmas edition of Citizen of the Day, it important to give special recognition to the moonshine culture of the descendents of the Scotts-Irish. Now, personally I would never drink moonshine. I am a little more refined, (actually I really couldn't handle high proof.) So, with this in mind, I want to present the Christmas Citizen of the Day award to Jim Tom who makes moonshine and sings so well.

Documentary About Video Games

The following youtube video is a ten-minute episode of both an informative and entertaining documentary called Play Value. The editors have been watching the youtube channel pretty much all week. The following video is about the various gaming mascots. Enjoy!

Wild Teardrop: Citizen of the Day

Congratulations to Miss Wild Teardrop who became Plaidmania's Citizen of the Day. In the following picture she is dressed to the nines (actually the eights). Wild is a spider tonight as seen in the photo below. She is a spider spinning her sexy silk all over the place. Remember, if you see Wild, congratulate her for this honor.

Beautiful Women Are Discovered

I discovered these beautiful Italian-speaking women this morning! Their names are Flamma and Marea. They deserve all the respect that you can give them. They are the Co-citizens of the Day!

Caidence Andel Graciously Accepts Award

Upon discovering that she had won the Plaidmania Citizen of the Year Award, Caidence Andel accepted this award with the following statement:

        "To me this award means a lot because it shows that the human element of SecondLife is what’s important. It’s not about being perfect, it’s not about sounding absolutely correct, it’s not about what goes on in a computer. It’s about what goes on in your heart and what goes on in your head. Oh, I've got a bit of snot......

I want to thank everyone I've ever met in my entire life. I need to thank Whitney Houston. And, whenever you've got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up.

With that discomfort, I do have a sense of gratitude. I want to say thank you to all the nominees and all the non-nominees that have never been here and never will be here.   "

Caidence Andel: Citizen of the Year

Congratulations Caidence Andel, after careful analysis and much discussion, we have named you Plaidmania's Citizen of the Year. Caidence is the second Citizen of the Year. Prior to her appointment, Maybe Lunasea was Citizen of the Year. We are ushering in a new style of background and then it occurred to the editorial staff of this blog that there has not been a Citizen of the Year named. There will be more information about Caidence Andel in other posts. We will write an extensive piece about her at a later date. So stay tuned to Plaidmania.

Greedy Bastards: Citizens of the Day/Week

Congratulations goes out to all the people in this picture. They are all Citizens of the Day! and the Week !! The following are all Citizens of the Day. Indy (the ringleader), Shawna, Chigan, Meridith, Kiera, Ayla, Ara and Merideth. (Monsieur Pie Francois was also in attendance but was not included in the classification for the coveted award because of a conflict of interest. These are great people and for that they are to be recognized.

TerryLynn Melody: Citizen of the Day

Congratulations to TerryLynn Melody! Plaidmania is proud to announce that she has been selected as Citizen of the Day.  Be sure to check out TerryLynn while she performs in Second Life.

Amforte Clarity: Citizen of the Month

Amforte, who let's face it, F@#$ing Rules; has been named Citizen of the Month. Now the editors at Plaidmania do not take this lightly. There are a few times where a whole month is appropriate. We are rocking out with Amforte on this special Rocktober that will soon be upon us. If you have not yet heard Amforte, please go to http://www.amforte.com . This singer/songwriter deserves all the best, and while Plaidmania's blog may be looked down upon by some wayward avatars and furries, this is by no means the end for singer songwriters.
  Remember, if you see Amforte, tell her how great she is. Also, congratulate her on becoming Plaidmania's Citizen of the Month of Rocktober! (And please, tell her to wear some plaid, I mean come on, she is featured on PLAIDMANIA!

Congratulations Is In Order

Plaidmania's new Citizen of the Day is none other than the curvaceous Connie G Sorbet, who has many talents (I suppose). Remember, if you see this specimen of Citizen of the Day, make sure you congratulate her!

DestinyOne: Once Again A Citizen of the Day

A special shout out goes to DestinyOne, who was destined to be a Plaidmania Citizen of the Day for more than a few times. Destiny is an avid Amforte Clarity music fan.  Amforte, in fact has herself been the Citizen of the Day before, (but not on this day).  Besides being a fan of GREAT music, Destiny likes to hoard animals, specifically virtual horses. She has 7,042 horses and they are all malnourished. Though, having 7, 042 horses is obscene, that alone does not preclude Destiny from receiving the great honor that will be bestowed to her in a private ceremony later this day. So, remember that if you see Miss DestinyOne, wish her well and congratulate this gorgeous specimen!

: ( Sad News: Jersey Shore Has Been Cancelled : (

BREAKING NEWS---

from various wire reports --

It has been confirmed by M Pie Francois, that the acclaimed television program, The Jersey Shore has been discontinued after the airing of it's sixth season.  Plaidmania believes that both Republican and Democratic conventions should be postponed for a week.  Also, Plaidmania believes that all College Football and NFL games should be postponed for two weeks. 

It will not be the same without the Situation, JWOWW, Sammy Sweetheart, Vinny, Pauly D, Ronnie, Snookie, Deena, Ryder, Uncle Vinny, and the various other characters who have inspired us all.  Americans and especially Italian-Americans should be outraged over MTV's selfish decision.  Perhaps the major networks of either ABC, CBS, Fox, or NBC could show some decency and broadcast this show.

Chew On This

Today it was announced that Apple Inc. is worth the most according to its market capitalization. Imagine now, that you had the foresight back in October 14, 2002.  Now imagine that along with foresight that you had $5,000.00 to invest in the stock market.  That would now be $473,586.80 at market close on August 20, 2012.

Let it be known, that Pie Francois is working on a time machine, it just needs a flux capacitor, and I will take some of the fans of this blog with me.

Happy Fourth of July!

I am glad that everyone enjoyed the pre-4th of July party yesterday. But you sons of bitches should have cleaned up. There were garbage cans all over the deck.
