These are are my vicarious dogs.

Little Carmella on instagram  I follow Carmela because I met her in person when my friend Omid brought her to work.

Maddie from Maddie on things. 

Walter and Lew on flickr. if dogs had a natural environment, these dogs are there.

UPDATE: Found them. it was easier then i thought. Brick and mortar retailers won.  I found the glasses at Wear Eyewear on 750 N Franklin.

Below is a PHP script that makes crates a js file that has all the tags in a sorted array that looks like this

var tagsArray=new Array("BLACK","BLUE","CAPITAL A","CAPITAL B");

I have a cron that runs it every couple of hours on my server.

$myblog="lookingforglove"; //     modify this line     http://myblog.tumblr.com
$filename=$myblog.".js";
$stack = array();
$done=false;
$postsCounter=0;
$chunk = 50;  
while (!$done)
{	
	$url="http://".$myblog.".tumblr.com/api/read/json?callback=json&num=".$chunk."&start=".$postsCounter;
	$ch = curl_init($url);
	curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,5);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
	curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
	$buffer = curl_exec($ch);
	curl_close($ch);
	if (empty($buffer))
		{
    	$done=false;
		}
	else
		{
		$buffer= substr($buffer, 5,-3);
		$json_o=json_decode($buffer,true); 
		$jpost= $json_o['posts'];
		
		foreach  ($jpost as $jpostItem)
			{
			$jtags=$jpostItem['tags'];
			foreach  ($jtags as $jtagsItem)
				{
				array_push($stack,strtoupper($jtagsItem));	
				}
			}
		}
	$postsCounter=$postsCounter+sizeof($jpost);
	if (sizeof($jpost)< $chunk)   ///no more posts
		{ $done=true;}
}
$stack=array_unique($stack);
asort($stack);
$longString="var tagsArray=new Array(\"";
$longString.=implode("\",\"", $stack);
$longString.="\");";

$fp = fopen($filename, 'w');
fwrite($fp, $longString);
fclose($fp);

The javascript used in the theme where I want to have the tags.

Last week the knighthood of a banker was stripped. He was not accused of a crime, He just made some bad business decisions that led to a loss of jobs. This odd incident reminded me of the clip above. For some reason in other times when John Lithgow was mentioned in the colbert report he was not referred to as Sir which made me sad. I think it fits with the shows hyper patriotic sentiment to mock the English monarchy. I wonder why the writers did not call him sir again. My wild guess is that John Lithgow objected. Why do I think that? Gut feeling.

Recently that meme got a pseudo political spin in the form of a tumblr blog called The 99% Behind The Money and I noticed that the image was getting more traffic.

Thank you for sending me the encoded message about how you are planning to overthrow the Chinese government and assassinate top communist party officials.

P.S. Mao sucks.

I originally wrote this few months ago. A friend commented on Facebook how annoyed she is by Chinese spam that is not even in English. I put it here as a public service.
