“I don’t so much mind that newspapers are dying — it’s watching them commit...”
– I’d like to add that it kills me that even as print papers start staggering and dying and laying off employees, there are still a lot of people don’t realize print is having trouble at all, or that there’s been a fundamental shift in the way that information is disseminated and...

AntiLeech - Screw the Sploggers? →
My blog(s) have been getting splogged like mad lately. I want to hunt the people down who steal my content and … oh, sorry, you’re still listening? I can’t say that here.
“DINE OUT WITH POTENTIAL HIRES. I can tell a lot about people by the way they act...”
– Julia Stewart, CEO of (and former waitress at) IHOP
Best of Craigslist →
I didn’t even know there was such a thing. Seriously, like the girl who wants a guy who looks like Link.
Is it just me?
Maybe I just work out too early, but it seems like all the morning news has been taken over by inappropriately dressed models who are more interested in being perky than informative. If you are a morning news anchor, perhaps your clothes shouldn’t be able to be described as “shiny,” “tight,” “low-cut,” “sparkly” and “hey you need to...

Your Little Girl Can Be a Top Bimbo, Too →
Quote from Mashable about this awful travesty. Gee thanks to all the useless celebrities who have made this possible: “In the game, you’re Miss Bimbo, and your aim is to get a “fun job to pay for your needs and all the clothes a Bimbo could possibly want,” and “become the trendsetting bimbo in town.” To do this, you will stop at nothing, you can “even resort to meds or plastic surgery.”...

Microsoft Backs Down: Internet Explorer 8 Will... →
You know what I think? I think, “oh, good, another Explorer so I can again have to learn how to recode all my web pages to fit with ideas nobody else has and waste all my time fielding complaints from people and solving problems I’d never have in the first place if they’d just be compliant like every other company on earth.” Only Microsoft has the power to make me want...
Beloit Daily News - Woman gets six days in jail... →
She was moving. She didn’t get the notices for her overdue crafting and children’s books. The library is CLEARLY having none of her excuses. Remind me, The Queen of Overdue Books and Unpaid Fines, not to move to Beloit.
American Gods: A Novel by Neil Gaiman →
Iffen you follow that link, you can read the whole thing online for free, at least that’s what I was promised. That book is a darn good read, too.
