Shaky Lion Outing

On the plus side, PSU won; unfortunately, they did so in a way that looks like it's going to be a LOOOONG season.

Dear Bieber:

Please to be finding your very own "this generation's Courtney Love".

The Fatness

We're number 1!

Does FaceBook Get Paid to Make "Friend" Recommendations?

FB suggests I add "Amanda Blow" to my friends list - yet, we have no social connections.

Hooray for TV

Re-watching last night's Flyers win until the PSU/Temple game comes on Big Ten Network (yay: HD coverage!).

Bored to Emoness

Another fulfilling weekend coils in sleepy boredom, waiting to strike me down.

Clue Alert: You Are *NOT* a Designer

The problem with making it easier to "design" web sites is that it makes it so more people think they're designers.

If the results of your efforts to hand-crank HTML and CSS were trifling before this "nifty" tool, chances are rather high that your results after the new tool will be trifling. Just because it now looks like every other site using the same development tools doesn't mean that any of those sites look particularly good. For starters, for a site to stand out, it has to be both good and unique. You can't stand out by looking like everyone else.

In the end, junk is junk. All that the various design tools do is make it easier for junk to be thrown out there.

"Canning" and "Caning"

...So close in spelling, so far apart in action.

Death of a Pastime?

With all the electronic babysitters (in car DVD players, iPods, etc.) - do modern kids play travel games? Is punchbug dead?

Proof of "Just World" Fallacy

People like Michaela Salahi make you wish that karma existed but are, most likely, proof that it doesn't.

Fix This Please

One thing I miss with transitioning to Chrome: no "block site" option on the StumbleUpon toolbar.

You're Special ...Just Like Everyone Else

If you define yourself by everything you're not, then you're still being driven by all those things you wish not to be.

Down, Down, Down

http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/facebook.com is saying FB is tits-up. Least it's not a local problem...

FaceBook Needs a "We're Broken" Mascot

Where's my cute little FailWhale for FaceBook?

Share the Road?

Dear Bicyclists:

I'll be happy to "share the road" just as soon as you twats start obeying posted signs and signals. "STOP" means you too.

Call-tree Madness

Wonder how many CSRs get yelled at simply because of call-trees' irritation of customers

Can We Afford Universal Compliance

I sometimes wonder what parking meter rates would be if everyone parked legally?

That Train's Already Left the Station

The nofoodtaxes.com commercials kill me: Gov'ts been regulating consumption of alcohol and tabacco through taxes for DECADES.

Please Don't Share Your "Taste" in Music

So, the NBC morning show's iHoda segment is always an exercise in horrible taste

Almost Wish I Was Gonna Have a Gravestone

I can only hope that, when the time comes, I have something bizarely memorable to say when I die (and that someone records it, natch) - and the wits/awerenes and capability to say them. Really just want to leave the world with a final "WTF".
