Can I move out yet? Please?

So Twitter and Facebook are down(ish) courtesy of hackers and it makes me realize how completely inferior MySpace is in terms of being a social networking site. However, it's pretty much unhackable (thanks for that point, Ant) so it evens out I suppose.

So I had a dream the other night that, for all intents and purposes, wasn't weird but it did include a small dog climbing a tall lattice (in a friendly manner alongside number of cats) and a guy I've never met being my friend and indiscriminately throwing the abnormal amount of baby squirrels that were scurrying about like they were pebbles.

Does anyone else find it ironic that Bing is trying to position itself as a revolutionary search engine that will end "search overload" by inundating TV with a flood of ad spots? I call advertising overload ( Read more... )

Celebrity deaths, like other unpleasantries, tend to come in threes. Farah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and the third today: Billy Mays. Talk about the death of pop culture. All three will be missed ( Read more... )
