what a lovely blog like it's the end of the world day
Y'know what, Valleywag? I could really live without the snarky little posts about how much better Google is handling the zombie apocalypse than Yahoo is. Yes, fine, so their buildings sink entirely into the ground at the first sign of trouble. Yes, their employee shuttles convert into armored patrol vehicles.

happy halloween, here's your type 2 diabetes
Kids these days (or at least kids in my neighborhood) no longer carry bags for trick-or-treating; apparently the in thing now is to collect your candy in a partially unzipped backpack.
