Man, what a boring ass day. After a morning of repetitive edits, I got a string of repetitive meetings. Then, when the afternoon finally arrives, I get another, monumental, repetitive task. All in a days work (well, two actually, since I’ll be finishing the mind-numbing edits in the morning) for this little slave to higher […]
Skype has announced that, until the end of this year, all calls to US and Canadian landlines and mobiles will be free. No credits to buy, no sign-up fee, no strings. It’s an old marketing move, but it’s got 4752 diggs and climbing.Link to Official Skype Blog
My weathered camera, an HP c610, finally started to have ghosts. It would randomly shut off on fully-charged batteries, constantly forget the date (which means that I’d have to set it up every time I started the camera), and generally was taking more and more time to get “quick” snaps.

Via Darren Barefoot (one of the better blogs on the Web, IMO), comes news of Goldman Sachs handicapping the World Cup. Holland is an 8.0% chance to win (fifth in the Goldman Sachs rankings). They do so need to win. Voetball! Go KNVB!
Under what is quite possibly the stupidest headline ever written by Wired (“Who Shall We Kill Tonight”) is the story about the AP-AOL Games poll that showed 40% of adult Americans play video games. Now, aside from the obviously vested interest in inflating that number, why is this such a surprise? The article’s example is […]
Barry Bonds is one homerun away from tying Babe Ruth for all career homers. It couldn’t have happened to a bigger asshole. Bonds is the epitome of everything wrong with baseball: inflated salary, no respect for team or teammates, alleged drug use, and a dick to fans. Case in point, HR 713. It’s the perfect […]
