Work got you down? Meeting after boring meeting day in and day out? Or are things driving you mad in the Blogosphere? Too many things going on in life? Well, my friends, I know just what you need …
The Titanium Spork! For the days you need to gouge someone’s eyes out, and a flimsy plastic fork just isn’t good enough! Spork posse! [via Matt]
Every time I see “j.f.m.a.m.j.j.a.s.o.n.d” in the sidebar of a blog, I have to stop and think about what it means. Every time. It takes me a few seconds, because all I see is “Jason” in the middle, and I don’t get what the rest of it is for. Then I finally figure out that it’s the initials of the months. It bugs me.
While I’m talking about what bothers me in sidebars, I hate Zonkboards. I hate them with a passion. They cause such an incredible lag time on sites loading. If you have to use them, could you skin your site and have a “Zonkfree” version? And an RSS feed with comments so I can read your site in NewzCrawler? Pretty please? I love all of you – I just hate the damn Zonkboards.
This post dedicated to Matt, who I made a commitment to, promising I would continue my Zonkfree campaign.
I have no idea how I missed this before, but I find it freakin’ hysterical that the Former Iraqi information officer can’t get arrested. He’s tried to surrender to U.S. forces in Baghdad, but we’ve turned him away. So now he’s living on his aunt’s house. [via Geoffrey]
If that’s not classic news, I don’t know what is.
Try not to laugh. I bought “The Matrix” on DVD when I got my DVD player in November, 2000. I’ve owned it for almost two and a half years. Yet I have never watched the movie. That is, until tonight. Yes, I am finally watching it after all this time.
I knew when I saw the previews for “The Matrix” that I would like it. I loved the concept behind it – there really is no reason why I’ve never actually seen it.
We warmed up with “X-Men” first, which was really good. Now I am ready to go see “X-Men 2” tomorrow, and in two weeks I can see “The Matrix Reloaded”. Yeah, the rest of you have been waiting years for it – I justs have to wait two weeks. Pretty smart, huh?
“Remember, all I’m offering is the truth. Nothing more.”
I’ve mentioned in the past that I know a lot of people named Mike. When we were at SXSW, all of the Mikes there ended up with nicknames so that we could keep them straight. Coffee Mike, Moose Mike, Beta Mike (also known as Mike the Lawyer), Disney Mike, and the list went on.
So it shouldn’t be a surprise that my latest spam had a subject line of “Mike Wants You to See This”. I figured that Mike probably saw something that he knew I would be interested in and sent me an e-mail about it using the “E-mail to a Friend” options that some sites have. Nope. It was spam, and I was suckered in to opening it. This weekend, I’m installing iHateSpam after reading Jennifer’s testimonial about it. The softwares is free after rebate on Amazon right now, so if I like it I’ll order a full copy. I’m still waiting on the pointers from Matt on anti-spam tactics too. Have any tips that you want to share?
I am going to win this battle. Oh yes, yes, I am.
