Friday Links
So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive.
First some housecleaning.
- I added a "live comment" box on the left side of the front page. I saw this over at Sachant , and really like the idea. You'll need to be logged in to use it. (sorry, spammers ruin everything.)
- Some more tweaking has eliminated some more of the weird page rendering.
- Whoa! More stats than I ever had with Blogware. 3 of you are still running Windows 98. Kinda time for an upgrade , dontcha think?
- Apologies to Bloglines and other feed subscriber that the RSS feed has been so wonky. That should be settling down now.
- Thanks to everyone who let me know what was broken. Keep the "bug reports" coming.
On to the links.
·
Word of the day: Gothtard. Think of the words.
·
A global tragedy. (the whole site is really worth checking out)
·
The first 2 videos on this page are pretty good. The third one is alright too if you need your 80s fix. (I think I followed this from Wired, but I lost the original link.)
·
FiringSquad interviews Jerry Holkins . ("Tycho" of Penny Arcade Fame.)
·
Meat Loaf wants the rights to the phrase "Bat out of Hell." The real story here is that Meat's next album will be titled…wait for it…Bat out of Hell III. Meat Loaf, I love ya baby. As far as I'm concerned, it does not get any better than Paradise by the Dashboard Light. But maybe, just maybe, it's time to start thinking about letting go of the bat and moving on. What's that? ah, you won't do that huh? Oh For Crying out Loud. Well I tried. Two out of three aint bad.
·
Man tries to cancel AOL account, AOL rep decides they can't live without him. AOL rep is fired. (here's a mirror of the MP3. You really have to listen to this.)
·
And what would your weekend be without seeing the new Mac/PC commercials . They're not as good as the first batch, but still cute.
·
EDIT: Oh I just have to add this last one: In the absince of accomplishment, self praise.
·
Have a great weekend. Peace out.

I was worried for a second that the gothtard wasn’t joking. You see the truth is, deep down in places we don’t talk about at parties, I have sort of a thing for goth girls.

In the few days I have been reading your blog, I have seen you promote racism (Hadji Girl) and intolerance (”Gothtards”), and a potty-mouth (all your posts) that does not make you funny or clever, even though you seem to think so. I am not over-sensitive and I think cursing and edgy humour can be funny, but you just seem like a very angry insensitive person. I feel sorry for your co-workers and those around you. Good luck, this is not the blog for me.

“This is the end, Beautiful friend
This is the end, My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I’ll never look into your eyes…again
Can you picture what will be, So limitless and free
Desperately in need…of some…stranger’s hand
In a…desperate land
Lost in a Roman…wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane, All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah
There’s danger on the edge of town
Ride the King’s highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake…he’s old, and his skin is cold
The west is the best, The west is the best
Get here, and we’ll do the rest
The blue bus is callin’ us, The blue bus is callin’ us
Driver, where you taken’ us”

Soulcatcher must be a harelip gothtard who escaped evisceration, however one thing is certain about Amber, she is a cruel and souless creature. In the spedbaby forest I saw her slice off a magical horn from an elusive unicorn, take the horned magical weapon and stab midget spedbabies in the throat. That poor, poor unicorn, fuck you Amber.

I heard about the Mac using Microsoft’s OS as well as OS X in that commercial, but I heard an “or” in there, I don’t like the sound of that. I’m looking forward to the day that I can triple boot my PC, errr… or Mac in this case. I guess I’ll have to do some research wither this is a slip up in verbiage and meant for users, or if there is a deeper meaning to this or statement.
