I love Despair. It’s dark humor, to be sure, but it always makes laugh out loud. Check out their Valentine candy hearts.

I love Dave Barry. From his weblog: I have a dream that a guy who designs popup ads is having a major colonoscopy, and the proctologist is saying, “It’s the darnedest thing! Every time I snip a polyp, two more spring up in its place!” And here is his Slashdot interview.

And here I thought everybody loved Google. I guess not. But, in all honesty, these are some pretty lame reasons not to like Google.

Well, we got at least two feet of snow. It was great, except for the shoveling. Poor Gracie didn’t get to play in it today. Apparently she has the flu. Poor kid.

Frequency, my Blogger client, has entered beta. I’ve been using various alpha versions of it for a few months, and I managed to reach beta by actually stripping a lot of features out. Basically, if I haven’t used a feature, I yanked it. Like template management. But, if people request it, I know how to add it back in. I’m hoping for a release in February, but it depends on when REALbasic 5 goes final.

Much snow expected here. Possibly two feet. It’s being compared to the four biggest storms that ever hit this area.

Cool!

I can’t wait to see my dog out there. It’s going to be deeper than he is tall.

Holy crap! Google is buying Pyra Labs, viagra sale who make Blogger.

Time to finish Frequency, I suppose.

I posted some new pictures, mind from a day trip to Elk Neck State Park back in October.

From MSNBC: In the end, some analysts insisted, it doesn’t matter if West Europeans despise U.S. policies, so long as they buy American products, go to American movies, and remain too weak and divided to challenge American hegemony.

Google has been ranked as the number one brand in the world, with Apple in second place. Coca-Cola, long held to be the once and future king of brand recognition, has slipped to third place. Starbucks and Ikea rounded out the top five.

This accident caused commute to go from 27 minutes to two hours. I was frustrated trying to get home so Jen could get to her Moms’ Group on time, but to be honest, I’m just glad to be alive. I didn’t know any details of the accident until just now. Apparently, one of the passengers in the car didn’t make it. That’s really sad news. Gracie was worried about it, too. She asked why I was so late, and I told her what I knew about the accident. Immediately, she wanted to know if anyone was hurt, like maybe a broken leg. I told her I didn’t know but I would look it up tonight. And now I know. Hopefully she’ll forget and won’t ask me tomorrow.

Apparently, Ben didn’t know that marijuana is the “Gateway” drug. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

MSNBC: U.S. officials denounced the opposition to helping Turkey as deeply disappointing and promised that U.S. war plans would go ahead.
