I can now blog from my iPhone
Y’all are fuckt.
Short one today.
* Infomercial hell. Because all of your problems can be solved by any major credit card. Sorry, no CODs.
* If you serve our fried chicken for dinner, Robocop will jump out of the TV and steal your appliances.
* Nonsequitube.
3GS IT: Big Bad Voodoo Daddy Tweetup – Watch the top videos of the [...]
* And here are 50 other things the Internet is in the process of killing.
* A couple other Internet-related articles at the Telegraph: the oldest sites on the web, and the Wayback Machine oldest versions of some of the more popular sites.
* One thing the Internet didn’t kill: Scooter, the world’s tiniest dog. Complications from [...]
Not much for today.
* Shamelessly ripped from my earlier tweet: Someone’s looking to re-create Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. The only day you can do it, of course, is the day of the Von Steuben Day Parade. Also, the Cubs have to play that day and you have to make sure to make it to the [...]
* I might want to actually watch Raw for the first time in years, especially since it’s at the Allstate Arena… and Bob Barker is hosting. Fuck it, I might get tickets. (Eh… nah.)
* A decent Cracked list: six oft-quoted “facts” about animals that are actually lies. St. Bernards will not offer you booze. Sorry.
* [...]

00:56 The “Stevens Hotel” looks the same now as it did [...]
* Let’s start at Ben & Jerry’s changing the name of Chubby Hubby temporarily to Hubby Hubby in order to celebrate Vermont’s legalization of gay marriage. Gotta love that ambitious packaging.

* This song is ten years old. This song. is. ten. years. old.
* Na [...]
* The White Sox just dealt Jim Thome. I’m gonna miss Jim in Chicago. Nice guy.
* I’m in the “this looks awful” camp as I guess most are: IKEA’s decision to replace its proprietary Futura-variant typeface with it-came-with-the-computer Verdana. The retailer known for their classy branding scheme now looks like Sven’s Discount House of Furniture [...]
* Thinking about a new feature on the s(h)ite. I gotta think of some good sites. You’ll see it materialize soon (2012).
* C U T L E R
Although I hope Orton is okay. That sucks.
* I might finally bite the bullet and reboot my Twitter, the way this feature is going.
* Nonsequitube. This one’s not [...]
* Updated the Dead Pool!
*Short Daily today, so I’ll just mention Tammy Duckworth. I met her once. She’s a class act. Here she is getting back in the air for the first time after losing her legs in the Iraq war.
And here’s her story. She’s currently the assistant secretary of veterans’ affairs in the Obama [...]
