Bad Idea gone Beer

I’m not one to fill out marketing surveys. I’m one to abhor them, actually. But I filled out this one because it’s for a friend of a friend.

And now he wants to give me a dollar!

So, you should fill it out, say I referred you, and he’ll give me a dollar. (You know my name, right?)

So, just do it!

He’s planning on starting a beer related website and there are three pages worth of beer and internet related questions.

So, just do it! I’ll get a dollar. You won’t get anything (but good karma, and an invitation to my Christmas party.)

(You should have pity on him for thinking he’ll make money on a beer website. Or envy him, or respect him. Just take the survey!)

Correlation

Quote of the Day of the Blogosphere:

“Although it is true that since the Middle Ages, the number of witches burned has decreased while the average temperature of the Earth has increased, global warming wouldn’t be reversed by throwing old ladies on pyres.” - Strange Maps, Transgenic Corn linked to Neo-Fascism

Live News Cameras . Com

This looks interesting. Almost like what CNN was to news 25 years ago - on the edge and trying to figure out where they fit.

livenewscameras.com

The deal? 100+ feeds from live news cameras across the country and across the globe. Often (they’re working on 24/7) they have a live person, who will alert you to what channel has something interesting on it. They’re often doing the same thing you’re doing - watching the feeds.

WordPress Upgrade (with Stats)

I upgraded to the WordPress 2.5 - and got the stats package. After installing, it told me where to check on the stats, only to give me some friendly gibing…

I think I’ll have a sarsaparilla.

There Be Dragons Here

Beware the Internet, for April Fools Day it be.

If you’re going to be reading the Internet, remember it’s a day to make a fool out of you for forwarding that amazing, unbelievable, and outrageous story.

Slate is here to help with a defense kit.

Realignment

I have linked my old LJ to my current blog.

I will be killing the RSS feed into LJ soon, so anything showing up on blog_shirl_com.livejournal.com will wither and die. I suspect the twelve people watching that feed on LJ are still watching the old account (a sampling of five of them shows that to be the case on all).

You will get double hits until I put the plug in the syndicator.
