The Google Founder Weblog

This is obviously a parody, but a pretty funny one. I love the first entry on the blog:

I’ve wanted to do a blog for ages but Sergey couldn’t manage to set up MovableType. Apparently it’s “Just too difficult”.

Anyway, the other day he suggested that it would be a thousand times easier to just buy Blogger.com.

So we did.

We told them their new terms of employment and only one person disagreed.

Tech workers scream “I told you so!”

Been meaning to post this, but haven’t had a chance. As you know, I’ve had my dealings with overseas call centers, and they’ve been nothing but unpleasant. Major computer companies are using them because they’re far cheaper to run — despite the fact that, for years, tech workers and consumers have been bitching that it’ll come back to bite them. Dell is the first major company to announce they’re going to ditch their India call center for their corporate customers. It’s about damn time somebody came to their senses. Now if Dell would quit using proprietary parts, life would be good, but that’s another story for another time.

Coffee, a newspaper and a blow job on the way to work

Mary Willis has a name for every hooker that works her street — they include Skelawhore and Chickenhead. An interesting article about the “Breakfast Club” in Galveston, Texas — a group of prostitutes that turn tricks for the local early-birds (police usually make the busts between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m). Men claim they’re “Going to the gym” or something along those lines.

A virtual drum kit

Since I was unable to play in the band because of my back problems, I’ve been killing my time with this. Still not as good as the real thing, but a fun substitute while I’m stuck here on the couch.

130-pound woman gives birth to 14-pound baby

Good lord that’s a big kid. I remember Hannah weighed nearly 8 pounds, but had a head as big as a 12 pounder that was born 15 minutes earlier.
