Dirty Clipart
No, I’m not the one that thought of this, but does anybody else think this Microsoft clipart icon is a bit …. um …. naughty?
Cooking With Irons
I’m bookmarking this as you never know when your oven or cooktop is out and you’ll have to cook a full breakfast with an iron.
Digging A Hole To China

Google Launches Blog Search

The Secret Language Of Spam
Looks like somebody’s spamming software didn’t process the message properly. I just got this via e-mail (URLs removed):
It’s ${quick|fast}, ${easy|simple} and ${anonymous|very private}.
Our ${dat.ing|matchin.g} ${system|portal} has taken live ${dating|matching}
to a ${whole new|much higher} level.
Now you can {meet|get to know} someone in {seconds|nanoseconds},
${conversate|talk} to them and ${ensure|make sure} it’s all ${that you like|by your taste}!
It sure makes it easy to block this type of thing when every option for this e-mail is spelled out so nicely.
Bad Joke For The Day
What’s President George W. Bush’s position on Roe vs. Wade?

Yes, I know I’m going straight to hell for laughing at that one.
Donate Your Vacation Time To Katrina Relief
Like many overworked individuals, I have a pile of vacation hours I’ll probably never use. Thanks to the IRS, I can donate some of those hours to Katrina relief as charitable donations (assuming my employer plays nice, but they appear they will). More information from the IRS.
Stupidity is Alive and Well in Texas
I can not honestly believe all the bureaucratic loopholes this low-power Katrina-relief radio station has had to go through just to get up and running (it’s supposed to be up and running today). Thanks Hurricane John for the link (and headline).
The Zoom Quilt
This would be a great screensaver. Thanks sunrise3j for the link.
