Finally, a good synopsis and comparisons of good freeware in a pile of different categories, with many tools that I hadn’t heard of but will be installing soon.

How Fast Can You Type The Alphabet?
I did it in seven seconds, and that’s probably slow for me as I’m about to go to bed. How’d you do?
Those Holiday Cards You Really Want To Send
Are available at YouStupidB**tch.com, such as this winner: ” I only got you flowers so that you will sleep with me again. Happy Valentine’s Day” and “I love heroin more than I love you”. Some of the cards are not safe for work — you’ve been warned.
Sadly, I Might Actually Try This
Nothing like starting your day with liquid cereal in such flavors as Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Fruit, and Apple & Cinnamon.
Mailing List Fixed
This has probably been down for a week or so after last week’s traffic storm, but I didn’t catch it. The subdomain dada.utterlyboring.com (which hosts my mailing list) got bulldozed a bit, so you haven’t been able to sign up. You can now sign up again, using the form on the right side of the page. Thanks debbiet for pointing that out for me!
It’s Rodney Dangerfield and Bob Marley’s Love Child
And he was apparently robbing a local liquor store (reminds me of the local Crusty The Clown and Selma Bouvier lovechild from way back in the day).
Is George W. Trying To Give An Elephant An Enema?
It sort of looks like it, doesn’t it? Thanks Mark for the link/headline.
People Do Stupid Things
Like this nitwit (mirror) who manages to light his pubic hair on fire (not safe for work, obviously). Why (how?) you would do something like this, I have no idea. Link via b3ta.
Traffic Update
After last week’s storm of traffic (which is still coming just not as hard), my server’s finally recovered a bit. I know I’ve pushed at least 50 gigs of traffic in the last few days on that video (can’t get good stats on the old server, so I don’t know for sure). I’ve been pushing about 10,000-20,000 page views for the last few days. I had to shut off BlogAds for part of the weekend as it wasn’t responding to the traffic (Google’s Adsense servers were responding just fine). It’s since been reenabled with two ads that came in over the weekend.
Speaking of ads, you might notice the ad up in the upper right for our local cable company. In full disclosure, yes they are paying for that spot, but I do still reserve the right to criticize them if I feel the need (they know they’re not allowed to touch the editorial on this site). Why are they doing it? Because my traffic rank is higher than bend.com and near to the Bulletin’s (many days I’m higher) and they’re no dummies.
What A Waste Of Computer Resources
Now if somebody could get this to work on a small device so that didn’t require it to be hooked up to your PC, then this doorbell would replace mine in a heartbeat.
