These Are The Commercials I Love

The ones that bring out so much emotion. This Thai Pantene television commercial is brilliant (even if not necessarily the most effective advertising for the product):

Thanks Barney for the link.

When Cultural Awkwardness Meets Technical Cack-Handedness

Newspapers: Don’t Like Google Indexing Your Content?

Google explains it very simply how you can limit search engine’s access to your content, mostly in terms that even the staunch ol’ timers can understand.

But like one commenter said:

This is a very nice way of saying, “You guys in the newspaper industry are dingbats. If you don’t want us to send you traffic, we wont. Stop complaining.”

Too Busy To Read The News?

Then how would you know what to be scared off? Doomwatch will read the headlines and tell you what you need to freak out about.

Update: If you’re here from bojack, you’re looking for this.

Time Killer For The Day

Drop some dynamite, blow up some buildings. I caused $261,407 $286,734 (tried a few levels again while a server was upgrading) worth of damage — how about you? (Game after the jump)

Rainn Wilson Mentions Deschutes County on Letterman

His stories totally sound like Central Oregon…

On a totally unrelated note, it’s weird seeing “Dwight” without glasses and with a beard. I think he’d appreciate this area even more if he watched our tourism video.

Home

Made it back from vacation. Went mostly fine, despite spending one of the days in bed and/or hugging a toilet from some bad food poisoning or something. Naturally, that was our nicest day at the beach. Just the same, good time was had by all. Now I’m just buried in playing catch up after being away from the office for a week.

Bye

I’m heading out of town for a week or so to a place where my cell phone gets no reception and I’ll have no ‘net access. I’m unplugging. Work (or anybody else) won’t be able to get a hold of me without a hassle. It’ll be me, the kids, and the Oregon Coast. And I’m going to do absolutely nothing, and enjoy every minute of it. Sis-in-law will be watching over the house while we’re gone.

Back in a week. Be good. Feel free to open random discussion in the comments.

Compuserve Is Still Around?

Well, it was up until last month, when AOL killed the last remaining bits of it. It’s apparently been around since 1969.

I remember getting on there when I used to babysit for my neighbors, who had a computer and a Compuserve account, and playing around on there and thinking it was the coolest thing on earth. My have things changed.
