Google tainting the President
The goal? Make GW Bush look like a ‘miserable failure‘ on Google. Full details on this Google tainting experiment. Thanks Chris for the link.
Pepsi. It’s the dishwasher detergent
You have to love Pepsi’s new campaign: Pepsi: It’s the Cola.
Really? Pepsi’s a cola? You’re kidding me? I always thought it was a floor wax? Or maybe a dessert topping? A lubricant? Adhesive? Laxative? Paint thinner? Pesticide? Soup?

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.
How not to plan a murder
Just an FYI: When you’re planning on going on a killing spree, be sure to not chat about it online.
11-foot wooden penis found erected on public property
Gotta love it when public employees go wacky, and start sprouting up phallic statues and causing sexual harassment lawsuits.
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.
