On a hunch I went looking for some IRC stats: Sure enough, IRC usage is on a downard trend. So where have people gone? Facebook? Twitter? Other networks? I don’t see any of the “new” things replacing IRC for instant mass-communication..but yet it does seem that people have gone away.

A few weeks ago Jeremy Zawodny made a post about the death of the $100 hamburger. With gas crossing $4/gal, and demand actually decreasing, it seems to be that the new $100 hamburger is going to be any time you take a drive in a car to grab lunch somewhere else. Say you drive 50 [...]

I’ve complained about Ticketmaster before. This blew my mind. I’m trying to wrap up a bunch of Fighters features before going to Cancun, and I decided that it might be a good idea to pass up my season tickets for tomorrow night’s NHL playoff game 2 of the Wild vs Colorado. I went on the [...]

My realtor sent me some listings to glance over today. As usual, they were all bank-owned (foreclosed) properties. It’s pretty sad when there are 9 half-a-million dollar bank-owned properties within a few blocks of each other. No wonder the RE and the CDO-paper-holding-stock market are hurting.

I had no idea that Joe Francis was still in jail. I remember when the Florida thing was going down, and how he refused to go to jail, but I somehow missed the part where they locked him up in Reno on tax evasion. You might not agree with Joe’s morals or method of making [...]

I don’t know what to get for even one single person on my Christmas list. Therefore, I am declaring bankruptcy. Take that email-bankruptcy people.

This recording of a 911 call in Texas is fantastic. Justice served cold.

Having recently celebrated my birthday, I was talking about how lame 24 is. I mentioned looking forward to turning 25 so my auto insurance can come out of the stratosphere. I got to thinking, and this is what I imagine the actuary table looks like for me: Hat tip to my insurance agent for beating [...]
