In what is sure to be a mass-media, viral infection of the flavor of the day, iTunes is letting people download the video short “Lazy Sunday” from SNL last week for free. It’s a rap video starring Chris Parnell and Andy Samberg in which they discuss going to see The Chronicles of Narnia. Here’s a […]

So tonight I hearkened back to my roots and left work early to head down to DC and catch two hours of free stand-up comedy at Topaz.

It’s bad enough that the damn thing doesn’t even pay attention to the Web Standards and has ActiveX security holes bigger than Rosie O’Donnell’s lace… curtains.

Google Sitemaps is a new beta service which allows you to better control how Google indexes your website. It’s pretty useful and had rapid effects, at least for me. To effectively organize the site, a sitemap file (XML) holds an index of your pages, which Google then analyzes and performs various statistical reviews on. There […]

We don’t just spread democracy and freedom, we spread health advice. Forcefully!
Return of the ‘I-Word’
“‘Watch what you eat, and start getting some exercise and cutting down on the number of work hours,’ Bush urged the ex-general [Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon], known for his considerable girth and long days on the job. Bush is known […]

Check back tomorrow when I go back to work and see if I still love computers.
