It's official:  technogy world full of twits, just like the regular world I spent most of today looking for a decent mailing list host.  I don't think I've seen this many bad web sites since... well, since the last time I looked through a bunch of software company web sites.  My favorites are the ones where you read through the whole site, and still have no clue what the fuck the product does, because it's all marketing gibberish written by someone who has even less idea of what the product does.   And why does the price have to be a freaking secret?  If my company can't afford something, reapeated calls from an annoying sales person will not make me change my mind. I might have to end up buying a listserv and installing it on our own server, but it needs to be up and running by the end of the month.  I'd need the cooperation of the IT department to get it done, which means it'll be ready in time for the next ice age. unsubscribe rant 7:44:43 PM     comment

Photo of Japanese "google eye" figurine, attesting to google's ancient (possibly alien) origins. All hail google! I have been visited by google, and life will never be the same.  The joy of seeing tracks left by google in your referrer logs can only be compared to the joy of a mother beholding her babe for the first time.  Then you realize that the search terms by which your site was found were "ominous vader-music" and "madam heather csi." Whatever your personal take, if you're on the web, you live and die by google.  And I ask you, with such a cute name, how could it be bad? Google delivers...
