- Warner Music issued a DMCA takedown notice to an official Warner Music video channel. I think I need some popcorn.
- From @david_colquhoun via @BadAstronomer:
Guardian science editor’s daughter gets measles. He’s angry with the anti-vaccination brigade.
- I nearly mistyped “foreign” as “foregin.” It sounds like an appetizer you should eat before drinking gin.
- Senator Arlen Specter’s party switch is largely symbolic. He didn’t toe the Republican party line, so why expect he’ll toe Democratic line?

Amazon Annoyance, ATM Stupidity
- Grr. Amazon wants to stop paying me because they think I’ve been buying search keywords to link to them. No, I haven’t. Update: Two days later, they responded: it’s a bad form letter, and even if I were buying keywords, they’d only stop paying referral fees on those links.
- More concerned than usual about person sneezing in stairway.
- Bad idea: leaving your pay stub in the brochure holder by the ATM. WTF? Someone’s asking for identity theft.
- Good deed for the day: tearing it into tiny pieces and tossing the confetti in the trash.
WaMu, Bees and Vortex
- WaMu building has taken down its sign. Giant Chase banner at street level.
- Guy w/ sign by side of road: “Homeless kind soul stuck in vortex.” I get the 1st half, but WTF does “stuck in vortex” mean? Downward spiral?
- From @ThisIsTrue: possible cause identified for honey bee colony collapse.
Pop-Ups & Cake! 11111!
- Glanced up at server monitors. It was 11:11:11 on the 11th, tiled 3 times. OMG!11111111
- Cake Wrecks: The Problem With Phone Orders. Now back to work…
- How appropriate: BNL’s “Shopping” in background of a Kohl’s commercial!
- Also: the pop-up summary bits on the LOST rerun are seriously annoying. Fortunately I’m managing to tune them out.
Zune Fail, Comment Win & Holiday Creep
- Weird: Zunes all over the world froze up at the same time overnight.
- Comment win: “like she was going to rip his arm off and beat his spleen to death with it. Not him; just his spleen”
- Just a quick store run – yeah along with everyone else in town.
- More holiday creep! I still need to mail Xmas gifts to people I missed! It’s still 2008!
