- 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!
Eternal Song & Roam If Your Phone Wants To
Watched Wednesday’s Pushing Daisies last night. “Eternal Flame” is STILL stuck in my head.
A couple of days ago it was reported that, even with data disabled while roaming, the G1 still hits the internet. It turns out it was an edge case: his phone connected to T-Mobile UK and thought it wasn’t roaming, so it kept data active.
Appears to be an epidemic of low tire pressure here. Waited in line for air plus another car behind me.
