- Up way too late browsing 1001freefonts.com (It’s exactly what it says on the tin. Give or take.)
- Best headlines: learn from the BBC.

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.
Frost/Nixon, Gooey Trek
Long day: Comic-Con hotel rush, work, drive to LA for Frost/Nixon at Ahmanson theater, drive back with a stop for coffee and cheesecake. Sleepy.
When headline limits go bad: “STAR TREK Official Movie Prequel Comic Boldly Goes to iPhone And Goo” Sorry, I don’t want a comic that melts.
Vote Earth, Chain Outliers
- Interesting: #voteearth = switch your lights off for one hour on 3/28 to promote action on global warming voteearth2009.org
- It’s always funny when a coffee (or any) chain has 35 locations in SoCal, 3 or 4 in nearby states, and one in, say, Riyadh, like Kelly’s Coffee.
