a little irony to start the day

While driving along the Queensway this morning to meet my brother and sis-in-law for breakfast, I saw a funeral procession. One of the cars in the procession had the license plate “LVESTRNG”. Right.

got spam karma?

So, there’s a whole bunch of people who I know that use WordPress for their blogging needs, and Spam Karma for preventing those WordPress blogs from getting overrun with spam. They’re the default choice on any of the WordPress sites here on deadsquid.com, and both are outstanding pieces of software (in my opinion, for what […]

something to remember

A glass of good red wine added to your tomato-based pasta sauce is an excellent idea. A glass of good, dry, white wine added to your cheese-based pasta sauce and/or cheese fondue is also an excellent idea.

google globetrotter

Looking to waste some serious time? Look no further, and head on over to Google GlobeTrotter. GGT is not a Google site, but a site that catalogues available satellite imagery of things like buildings, alien spaceports, and really cool images that just happened to be captured by the satellite. Have a gander, it’s a great […]

myspace is not my space, which isn’t your space

I was browsing through my weblogs over the weekend, and discovered that my bandwidth use is waaaaaaaaaay up. Most of it comes from a clip of the Drew Carey show where Richard Simmons plays the part of various props. It’s one of those clips that brings tears to your eyes, so I’ll share for a […]

the slanket

Tell me you don’t know someone who would love one of these. Don’t let the geek with the notebook throw you off, as I’m thinking sane people would use it for something other than surfing for… stuff. I can see several of the people I know using it to sip a beverage while becoming one […]

Evilhoof and Flayed have come up with a nice little World of Warcraft machinima movie on the benefits of the interweeb. Fair warning: Probably NSFW if you’re listening through speakers, and the title of the vid includes the “pr0n” word. Still funny, though.

fall out boy

I’ve noticed that Fall Out Boy has been getting some airplay locally the last few months. In case you missed it, be sure to check out their killer video for Sugar We’re Goin’ Down Don’t be put off by the Boy Band, it’s actually pretty funny. Note: Some of the MS Paint drawings may be […]

make money from the interweeb

I saw an ad for this site and had to laugh a little. It’s all about how to get rich by suing spammers for the low, low price of $34.95. (no legal knowledge required!) It even says that you can “Start looking forward to finding those emails selling Viagra, Mortgages and Porn”. Sign me up, […]

indisputable

I’m sorry, but you cannot possibly convince me that Polamalu didn’t intercept that ball with 5 and change to go. He had clear control from the time he caught it, through the roll, and his knee popped it loose and he recovered it. If it was the offense, it would have been ruled complete, I’m […]
