I worked with both of these guys and I confirm that it’s all true.

Microsoft’s preview of its uninspired music store. Seriously, where’s the free download of the week?
The naming game
What’s in a name? Jeez, some of these people need to take it down a notch and just relax. I can’t imagine going through the effort of creating a web page devoted to what not to name a kid. It would really be a stretch to summon that sort of energy. Anyway, here are some links regarding bad baby names and a “how-to” guide in naming children.

Banner ads
As if you couldn’t get enough of them. At least they’re under control in this comprehensive gallery. Obviously, the ads do not link to a website.
Dingo Dog
I’ve read that you’re not supposed to shave your Sheltie, on the basis that its heavy coat insulates him from the heat, keeping him cool during the hot summer months. Now I know this sounds like one of those surprise facts you learn from a handy uncle when you’re ten, but it makes about as much sense as humans throwing on a fur jacket during spring break to insulate them from the balmy weather. Before his shaver our Sheltie just seemed generally hot and pissed off. Now, he is a zesty desert dingo dog, yipping coolly.
Stupid email signatures
I’m probably just as guilty as the next. My favorite good email signature of all time is, “The seven most dreaded words in the English language — I had the strangest dream last night.” It’s good because it’s true. Nothing worse than hearing about someone’s lame fragmented dream that they can hardly remember less adequately describe. Example — So, like we we’re in this room which was like my brother’s room when he was five, but it wasn’t and it was dark and like weird, and there was someone chasing us that was scary, but not like Freddy Krueger scary more just ominous scary? Anyway, here are a bunch of annoying email signatures.
Nice bed
All this bed needs now is a gun port. Paranoia must be easy to market.
