http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/081028/tec_microsoft.html?.v=8 Microsoft, quit while you’re ahead, and just sweep Vista under the carpet, instead of writing Apple’s next Mac-vs-PC ad for them with headlines like this: Microsoft says next Windows won’t be as annoying Kajillions of dollars to spend on marketing, and this is what emerges?

Chinese Bonsai Art
http://www.chinesebonsaigarden.com/2008/09/is-chinese-bonsai-art-of-tree-torture.html Bonsai as “tree torture”, with our lack of sensitivity to the tree equated to America’s willful ignorance of Guantanamo Bay. Are you kidding me? I spent last weekend watching The Private Life of Plants. After seeing how deceitful, stubborn and determined plants can be, I’m not going to spend any time worrying about their […]
StumbleUpon.com: Personalized Recommendations to Help You Discover the Best of the Web
http://bumapples.stumbleupon.com/review/25068978/ I second BumApples’ comments here – I “ran out of Stumbles” the other week, and since then I’ve been assaulted with page upon page of crap, which invariably turns out to be sponsored.

Very Bored – Great place to be when you are bored – Animals No Larger Than Finger
http://very-bored.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=88&Itemid=1 Note to Stumblers: I loathe sites like this. A page full of “animals smaller than a finger” has the potential to be interesting, if you were to identify said animals and include a bit of background as to their quirks. Instead, we’re given cutesy photos with no context, and a series of inane comments […]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080819/ap_en_ce/people_keith_obama_2 Toby Keith, perhaps best known to non-country audiences for his post-Sept. 11 song “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue,” says he’s a Democrat, and was impressed by the senator from Illinois. Wow, uh, this was a surprise. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a song that screams “REPUBLICAN!” as loudly as Toby Keith’s […]

Dark Roasted Blend: Geoducks Are Strange
http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2008/06/geoducks-are-strange.html Behold, the Geoduck! Or, as I prefer to call it, the Inferiority Mollusk. (Pictures after the click are technically SFW, but potentially only after a very detailed explanation, and a follow-up visit to Wikipedia as proof that you’re not lying.)

But local speculation has been rife with some reports claiming they belonged to victims of violent crimes […]
