"If Yahoo! succeeds in its attempt to acquire Tumblr, it will end up with one of the hottest Internet properties in today’s Web, with access to the coveted youth market and a foothold in mobile. It will also wind up with a whole lot of porn."

By the way, Google Music All Access doesn’t have every song either. I think they have some of the same licensing issues as Spotify.
"Life, they say, is about learning to appreciate the small things. For proof, look no further than the first-ever "Smallest Penis Contest" at King's County Bar in Brooklyn, New York, on July 20. According to a Craigslist ad seeking "less endowed men" to prove that "good things can come in small packages," the contest will be "pageant style" and involve "talent, evening wear, and swimsuit elements.""

Dinner tonight: split pea soup, fish, and noodles. Getting very low on fish though. Have to restock soon.

If an avocado becomes a lawyer, do we call it an advocado?
"“Hello.” The soft, froggy voice startled me. I turned around to face an approaching figure. It was Larry Page, naked, save for a pair of eyeglasses. “Welcome to Google Island. I hope my nudity doesn’t bother you. We’re completely committed to openness here. Search history. Health data. Your genetic blueprint. One way to express this is by removing clothes to foster experimentation. It’s something I learned at Burning Man,” he said. “Here, drink this. You’re slightly dehydrated, and your blood sugar is low. This is a blend of water, electrolytes, and glucose.” I was taken aback. “How did you…” I began, but he was already answering me before I could finish my question."

Whoa. After calling Comcast this evening to nag them, the speed test is now giving results above the advertised bandwidth!
Wow we should try that. We're nowhere near our advertised bandwidth, at least through wireless. I need to do a speedtest direct from Ethernet for comparison.

Yes, from now on, always nag Comcast until everything is perfect.

Wonder how much Google makes from all those AdSense balances that never reach the $100 minimum payout.
