How Long Does It Take To Become Irrelevant?

August 25, 2008

Do I Want Targeted Ads, Or Do I Just Hate CiCi’s Pizza?

August 12, 2008

I’ve had enough.
Nearly every day I see an ad for CiCi’s pizza buffet. Their tagline is “Almost too good to be true!” Almost? I beg to differ, CiCi’s.

August 8, 2008

July 17, 2008

This morning was one of those times when I realized what a true web dork I am. I found out yesterday that the .me domain names were going on sale at 11 this morning, and I desperately wanted to get aweso.me. Godaddy had a little countdown timer for the days, hours, minutes and seconds until [...]
