Yes

I will freely admit that I probably have at least the second worst URL in the history of the earth planet.

But

In my defense: I was computing under the influence when I registered it, and all the good ones were taken.

Anyway

In keeping with the times, I have looked into this whole URL shortening thing that’s been taking several of the internets by storm. And so I present, for your ease of use and mine, something that would fit on a business card to be handed out to babes:

http://bit.ly/wwwhatever (wwwowsers that’s short!)

Facebook values our privacy, amirite?

So, let’s set the wayback machine to a more innocent time. Barring that, let’s go back to October 19, 2006. I wrote this in my inter-net livejournal online blog page site:

Title: I cold invented a word tonight

I uttered the new word “GROINTMENT” many times in the course of this evening.

A. said “I think ‘groin’ is the ugliest word in the English language” and Ted said that “ointment” was even worse, so of course I had to top them both.

GROINTMENT. Groin + Ointment = Grointment!

GROINTMENT! “Dapper Dan, for the groin!” (tm Ted)

G R O I N T M E N T !

Order now, operators are standing by…

———

And then, I came up with the best song title ever: “Frodo applies the grointment to Sam”. I am never drinking again.

So tonight I was thinking to myself, and wondering if anyone on earth was insane enough to have also come up with that word. I submit this visual as evidence:

Does this mean I need to change my song to “Frodo applies the grointment™ to Sam”?

This was too long to be a status update

Yeah, so there’s that movie coming out that’s named after everyone’s favorite relationship status on Facebook: “Single”. No, wait: “It’s Complicated”. But what you may not know is that the original title for the movie was “You Have 29382638 Farmville Requests”.

Facebook is testing out a new feature on their site—the “show only features that work” view:

(No, really, I see this view 4 out of 5 times I go there.)

I DID IT

I think a blog with comments disabled has to count for something, yes?

Whoa, I think they need to break up again

When Slint reunited in 2005, I was briefly excited at the possibility of seeing them again. How brief? About the time it took their Chicago show to sell out. During those five seconds it also occurred to me that I had no transportation TO Chicago. Then they did a bunch more shows in 2007, but by that point I was officially too old to rock.

And now, this: http://www.slint.com/ (click there). I have to say, I don’t much like this new musical direction they’re taking.

Wait for it…

I like their old stuff better.

NOTE, FROM THE FUTURE: Damn, they got rid of the cheesy flash intro. Now this entry makes even less sense!

Squat page? OH SHI-

So my awesome domain name (this one) disappeared for a little bit. It expired and I had no idea, until an alert reader (aka my “special lady”) pointed it out to me. I had a squat page that had the wonderful title of “the dotcom yahoo domain name at theworldwidewebdotcom.net” and a clipart of internets and a bunch of search terms.

“But I was not notified!” I said to myself. Then I remembered that when I registered it I gave them my old gmail address, the one I quit using when I got gmail styles on my inter-Smeat. I checked, and lo and behold there were lots of mails, starting with “domain expiring in two months” to “domain expiring in five minutes” to “we’re not going to hold on to this forever, you know” to “PAY UP, DIPSHIT!”

So anyway, what’d I miss while I was gone?

What I do for a living
