Discussing style sheets for making web pages with different number of columns I took a screenshot of my favorite format (big GIF) ... and it struck me how that site is actually pretty good looking.



Not well read, perhaps ... but pretty good looking. And mebbe even pretty well written.



I just can't win for losing!



p.s. if you cursor over links like that SnapShot doesn't display the actual contents ... it fetches just the mainpage for that URL.

... a nice little site called FeedDigest let me put somrthing together:

While piling snow up on the face of our hill for the kids' tobaggan run I'd make a big pile off the the side, bit by bit. And bit by bit the pile got bigger as the run got steeper and slicker. When the run was good enough to use (Earlier, in fact, cuz I couldn't hold them back.) the kids would spend hours a day tearing down the hill. Me? I'd dig a cave into the pile. Curl up in there with my pipe and a tankard of my home-brew beer ... sometimes my springer spaniel would come in and join me ... snug as an arctic-bug in an arctic-rug!

Top bid? $87

Typical bid? $50



So figure: the highest quote is $8.70/article. And a typical hourly rate is $15.

So he's gonna knock off 10 quality articles, 30 minutes on each.



Yaa. Right.

Marc Orchant passed away a week after suffering a massive heart attack.



I found what I think was his last blog post. December 1. He posted, "I’ve done my absolute best to eliminate any trace of myself on Facebook."

http://insanejournal.com http://greatestjournal.com and http://deadjournal.com are struggling to keep up with a flood of new registrations. 3 guesses where those are coming from.

InsaneJournal is so under the gun it isn't able to issue Captcha images for new accounts. The IJ blog posted this:

"I have been in touch with the owner of GreatestJournal and their servers are overloaded. Due to this they are currently telling anyone who attempts to create a journal over there to come to InsaneJournal.

Sad, really. I mean when you think of the tens and hundreds of millions of dollars profit taken by kidz who created FB and MySpace *Gack Ptui!!*.



Always "too busy" ... always doing 20% of the effort to get 80% of the buss ... always cutting corners to make things fit ... a generation of con-artists. I'm sure they'll get along with Putin's mafiosi real well.



(And you think I'm kidding about how yuppies and yuppies' kidz are an epidemic.)
