Is Your "Google Finger" Broken?

Greetings and welcome to 2010. We're living in a technological wonderland where you can look up anything from a wide array of different devices.  Knowing that, maybe it's about time we stop asking other people questions that we can answer ourselves much faster.

Intervention For People Who Still Use AOL

You've Got Spam

Got bless AOL (nee America Online). It's the internet service provider that refuses to die despite being rendered moot by a maturing* online community. While the media is throwing around the buzz phrase "Web 2.0" (which means nothing, by the way), AOL can best be described as "web beta 0.1". I admit I'm am making an educated assumption since I haven't used the service in over five years simply because it makes about as much sense as riding a bicycle inside a moving vehicle.

Craigslist is Balls for Job Searching

As you may have gathered, I've been unemployed now for the past couple of months thanks to an economy that's less stable than a drunk walking down a steep incline (...meh). During the course of my exhaustive job hunt, I threw a few resumes, complete with cover letters, to ads posted on Craigslist. And nine times out of ten, I'm forced to realize that my time would have been better spent addressing those emails to the kitchen wall.

Need Something To Upload on YouTube? How About Another "Lazy Sunday" Parody?

So you signed up for YouTube but you're tired of just being a voyeur. What can you upload that'll propel you and maybe your friends to "internet pseudo-celebrity" status? How about you bust out a camera and make another "parody" of the classic SNL Digital Short "Lazy Sunday"? Why not? There's only about 500 of them up on YouTube already and finding the real one is like that classic "Where's Waldo?" when he hides himself among ten thousand impostors. In other words: fun!

Fowarded Fun Facts

I usually loath the e-mail messages whose subject lines include those two deadly letters: "F" and "W" - with a colon added for flavor. Forwarding is a grossly misused e-mail convienence that fills my inbox with fake stories of children dying or inspirational crap that forcibly ejects the Pop-Tarts out of my stomach and onto the monitor (the office janitor hates me, by the way). Every hangup has an exception and one type of forward I actually do enjoy is the one filled with interesting little facts that amaze, astound, amuse and some other "A" word. I thought I've read them all but I got some brand spanking new ones I'm just dying to share. Since, as a rule, I don't usually forward messages, I'll just post it here. Enjoy!

"Outed" by Google News

My friend informed me, via a MySpace message, that perennial Match Game 7x panelist Charles Nelson Reilly had passed away over the long weekend. Since I have since lost all patience with televised news and the local newspaper (where you have to pick the news tidbits from the cracks of celebrity gossip), I decided to conduct a search for the old flamboyant nabob's cause of death on Google News.
