Salon.com “redesigns” to celebrate its tenth anniversary, and looks older and more tired than ever. Plus, a quick check of the code reveals ninety errors. It’s also slow as molasses. There’s no excuse for that much ugliness.

Anyone else catch Lindsay’s ringtone on Arrested Development Monday night?

Cats in sinks. Awwww.

babies are worse than the Alien alien becaue they come out your cooter instead of your chest. and aliens kill you instantly, once. and babies kill you slowly, and many times, over the period of their lives. also, i don’t recall the alien pooing.

Not only did I get a sneak peek at the very handy Backpack, we managed to get our Binge Fest Beer Fest Great Taste of the Midwest tickets by camping out in Star Liquor’s alley.

Both very cool. I’ll write more about the Backpack thing soon. I’m looking forward to some sort of integration with their awesomely handy Ta-Da lists and the stellar Basecamp.

You already know how much I love Basecamp and Ta-da! lists; the upcoming Backpack is a way to e-mail things to your to-do lists: pretty obvious, but pretty danged neat, too.

Last night, Mr Dynagirl dreamt that I told him about my colleague Chicago Pete’s ability to belch entire bible verses,* but Amy at RubberNun.net brings us the Best Freaky Dream of the Week:

I dreamed that Joe Lieberman was going to run for president again, and he wanted to improve his standing with women voters. So he changed his slogan to “Lieberman Means Lover-Man!” And in every interview he would yell, “Lieberman means Lover-man! I’m a lover!” in his Dr. Zoidberg voice.

Not that he can or can’t, it was just dream wierdness.

Woo! Upgraded to WordPress 1.5, which should help deal with comment spam and add some features. What, gentle reader, does this mean to you? It’s also fixed the commenting system, so comments work well and you can chat away. Are you out there? Post a comment!

Sweet! No Canada or World yet, but still pretty sweet.

you, too, be hypnotized AND LOSE YOUR MIND by the effects of …. The Hasselhoffian Recursion!

My blacklist plug-in has been acting up, keeping everyone from commenting, and I don’t have time to futz with it, so I deactivated the plug-in — and THIRTY-THREE MINUTES LATER, seven spams already. Oy.

Three usability jokes.
