Phreadz and Seesmic competitor 12seconds.tv, which we've billed as the true "video Twitter" because it restricts clips to twelve seconds in length, has opened its private beta doors for one day only in celebration of Talk Like A Pirate Day.

Why does Scott McCloud 's map of Western Europe depict a Germany that encompasses Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, the eastern half of Austria, Hungary, and Slovenia? Also, why does Google Chrome sound like Google is reinventing emacs as a Web browser, with Javascript instead of Lisp?

< ronebofh > i swear, the facebook app fad makes me want to puke. it'll get reamed soon the profile changes, if facebook can pull it off, will kill most of the stupid apps they had some facebook developer garage and even the biggest folks were like 'we're fucked' you mean snide and fuckyou ?

en_ki brought to my attention elsejournal , an effort to decentralize journals.  Since i have a genetic defect that precludes any possibility of generating useful code, i'll probably...out, "UR DOIN IT RONG."  Because that worked so well back when my tilted windmill was Usenet II.

If you're using Firefox, you can block Snap previews, like what LiveJournal just added , as long as you have Adblock installed and block "http://shots.snap.com/*".  Disabling graphic previews at your...the rest of the site, and the Options menu within each Snap preview that allows you to disable the stupid things doesn't work at all. Looks like i might just stop paying for this journal after all.

I saw a Silicon Valley flyer on Facebook for The IT Flower .  I showed it to my boss and cosysadmins.  The derision in our office was off the scale.  I would really like to see the negative form of the flower, where the axes go off into How Work Doesn't Get Done and Types of Work Avoidance .
