I’m old; What exactly is a slam pig? Lemme just Google… Oh my god, DOES YOUR MOTHER KNOW YOU TALK LIKE THAT?

Whoever invented PVC soldered clamshell packaging needs to die. Maybe not literally, but the fact that heavy-duty industrial-strength scissors, machete-sized knives-designed-to-carve-wooly-mammoths, small power chain saws, etc. have been unable to penetrate your packaging for my ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY COMPACT FLORESCENT LIGHT BULBS makes me want to switch back to fuck-the-earth 75-watt...

Launch School Deadline Extension
I’m extending the deadline to January 15 (the program starts the last weekend in January), as it’s been repeatedly pointed out to me that everyone’s out of town right now and probably through the New Year and it’s not a particularly convenient date.

rachellehruska:
Okay I should have clarified THIS.
Lock and Spiers you need to know because not only are they masters in the art of new media, they are two of the very few mavens who will actually help you learn how to make an online business succeed.
Carney and Feld? Those guys will tell you about every single party these people throw. Every single one. They also will be more than willing to...
This is what happens when Crushable interns...
they’re forced to interact with Jon Gosselin in their supposedly safe college environs.
Poor intern Hillary.
More disturbingly (to me!), this means that I’ve read an item each about both Gosselins in a 24-hour period, which I consider a conspiracy of all media to distract me from my ongoing obsession with Julian Assange.** (I couldn’t resist the Gosselin/Palin camping clip,...
