Confused by the re-format, but damn is this post fucking great. And check out that huge joint. Jeebus.
#32 and in the world ain't bad
Cam is boasting that he’s still #1, and I’ve found that I’m number 32. Not bad.
The real news though is that Alternate.org is number 5. Yipty-frickin-do.
The tangent universe is unstable
If you thought the Requiem for a Dream, Traffic, or Memento sites were awesome, check out Donnie Darko.
Insanely huge and definitely a lot of work went into it. Pay attention.. you might miss something. Also, I noticed that the little faux popup windows are OS-specific.. they detect which platform you’re on and give you the right faux widgets in the Flash by default.

Apple breakup
via Grant: JUSTICE TO BREAK UP APPLE

“We had already won the case, so we were thinking in terms of penalties, and when you do that, it is imperative that you punish those most responsible,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney General Charles James. “Well, we couldn’t ignore that since its inception, Apple had numerous opportunities to dominate the operating system market, but instead, management incompetence and arrogance resulted in decisions that gave us the Microsoft we know today.”

And here’s a link is about the xBox, as Salon calls it, “The Internet Explorer of Gaming Consoles.” (Via Camworld)
Which is not to say it’s bad, but something worse: a Me Too production financed by a company with the resources to accomplish and afford so much more. But where Internet Explorer captured the browser market by being, well, free, the chances in this game-box war aren’t so solid for Microsoft, competing on a truly level playing field for the first time in over 15 years
Jane for short
So the Bitchlog is dead. But fear not, friends: Jane For Short has taken its place, still by Jen, only now apparently she goes by Jane. She’s still Jen to me, and we had a lot of fun this weekend on her way from Vermont to Seattle… mostly eating and drinking, but that’s okay.
because Kev's had a rough time lately:
I respect them for the sheer climbing skill required to perform this commentary:
(this takes a while to load, but it’s worth it.)
Um.
And why wouldn’t you just do this in Photoshop?
