Well, it has finally happened. Killing rampages have changed venues from schools to internet consulting companies.

Seven employees of Edgewater Technologies were killed in Wakefield, Massachusettes by employee, software tester-gone madman, Michael McDermott.

“Michael McDermott, 42, walked through the offices at Edgewater Technology carrying an AK-47 assault rifle and the other two weapons, authorities said.”

The gunman came to work on Tuesday and apparently open fired at 11a.m. There is not a motive to this madness but McDermott had recently been coming in late and having work performance problems.

Very scary…..Watch your back.

Ah, yeah. Just watching a little late-night Dogma, a little pre-Christmas present I got from my mother-in-law. Snoogins.

Basically, we decided to totally copy Kottke, and we hacked BlogVoices to do our bidding. So there’s a semi-discussion board system now, as implemented by the Discuss link now in the header of every post. So use it, get to know eachother, and PLEASE: NO FLAMING. I’d like to think we’re all adults here, and I’d hate to see it turn out like the FuckedCompany message board.

There is a new poll up, so please contribute. Feel free to vote more than once if necessary on this one (although preferably not for the same item). Also, we’re thinking about adding a new kottke-esque BlogVoices ‘message-board’ system, where you can post replies and comments to posts made by the writers. So look out for that.

Is this not the ugliest excuse for a GUI you have ever seen? Not to mention it’s also the dumbest link slashdot has ever provided.

**Update: That site seems to have been slashdotted.
  slashdotted = broken, exceeded, brought down, ass kicked, etc.

Sure wish I had a PowerBook about now.

Okay, so of all the places in the world to be the week before Christmas, I’m in Arkansas, doing family-in-law related activities. So this means one thing, which in turn means another thing: My internet access is stripped to a bare minimum over the next 4 days, which in turn means that I, for one, will not be posting before Christmas. So there you have it. 808 or Map might post, so you never know. Ask Tai nicely, and you might get a shiny new survey, though.

So it looks like we’ve topped out at about 76 votes in the poll… not bad for a site that started out with a user-base of 4, and all of us wrote for it.

A new survey will be posted shortly, as soon as I can come up with a new idea for one.

Sadness. The word starts to look funny when you read it that many times.

FUCK BUSH. <—- would make a great t-shirt

This guy has the best name for all the shit talkers of the world, LOL. Comedians are going to have plenty of material about Bush for the next 4 years.
