Someone please shut this guy up. Like with a shotgun.

While sound and sight go hand-in-hand in most mediums, until recently web publishers practically forbade advertisers from using audio in standard web advertising. Not any more.

I can barely deal with the NewsToday chime when it loads in a background tab. I can’t even imagine how awful ads with sound would be. Oh wait — yes I can… Ater using Earthlink’s portal for a few months when I was a subscriber, they added a Flash ad to the top of the main page. Every time you loaded it (which because it was a portal homepage was often) the animation started over again, including the sound. I quickly switched to my.yahoo.com.

The Bush administration has chosen Jerry Thacker, a Pennsylvania marketing consultant who has characterized AIDS as the “gay plague,” to serve on the Presidential Advisory Commission on HIV and AIDS.

Judging by the progress bars, the ATM I used this morning was Mac-based. How odd.

Pop quiz, hotshot.:

One 20 month-old girl who’s already been to the emergency room twice in her short little life plus one skateboard plus one set of stairs equals?

The answer.

Chalk up another trip to Children’s Hospital Emergency. She’s fine, folks. Just a slight fracture. And the most wonderful thing is… she did it 1 day after we started being covered under our new insurance plan.
