For real this time... so long, Joe.

Apparently, the cert for textonly.in is self-signed. Probably harmless, but something to keep in mind when you're trusting your feed to them. :) Wed, 28 Sep 2011 18:01:36 +0000 http://www.allfacebook.com/facebook-text-only-2011-09#IDComment200436940 http://www.allfacebook.com/find-out-who-facebook-thinks-you%e2%80%99re-searching-for-2011-08#IDComment184409962 It's more than just friends -- it looks like a friends-of-friends list. I have 183 friends -- and 745 names on the Facebook Friends script report. I'm actually looking over the list to see if there are potential new FB friends on it... :) Thu, 18 Aug 2011 22:37:50 +0000 http://www.allfacebook.com/find-out-who-facebook-thinks-you%e2%80%99re-searching-for-2011-08#IDComment184409962 http://fangsbites.com/2011/04/espn-unveils-name-of-captain-blowhards-new-site-and-roster-of-writers/#IDComment146944089 I won't. If Simmons is comparing himself, or his misfit band of oddball writers, to Grantland Rice, he's in desperate need of ego-reduction surgery. I like Simmons as a snarky sportswriter (even though he can be a blowhard). I don't know if I want to read Simmons' take on issues outside sports, nor do I necessarily need a website born in his image. That said, I'll probably check it out. And I can't wait for FJM or KSK to take Grantland.com apart, piece by piece...

It must've taken quite a few games to get all of the right answers, and time to construct the longer joke answers. Points for creativity, if not for time management... :) Wed, 13 Apr 2011 22:36:46 +0000 http://guyism.com/video/trust-me-you-will-spend-the-next-7-minutes-watching-family-feud-for-snes.html#IDComment142604985 http://www.allfacebook.com/facebook-testing-return-of-feed-filters-2010-12#IDComment116488006 Sure, a test I would use and do I get it? Of course not... :) Fri, 17 Dec 2010 20:50:31 +0000 http://www.allfacebook.com/facebook-testing-return-of-feed-filters-2010-12#IDComment116488006 http://www.fangsbites.com/2010/12/new-york-giants-minnesota-vikings.html#IDComment115712071 Did the NFL change their minds on this? As of 7:45 am Eastern, I'm not finding a link to the video anywhere on nfl.com -- so either I'm missing the obvious, or they didn't post it... :) Tue, 14 Dec 2010 12:49:16 +0000 http://www.fangsbites.com/2010/12/new-york-giants-minnesota-vikings.html#IDComment115712071 http://guyism.com/celebrities/aly-michalka-topless-bra-hellcats-pictures.html#IDComment99663602 Hellcats is a CW television series. It airs Wednesday nights at 8 e/p. And while Aly Michalka is hot, she's (1) extremely Christian and (2) a terrible actress. Neither of which will stop her from a Hollywood career, of course... :) Sat, 18 Sep 2010 20:42:40 +0000 http://guyism.com/celebrities/aly-michalka-topless-bra-hellcats-pictures.html#IDComment99663602 http://www.fangsbites.com/2010/08/nfl-network-airs-all-preseason-games.html#IDComment91814221 So they've given up on the split local broadcasts (first half with the visiting feed, second half with the home feed)? Mon, 9 Aug 2010 19:58:14 +0000 http://www.fangsbites.com/2010/08/nfl-network-airs-all-preseason-games.html#IDComment91814221 http://www.fangsbites.com/2010/08/sportscenter-expands-7-hours-and-airs.html#IDComment91759130 If this works, I wouldn't be surprised to see the ESPNEWS brand tossed and the channel rebranded as SportsCenter. Having two brand names for the same basic idea is silly -- and SportsCenter has 31 years of history behind it. Then they need to figure out what to do with ESPN Classic... ESPN4, anyone? :) Mon, 9 Aug 2010 14:55:28 +0000 http://www.fangsbites.com/2010/08/sportscenter-expands-7-hours-and-airs.html#IDComment91759130 http://techcrunch.com/2010/07/02/microsoft-kin-dead/#IDComment84342483 To what end? What was either Verizon or Microsoft promoting by offering and killing the KIN so fast? Don't get me wrong, I wasn't likely to use it -- I don't know that the phone actually had an audience -- but for this to be a publicity stunt, there had to be a goal. I don't see what it was. Enlighten me?

Tuesday 7/6, the winners of A (Brasil bracket) and B (USA bracket) play each other. Wednesday 7/7, the winners of C (Argentina bracket) and D (Spain bracket) play each other. And I am in no way (ha!) predicting the final four by how I named the four brackets. :) Fri, 25 Jun 2010 22:05:21 +0000 http://www.fangsbites.com/2010/06/espn-espn-radios-announcing-assignments.html#IDComment82235313 http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/15/abine-launches-to-help-web-users-regain-control-over-their-privacy-acquires-t-a-c-o/#IDComment80321111 TACO was good. Abine is bloated.

They've outsourced just about all of their features, haven't they?

Glad she did.

I suspect it doesn't mean what most of us would like to think it means.

Or am I giving them too much credit for dramatics... :) Sun, 16 May 2010 02:39:12 +0000 http://buzzerblog.flashgameshows.com/price-is-right-crowns-second-double-showcase-winner-of-season/#IDComment75622044 http://techcrunch.com/2010/05/13/youre-welcome-you-bastards/#IDComment75334429 It certainly sounds as though Fortune and or S&S didn't quite make it clear as to what was expected. It would have been as simple as someone giving TC the quotes they wanted published *and* the excerpts to be reviewed. If the explanation wasn't that specific, then someone was relying on how TC interpreted the email. That's a bad place to be. After all, if you want to avoid "copy write" infractions, give the reviewer the "write" copy to write about.
