I hate AOL!!!!!

Yeah, like that’s news, eh? 🙂

Anyway, a long time ago, in a website far, far away I had a link to the Web Site Garage. I haven’t used the service in years, but still had the link on the Basic HTML Help page. Well today I got a notice that the Website Garage service is being shutdown by AOL/Netscape, who had acquired it while I wasn’t paying attention, apparently. No biggie, right? Well then there was this later on in the email:

To help you transition from the Web Site Garage products, we’d like to begin bringing you, via email, relevant offers regarding Web site-related services and doing business online.

Good thing I read all the way down the page! At least they gave you unsubscribe instructions. We’ll see if I really get unsubbed.

Speaking of email updates, CafePress sent me an email about the Head Wear Sale they are having. Between now and July 21, you can get $3 off any head gear purchase at the One Man IT Dept. Store or any of their other stores.

Things I learned

Random things I learned driving around the country last week: No matter where you are in the US, if you hit the scan button on the radio you will inevitably find these three things: 1. A “Real Classic Rock” station that plays far too much Zeppelin, Kansas and Skynyrd. 2. A just plain “classic rock”…

You know, a lot was made of Vista’s security feature that would ask a user to approve something before it was allowed. I’m sure you’ve even all seen the Mac commercial parody of it. But it’s interesting that in my tests with using Ubuntu on my desktop, that’s where I see this same sort of…

From Dennis “Think about it with me now: Summer—even with cargo shorts on, you look like a blooming idiot with a Pocket PC, your cell phone, accessories, and a wallet bulging out of various places. In winter, though, that’s not an issue. Everyone gets bulged up with a great lump of fleece and wool (called…
