Random Rants

The monopoly should be natural: Why can't I print Mac designed business cards through FedEx Kinko's online? If you are going to have a site, seperate this interface this from your transaction backbone to make it a service.

Attractive Design: What is the reason why my 2 year old likes to pluck the keys off my PowerBook whenever he can lay his curious little paws on it?

Atmosphere Kills: When I unpacked my bags from Paris, the stench almost made me agree with Doc's point about great food, bad atmosphere.  The problem is smoking in France is so damn enjoyable.

Furthermore: When I worked for a certain President, he had persuaded the press corps to avoid taking pictures of him while smoking so as to not influence the youth.  Interesting both that this reminds me of Roosevelt and Polio, I don't want to catch Polio, there is a civility of the press that has a role and don't show those Les Blogs pics to kids.

Tiger Leap: Are people standing in lines because it reminds them of the first Star Wars or to Flickr it?

Clue: We are listed as a recent investment on their site.

Scrape ID: My last random rant shamelessly noted how Stowe Boyd was scraped by an otherwise great Topix service.  The SoSo feed is MoMo.  Jeff's scraped identity is his Recent Posts sidebar.  RSS isn't just good spam fodder, it can help valuable services aggregate too.

SPSSAG: Should Probably Say Something About Google.  If I wasn't a blogger I couldn't keep up with all the new Gapps.

Syndicoop: They write headlines and categorize for me, I give them ad revenue, Google news exposure included.

Hack the Earl: If you hack the URL of the greatest free streaming silent movie for boys who like Thomas, you might end up with this @@pple instead.

Paddle: Kayak for Ajaxy travel search, Southwest not included but I would rather go to them better fairs within their Flashy routemap and simple site.
