Palin Admits Crossing Border To Take Advantage Of Canada's Health Care System:

“We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada,” Palin said in her first Canadian appearance since stepping down as governor of Alaska. “And I think now, isn’t that ironic?”

mrgan:

I mean, where to start.

1. The new version of Microsoft Visio - which, in case you’re not cursed with a sucky office job, is a very popular diagramming app - includes a rip-off of Panic’s Transmit truck.

2. They didn’t just copy the icon, of course - they first ran it through the world’s worst autotracer (check out that front grill!)

3. All the other icons in the app are of this “quality”.

4. Visio also includes a groundbreaking feedback feature called Send-A-Smile/Send-A-Frown. It is of similar quality as well.

Regarding Barry Zito in 2010

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 11:29:11 -0800

Is he worth the GDP of Belgium? No, and he never will be. But if can replicate last season for the next four years, the contract is going to be a substantial overpayment, not a historical debacle.

Oh I love you, McCovey Chronicles.

Sometimes, I Hate America

So a United States snowboarder who won the bronze medal “volunteers” to go home after TMZ releases “racy” photographs of him and his medal (Completely SFW), but a Danish woman curler poses nude (NSFW, in Danish. Unrelated) for a calendar spread and no one cares.

Sometimes I think the terrorists have already won.

Yet another Facebook fail

Edit: To make matters worse, here is how you get a listing of all your friends.

Click on Account > Edit Friends. This takes you to a page that looks very similar to the Friends page linked in the sidebar, but the background is gray. Seriously.
In the sidebar, click All Connections.

Sigh.

mrgan:

This is what I see when I click “Friends” in Facebook’s main menu (when I log in once every 3 weeks.) Nowhere does it show my actual Facebook contacts. Just in case you were under the mistaken impression that Facebook is for keeping in touch with your friends.

Jesus Diaz from Gizmodo:

I’m sorry, Cupertino, but Microsoft has nailed it. Windows Phone 7 feels like an iPhone from the future. The UI has the simplicity and elegance of Apple’s industrial design, while the iPhone’s UI still feels like a colorized Palm Pilot.

When I first saw this, I couldn’t help but laugh. You’re absolutely kidding, right?

If I had a kitchen I could use, actual food in said kitchen, and wasn’t so damn anti-analog, this Moleskin would be perfect.
