Hey everyone! Thanks for all the comments on my posts. Believe it or not, they actually keep me motivated.

Anyway, forgive me if you saw these elsewhere, but here’s a handful of quick hits that you may get a kick out of. All of these are from del.icio.us:

• How gullible are the people that buy this gadget? It looks like an old SmartMedia card and promises to ‘upgrade’ your CDs while they play inside your player.
• How about a $300 sticker that promises to improve your gas mileage?
• This guy’s responses to his eBay feedback are priceless.
• Some blogger saved a copy of an unknown Google employee’s blog posts. The Google employee has been posting his thoughts on Google and suddenly decided to take down all his posts and tone them down. Here is the copy that was saved before the posts were removed. Some interesting stuff here. As a side note, I interviewed down at Google… twice, and disliked both experiences. Although they did have free Naked Juice in their reception area along with a censored wall projection of realtime Google searches. Somewhat mesmerising.
• There’s a group of people out there who like to correspond with eachother and write poems and stories using only words of three letters or fewer. Odd!
• Everything I Need to Know I Learned from Iron Maiden. ’nuff said.
• Jokes about the viola are funny?
