As with a low sucking sound it slowly disappeared again, Starbuck still gazing at the agitated waters where it had sunk, with a wild voice exclaimed—“Almost rather I had seen Moby Dick and fought him, than to have seen thee, thou white ghost!”
      “What was it, Sir?” said Flask.
      “The great live squid, which, they say, few whale-ships ever beheld and returned to their ports to tell of it.”

Moby-Dick, 1851

Guys, FURL sucks. It has sucked for years, and I'm sorry I've been using it. I have switched over to delicious; I would have done this much sooner, but they made it really difficult the last time I tried.


4-21-08  Archives
Uhmm, apparently archives haven't really been working since late 2006. THANX for the heads up guys! They are temporarily fixed, and will stay temporarily fixed until I migrate to new software/layout. I have said some hilarious things in the last 7 years, that future generations will feel lucky I preserved. Go check them out.

Woah, it's been 3 years since the last news update! Fuzzysquid now has a webclips icon for your iPhone! It'll automagically show up when you add FS to your home screen. Atom and RSS feeds have been available for a few years now, but I never made special mention of it.


1-14-05  LJ images
Since it seems to be popular, and it's been linked in a lot of different places besides here, I've decided to post the LJ Images page. At least in the news, at least for now. It's also getting some Google ads because you LiveJournal people are sucking up all my bandwidth (35% for that one page!)

Check out what I've been browsing: FURL.net bookmark archive. Not much commentary, relevance, or sequitur—but it's what's keeping this blog from turning into a meme dumpster.

OOH! I'm so mad. I've been looking to buy a car. And since this isn't 1997, my company hasn't had an IPO yet, so I'm looking at used cars. I was ready to close on a car last week, and then I find out last minute the guy was trying to pass off leatherette as leather. The resale price drops about $1k based on that, but he's not willing to go lower. I saw his ad again, reposted with $200 off the price, but still claiming the car has leather. Today I went to test drive another car, and I explicitly asked the guy if there were any problems with the car at all, however minor. He said "no." I drive 45 min. to see it. No, no problems. Unless you consider that the instrument panel sometimes doesn't work, to be a problem.

Look. Here I am, trying to GIVE you thousands of dollars, and all you have to do is tell me upfront the CONDITION OF THE OBJECT I'M ATTEMPTING TO PURCHASE.
