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.

Well, I've been on the phone with my cell phone company for the last two weeks, and apparently it's my fault that after a year of problem free use, I suddenly cannot text message with anyone outside their network. Hey, their technicians looked into it and said there's nothing wrong. MUST be me.

Why doesn't someone grab a few hundred million of the VC that's flying around right now and start a phone company that treats you like... a human being? Stop hiring from the dregs of society for your support positions, get rid of contracts altogether, and stop crippling my phone, and you will eat everyone's lunch. You could charge me twice as much as you do now, take away the Free Minutes To People With The Same Last Name As You or whatever nonsense carrot they're using these days, and I would still wait in line like a starving Bolshevik to give you my money.

Oh god and the cherry on top of my consumerist wet dream would be for someone competent (like Apple) to design a phone that didn't make me want to screech at the top of my lungs and smash it into the ground like the monkeys from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
