For I am sick again, just plain sick to death. Of the sound of my own voice.
Well, I haven't been getting much sleep lately. My mind has been racing about pointless crap that really deep down I couldn't care less about. It's almost the weekend again and I wish I were leaving town.
why am i always the last one to say how i feel? ......state your peace, go ahead and say it, i swear it can't get much worse

digg it
So last night I added the digg feed you see on the left of your screen. If you click on "I digg these stories", you will be taken to my digg.com profile. I also just upgraded this site to Movable Type 3.31 which now has a built in rss widget tool. Pretty cool stuff.
In other news:
Have you ever had one of those stress free, yet oh so full of stress, weekends? It's pretty bad when you need a vacation from your weekends. Or is it i'm just not digging Bloomington anymore?

Aaarrrgh, its driving me nuts
A man enters a bar and orders a drink. The bar has a robot bartender. The robot serves him a perfectly prepared cocktail, and then asks him, "What's your IQ?"
The man replies "150" and the robot proceeds to make conversation about global warming factors, quantum physics and spirituality, biomimicry, environmental interconnectedness, string theory, nanotechnology,and sexual proclivities.
The customer is very impressed. He decides to test the robot. He walks out of the bar, turns around, and comes back in for another drink. Again, the robot serves him the perfectly prepared drink and asks him, "What's your IQ?"
The man responds, "About 100." Immediately the robot starts talking, but this time, about football, NASCAR, baseball, supermodels, favorite fast foods, guns, and women's body parts.
Really impressed, the man leaves the bar and decides to give the robot one more test. He heads out and returns, the robot serves him and asks, "What's your IQ?"
The man replies, "Errrrrrr, 50, I think."
And the robot says, very slow, "So.... is.... your.... party.... gonna.... nominate.... Hillary.... for.... president ???"

Is AOL crazy?
Starting today AOL is allowing the use of their mail, IM client, and main software for free. Yeah that's right, free as in you pay nothing. They will still charge for their dial-up service but I hear they will no longer advertise it. This may be a big disappointment for those who looked forward to the aol cd in their mailbox every other day. The thing I don't understand is that 80% of AOLs revenue comes from dial up subscription fees. Can AOL draw enough revenue from advertisements? Is this just more evidence that the inevitable life cycle of a business is failure?
In other AOL news....it seems that netscape.com is trying to steal the social networking bookmark title from the raining king DIGG.com. I've even read that aol/netscape is offering money to top Diggers to switch to their site. That's just lame.
