AIG and USair told the photographer to take a bunch more images down from his website. Coverup, or paranoid caution?

I wonder what MrRileycat_Esq would do if I came home wearing CROCS? Would he react like this stalwart cat, saving his or her human from committing shoe crime? Every now and then, I think about getting a pair of CROCS, because they’d make pretty practical gardening clogs and also for those times when we’re on vacation and need a comfortable slip-on sandal that won’t get ruined by salt water. Fortunately, the good people at I Can Has Cheezburger were there to stop me from doing irreparable harm to my dignity and self-respect.

Install Bookmarklets on Delicious Ironically, used my new WP bookmarklet to grab this link. It’s now delicious.com, the design is even cleaner, and soon will be able to do those linkroll posts again.

delicious blog » using delicious on your iphone. Used to use del.icio.us more when I could use my work computer to read news and websites, fell out of the habit post-iPhone. Checked for a bookmarklet rather than an app and found this awesome! FAIL of an official blogpost demonstrating how to add a del.icio.us bookmarklet to iPhone in a video not viewable on the iPhone. All the most useful info is provided by commenters. To their credit, d.i.u. staffers kept reading and responding. I’ll try the bookmark method at home tonight.

BBC NEWS | Europe | Pope ‘distorting condom science’. Wow, this story reads like Science taking on Faith in some kind of jousting match with the Lancet literally taking point. This is another test, this time of the current “Press it!” bookmarklet from the iPhone. It brought the link into the post just fine, but the keyboard doesn’t engage. Meanwhile, it works in the HTML edit screen, but the category list has no way to scroll down, and it’s cut off after the first few categories. More tinkering is called for. Meanwhile, this all-too fallible Pope had better stick to…

With deals in bloom, spring could be lively time for flights to Europe – USATODAY.com This is a test of an old Blog This! bookmarklet that brought this link into a barebones posting form. It dates from a year or more ago and was lurking in the bookmarks section of the copy of Safari. Needs work to resize or perhaps add the Minipost plugin checkbox.

As seen at Pam’s House Blend:: The American Family Association has nothing better to do than harrass Pepsico: Here’s four good reasons I’m going to buy more Pepsi products… no, make that five good reasons. Pepsi gave a total of $1,000,000 to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) to promote the homosexual lifestyle in the workplace. Both HRC and PFLAG supported efforts in California to defeat Proposition 8 which defined marriage as being between a man and a woman. HRC, which received $500,000 from Pepsi, gave $2.3 million to defeat Proposition…

This cartoon via Salon by Keith Knight covers all the essential points about what makes Utah (specifically Salt Lake) “Funique.” Weird liquor laws (which are going away July 1), extremely rowdy, drunk crowds in bars due to either weird liquor laws or everybody acting out to spite the Majority Religion, and FRY SAUCE! Some long-delayed props to Salt Lake by the K Chronicles.

One of the few things holding me back from blogging links more often is that I’m limited to using the iPhone during work hours, and there didn’t seem to be a way to easily blog a link to a web page without a huge amount of tedium. That is, until I realized that Twittelator Pro used javascript in a bookmark to set up a link for easy Tweeting… and I remembered the WordPress 2.7 Press It! bookmarklet also uses javascript to grab a URL, page title, and text, and then it sets up a new post with the link all…

What with one thing and another, its a good time to refinance, plus apparently were part of a trend according to the President. So some guy by the name of Vlad is coming over to appraise the house for the mortgage company. Thats right, its an obvious joke, but still we laughed.
