Irony at It’s Best

Via Understanding Google Maps & Yahoo Local, the words of a Locksmith recently banned from Google Maps:

After that many of my claimed listings got hijacked by my competitors, I knew I’ll crack the method to do it myself & that I’ll send you my revelations in order to shut down this option.

So we have a locksmith who considers it acceptable to test and defeat a company's security. Does he also walk up and down the streets in his home town trying to break into buildings?

Is there no Locksmith Oath?

Introspection

Merlin continues to inspire.

Diana mentions Randy Pausch's Last Lecture which is getting a lot of attention with his recent passing. Many people are probably already in a mood to seriously consider their life's course.

While these two posts have great value to me, I fear the next few weeks. The influx of attention, conversation and links that these genuine heartfelt posts generate will be irresistible for imitators.

Perhaps though, this global blogger introspection will lead to some greater universal truth?

What I know for sure is it will difficult to ignore.

Back Online

During a server upgrade a couple months back I managed to forget to import the mysql data for this site. Whoops. :/

Look for a few changes coming to this area. :)

The Only Bad Comment Is When It’s the First Comment

A new T-shirt announcement from Mozilla gets it's first comment a month later, and it's a doozy. Of course, for all it's negativity it is probably the only reason the rest of the people commented and prolly got them links to boot (like this one!).

Here's the adorable image that got the commenter in a tizzy: Cute Fox
