I think I might be done with my last report! PLEASE make that woman not hand me a stack of drafts at our meeting on Monday. PLEASE! I’ve kept my mouth shut so long, and I fear I can’t keep it shut NO MORE! But today, right now, there is NOTHING left to do for her. NOTHING!
Been meaning to post this for a while…
Dear Abby,
This is a club/place/hangout outside Summerville, GA. Folks can come here and do their karaoke thing and dance. You can, too.
Please join us.

OMFG! I have uploaded 4,000 photos to Flickr. As Mr. Izzard would say, "Jeezy Creezy!"
Here’s #4,000, taken of the June Bug Cafe in JP:
Note that it may look like less to you since many are private. You’re just going to have to trust me! 
Well, I was going to blog and ask if anyone else was having trouble with GMail and Google calendar, but I decided to IM "Bostonist Jon" first. He said it was happening all over the Comcast world. It always cracks me up when we’re IMing about something that seems not all that significant, and then there’s a story on Bostonist. I feel like I’m "in the know" or something.
Happened the other day with Lifehacker, too. Because of a conversation on Ask MeFi, I sent an email to Lifehacker asking about how much they test software they recommend. Very next day, there was a very detailed explanation of their software policy posted.
That’s what I love about the internet. It’s run by real people. You can "get at them", befriend them, and even be one of them. It’s not the anonymous and dangerous place some people make it out to be. You just have to know how to use it. In my experience, most webby people are like me: a little nerdy, a bit too enthusiastic about their interests, and really helpful.
OK, So back to the Google thing. The outage today makes me realize how Google-centric my life has become. I really need to export all my email addresses so that the next time I can’t access Google, I won’t be stuck without my most important contacts.

Update: Bad Google + Comcast interaction was a very popular topic today in the blogosphere.
I know this only be of interest to about 2 of you (if that), but I use the Firefox extension gSpace regularly. It’s a way of using your GMail account as file storage in a pretty organized way. It works like FTP. With the latest update, you can actually play songs right from gSpace without downloading them to the computer you’re using. There’s a new photo mode, too. Very groovy!
