Apparently, We’re All Spaced Out!
Well, almost four years ago, I asked the question two spaces or one after a period? It appears that today I got my answer. According to this Slate article, the consensus is one space, goddamn it, and stop with the two spaces already! At least I have an explanation. I guess two spaces were needed …
Maybe Now, She’ll Get The Message.
Just because the idea is funny, here’s video footage of a girl falling into a mall fountain while texting. I wish we could actually hear her falling, but the commentary is pretty amusing, so here ya go.
Name.Fail
Hmmm. I think the good folks at Research In Motion could have thought a little harder when they picked their careers website. I mean, come on, rim.jobs? Seriously? Or were they going for shock value? I have to admit I haven’t forgotten where I would look if I were interested in working for RIM.

The Federal Government Wishes To Waste Our Money Fighting Court Rulings
How’d I know this was going to happen? Remember that whole federal government losing their suit over their inaccessible websites? Well, they’re appealing the ruling. Seriously, guys, why? It’s been shown that your sites don’t meet your own standards. Why spend more of our money fighting this? It would be cheaper just to comply and …
