Yours Truly, Jay Miller from JayDaily.com

Hello folks, it’s me Jay from Jaydaily.com and today I’d like to explain to you what Twitter is. Continue reading

So I was going to save this first one for tommorow, but then the second one popped up and I just *needed* to post:

via Slashdot:  Wells Fargo Bank Sues Itself

To quote the Slashdot article:

Extreme economic problems require extreme solutions, and Wells Fargo Bank has come up with a good one. They have decided to sue themselves. Wells Fargo holds the first and second mortgages on a condominium that is going into foreclosure. As holder of the first, they are suing all other lien holders, including the holder of the second, which is Wells Fargo. It gets better. The company has hired a lawyer to defend itself against its own lawsuit. The defense lawyer even filed this answer to the complaint, “Defendant admits that it is the owner and holder of a mortgage encumbering the subject real property. All other allegations of the complaint are denied.” On the website The Consumer Warning Network, Angie Moreschi wrote: “We’ve apparently reached the perfect storm for complete and utter idiocy by some banks trying to foreclose on homes.”

…

I think that really speaks for itself.

In other news, the Guinness Book of World Records has levied a Cease and Desist against Failblog.org’s particular usage of a negative entry on the Guinness Book of World Records website.  Basically, it says that the record for the most people killed in a terrorist attack belongs to the attacks on the USA that occured on 11/9/01.  However, due to an oversight on part of the maintainer or CMS, on the side there is something featured on every other page that is completely inappropriate:  Break This Record.  Now, you might laugh, but this is really horrible.  I mean, this is something you do not want people to try to beat, same with any other of the violence-related posts.

So what does Guinness do?

Cease & Desist

I pretty much agree with the response.  Yes, this is bad PR.  So fix it (and I believe they have).  People who look at it will realize that it was done automagically and that no one would actually be that… insensitive, silly, incompetent… to post that by hand.  In order to save  your reputation on the Internet you just gave a publically published C&D to one of the internet’s most popular sites.  Good job.

Here we go!  Finally done making this site.  Charge at it like the horde of hungry wolves I know my worshipers are*

And I’m going to start off the site with my favourite rant of all time.

I am also looking for people to post content as well on the blog.  I’d like this to be a collaborative effort and if anyone wants to get involved, join in.  They can be personal posts, tech posts, news posts, opinion posts, tutorial posts (preferably CSS/XHTML, Photoshop, GIMP, Linux, or the like, but others will do).  Just email chris [[((at))]] snoopyonskittles.com if you’re interested.

I have also added in the About page why this is called Snoopy on Skittles.  Just to satiate your need to know.

*For anyone who doesn’t know me, you have not been blessed with The Awesomeness of Chris, also known as Teh Pwnage of Chris.  This will pass, and you will fall into a worshipful state.  Do not resist.  Yes, this is self agrandizing.  Deserved self agrandizing, but self agrandizing nonetheless
