yendiMy day started with being cc'd on a grumpy email sent to people way up the food chain from me, which is about par for the last three weeks. That's great for a stress eater with diabetes, let me tell you. I'm pretty sure I'm back to where I was in 2009 now. That's a subject for another post, though.
Anyway, have some links:
1. Report: Everyone You’ve Ever Had A Crush On Secretly Had A Crush On You, They Still Do, And They’re Waiting For You. I've always suspected as much.
2. Don’t Let Harlan Ellison Hear This (by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nihilistic_kid) is well worth reading.
3. Yes, a baby was born in a car trapped by ice in Atlanta. Worth noting for the partents: According to the SSA, the girl's name "Icy" was a top-1000 name as recently as 1907 (and made the top 600 in 1899).
4. The age of the iPod is over. I'll still be one of the hobbyists. I like my iPod, and still prefer to have a ton of music and podcasts stored locally. I also like not spending a fortune every month on cell phones.
5. Finally, it looks like LJ's remaining US roots are shriveling up. Frankly, as long as the software works, I'm not sure this is a huge story; the whole point of the cloud is that it's the cloud. And with the exception of DW (which is, not surprisingly, founded on the same early code), I've seen no other services online that offer a tenth of the functionality.
