A gleaming favorite fake-new source, The Onion, has got the internet buzzers a-buzzing over their online news viral video service. Lamers and the uninformed are saying “It’s about time”, showing that they really don’t appreciate the lovliness of the onion’s text-based satire. I haven’t been keeping with the rumors swiriling about The Onion’s aquisition but could this mean that they are transforming their fan-base into reportable clicks, in order to become more lucrative as an online property?

Meh, I forgave them when the moved from Wisconsin to New York but I abandoned them when they started putting ads for Chili’s in their podcasts…. fucking sell outs

Global Shutdown Day is coming up for us in GMT -4 (EDT), but for those of you in UTC/GMT +12, it’s already going strong. The world community still doesn’t know what the effects will be with this voluntary action but it will be amazing if someone can quantify and aggregate results.

I think that I will be participating in this global experiment, but I have a lot of computers and internet appliances running. I think I can get away with shutting down the G4 Cube, Powerbook G4, and Dell lappy. I doubt I can convince Snuff to shutdown his PC, but since we have plans for Saturday I don’t think he’ll mind if it is shutdown for a few hours. As for my main machine, my MacBook, I can get by with staying current on my mobile devices.

I wonder if internettrafficreport.com renders properly on my SideKick
