Confusing advertising

I’m not really sure what this Face­book ad  is try­ing to sell me. What it looks like it’s try­ing to say is “get waxed so you have no unslightly armpit hair when some­one gives you the Heim­lich maneu­ver.”
But that’s an oddly spe­cific pitch, so some­how I don’t think that’s it.

Google is cute

Oh, very, funny, Gmail Labs.

I wish I had this entire outfit, actually

I think that my avatar in Restau­rant City looks exactly like me.

A new blog that is not so new

I’m start­ing a new, hamster-focused blog for pic­tures, news, and sto­ries about me and the hams. If that sort of thing inter­ests you, point your com­put­ing device to http://www.lifeinhamsterdam.com/.

Confuse a small rodent!

Can a joke image make me feel bad? Of course.

Maybe I should just move.

It is unbe­liev­ably weird to see a story that we broke at Con­sumerist on Mon­day as a “details at eleven” teaser on the local news before “Lost,” com­plete with exte­rior shot of the restau­rant where it happened.

It was that, or give the Web cam away

I put my ham­ster Web cam, fea­tur­ing Dream­si­cle, back up. Because it’s 1997.

Virtual clips

I finally have a decently-formatted vir­tual clips page online. I’m link­ing to my author pages at the var­i­ous sites I write (or used to write) for, and direct links to some of my favorite work. For Con­sumerist and AOA, I list every­thing, since I don’t have enough pieces for either to bother pick­ing out favorites.
