Google’s Unnecessary Arrogance
“The public still thinks of Google as a hero, and the good it does still far outweighs the bad. The well isn’t bottomless, though; it never is.”

Incredibly over-the-top parody of “Blind Date” — hilarious, but definitely offensive if you’re of a mind to [...]
Just found myself scratching an insect bite on my right elbow — now find myself worriedly wondering if it was a bedbug or not. I imagine I would have noticed it earlier, though, if I had sustained it overnight; wouldn’t I have noticed it during the morning? I don’t see anything substantially raised [...]
There are far, far, far worse things than bedbugs to have to deal with in your life.
BBC:
Biloxi resident Harvey Jackson said his wife, Tonette, was missing after surging waters hit their house.
“The house just split in half. We got up the roof and the water came and just opened up, divided,” still visibly shaken Mr. [...]
I’m writing this before starting to get ready for the day, so I’m both not very cogent and also aware of some time pressure.
In terms of bedbugs, I’ve fortunately not seen any live bedbugs since the spraying. I do see some bedbug corpses on the floor, which are tidied up with Kleenex, and I [...]

I find I really must say again, hopefully to comfort other sufferers of bedbug problems, that seemingly for a while you’re [read: I'm] going to be easily goosed up by nearly anything that causes your [my] skin to crawl.
I have been sleeping on an air mattress given to me by one of my bosses. [...]

Ann Coulter calls New Yorkers cowards who would immediately surrender if attacked.
There’s really no way to put it less bluntly than that. What a bitch.

Technoogle: Google Sidebar Is Out, And It’s Awesome
Google offers a new Desktop Search tool, which now includes a rather cool-looking sidebar. But … *sigh* … not for Macs.

The concept of desiring this bedbug infestation to go away and never come back focused me on my desires, and so I brainstormed for a bit … what do I really want to do with my life? What is in my soul, making me unhappy right now? Unsurprisingly, my desires deal with attractiveness, [...]
A quick post to share with you this bookmarklet, which strips all images from a page and turns it into black text on a white background. It’s an amalgamation of two bookmarklets I found here. (It is an absolutely huge bookmarklet if you look at the text — 2,761 characters!)
Another random bit, since [...]
As I write this, I’m making myself late for an appointment, but I think I’ll feel better if I get it out into writing: I’m slightly frustrated at the appearance of a live bedbug last night on my mattress, or possibly more if they don’t bite twice in different areas. (I’m aware of the [...]

One unpleasant side effect of having bedbugs is that you begin to see and feel them everywhere, even places they aren’t. I imagine that happens to a lot of people dealing with unwelcome intruders into their lives, even if those intruders aren’t insects. But, for example, a weird sensation on your skin becomes [...]
In the midst of all the bedbug fun (I am seeing dead bug corpses amidst the apartment, and having insane glee at the thought — DIE, you fuckers, DIE DIE DIE!), I got forwarded this quite little fun bit at work:
