Thanking my lucky stars
That I don’t have this horrific skin disease that causes nail-like growths from the skin (warning: it really isn’t pretty.) However, if you have any idea what it is, it might help this guy out.

Who outed Matt Sanchez?
Columbia student, Matt Sanchez, aka “Rod Majors” and “Pierre LaBranche” claims to have been outed by left-wing bloggers. Unsurprisingly, it’s not only a self-serving claim tailored to Sanchez’s political agenda, it’s patently false. Matt Sanchez was in fact outed by gay porn fans who picked up on the Matt Sanchez/Rod Majors connection in December 17, 2006. This is a full two months before bloggers like Joe. My. God. and Tom Bacchus picked up on it.

Get Paid More
An article in the New York Times discusses the use of publicly available information in salary negotiations: “If information is power, then most employees who enter salary negotiations are holding pea shooters while the boss is encased in a Kevlar vest.” Smart employers and employees already use these sources of information to set competitive salary ranges for new openings. Hopefully better informed employees will help address the equity issues created by the dumb employers.

Norton Antivirus 2007
I decided to ditch this repugnant program from my computer entirely today, despite having some 240 days left to my subscription. It just wasn’t worth hvaing my system slowed down and I’m sick to death of hearing my hard drive churn under its burden. Norton Antivirus has become a bloated piece of crap and I can’t stand the damn thing anymore. I am looking for something better and lighter weight. Let me know if you have any ideas.
Extreme Eating
Every eaten 2,000 calories in a single meal item? You will. Elvis would be at home in today’s climate of gigantic calorie meals. If you don’t know the story of the Fool’s Gold Loaf, a sandwich consisting of peanut butter, jelly, and a POUND of bacon.
