Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

We're not corporate, but we're kinda freaks about where the data goes, and people use GA extensively without any problems. I think the main looniversity site still uses a whole fancy paid bizness, mostly because they already had a contract, but for things like the individual schools/departments/projects that I deal with more often, it's dead easy and way better than the other free things out there.

Yeah, we used to use Web Trends, then we switched hosts and they ran Web Trends reports for us, then we took the hosting in-house and ... didn't have anything. There's nothing in the budget and our web tech support company had some time left in our allotted hours. So ....

Thanks again again!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I used my TomTom GPS unit for the first time yesterday, and HOLY CRAP it is awesome.

There were a few confusing places where, say, the computer was telling me to get on Interstate 478, which is what nobody on earth except the TomTom computer apparently calls the Brooklyn-Battery tunnel. And then it kept saying "Triboro Branch" instead of Triboro bridge, which was adorable.

Dylan has named it Borgie.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Yes, but do you have Snoop Dogg giving you directions, Jess?

I was all set to install a custom voice until I realized that the custom voices won't give street names (they just say "turn left in 2 miles").

That's a shame, but it makes sense.

But still! Snoop! In your car, giving directions! That amused me endlessly.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I want Samuel Jackson giving directions.

"Turn left, motherfucker! Left!"

And if you miss a turn:

"English, motherfucker! Do you speak it?"

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

That would be worth getting Tom Tom for. I bought the Samuel Jackson iphone app. yes I did.
