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

"Hey, someone might pay us money for this."

This, with a side of "oh, crap, everyone on the whole internet is yelling at us!!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Where did you move to instead of drop.io, LeN? I should offer my sister a good alternative.

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

Okay, so it kind of depends on what services your sister was using on drop.io:

1) for files, I continue to use dropbox and I ponied up for a year's subscription. The free versions are less space, but all the features. It is easy to use files with dropbox and you can share folders or individual files. I also use cloudapp to share files as well.

2) for voicemails, I use google voice

3) if I want to provide a link for people to send me files, I use dropitto.me which works with dropbox. There is a size limit for that though - which isn't a problem for me.

I heard some people really like mediafire for file sharing.

Yeah, fandom uses megaupload.com a lot, but I'm not sure if she wants less ad-ridden experience. I suggested yousendit.com to her, but it's asking her for credit card details for a trial, so that's not happening.

Dropitto.me sounds interesting--thanks!

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I've used mediafire to distribute music comps I've made. I found out about it after seeing some audioblogs use it. It has been problem free for me so far.

Oooh, thanks for the dropitto.me tip. Could be very useful!

Are we aware of the website that highlights the joys of the iPhone auto correct? (some words NSFW, but very funny) [link]

I'm looking to add a Mac Mini to my home theatre setup so I can watch online video on my TV after we cancel our cable package. Does $300 for this one sound reasonable? [link]

Jessica, that post seems to be deleted.

I am very curious of your plan. I look forward to how it works, as I am thinking of doing the same thing.
