And now my grandfather is in the hospital for broken ribs and a possible punctured lung. I am giving 2011 the stink eye.

JZ, that's possibly some species of rattler, probably a Crotalus oregonus oregonus. I've seen them out at Mt. Diablo in the past; you're certainly in the right area.

We need a "What is that snake?" website to answer this sort of question.
Or a "Rate my snake" site.
Or a "Look at this fucking snake" tumblr.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am joining in on the stink-eye, shrift. 2011 needs to start being a hell of a lot nicer to you.

Anyone want to chip in for a live chicken to take the curse off shrift? I'm good for a fiver.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just got chewed out by my boss because another group is giving us inconsistent information. I forwarded him what timestamps I could to contradict them, but the damage is probably done.
Dammit.
At least my pain meds will be refilled soon. No Ambien, though, which is making things tough.

Jezebel.com has gotten the redesign. They like it even less than IO9 did. Imagine if they'd gotten that buggy version!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As has gawker.com. I think I might be done with them all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
IO9 has at least temporarily lost posters. Which is sad. It's certainly getting less of my time. I'd check gawker and jezebel in my free time, but I'm now significantly less likely to do that.
Nick Denton is making wagers with someone that page views won't go down (they already have for IO9), and he's replying to every tweet telling them to use the "classic" view.
Couple that with the fact that there's a video telling you how to use the new site--major usability fail. It's supposed to be a web site, not an application. Who wants to invest that much effort? I love IO9, but I'm not watching that video.

I was done with Nick Denton a long, long time ago.
