Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
tommyrot, you'll have a Borders near your stop, too.
Cool!
Hey, you'll be just down the road from me!! I'm on Lake Cook Road. We'll have to get together for lunch sometime!
Gawker traffic numbers look terrible:
It's quite amazing that Lifehacker traffic seems so unaffected. IO9, on the other hand? In the toilet.
I wonder if lh readers have always been more likely to read feeds and/or follow links to individual posts, rather than hanging around on the site itself as its own destination?

It's an interesting thought. The redesign is for more pageviews and to make advertising more visible. If the only site that's not experienced a marked downturn is being consumed by people who're skipping steps and missing the ads anyway, it's a bigger miscalculation than I'd thought.
And it's big--I need to re-read the terms of the traffic bet Denton made. Man, I love IO9 and the editors big time, but big daddy? Doucherag.
I just installed Picasa on my laptop so I can tag my fanart reference photos. It does facial recognition! And it can almost tell the difference between Misha and Castiel. Uh, not to sound vaguely obsessive, or anything.

I read Jezebel through an RSS Feeder, but every time I click through to read the comments (which are often better than the articles) I want to kill someone.
Went back home to get a cable. There were 10,000 full trash bags with our ceilings in them on our front sidewalk. . Ok not that many but almost. Looks like the 'simple fix' wasn't possible. Otoh? I wasn't there when whatever went Down went down. So I'm only about half as freaked as I would have been. Probably.
