I had a similar reaction to Pandora and Facebook's coziness, although mine resulted in "Clint Eastwood" being played.

I... still listen to CDs.

This is more proof that I Am Old Now.

"That's OK. Just go ahead." got a bona fide cackle out of me.

[greenkoolayd]

all this connectedness to the 'tubes is really effin creepy.

[wombat]

Would this be more amusing if I had any idea who those guys are?

[jaydub]

I hadn't considered they were anything other than the imaginings of a fog-addled comic writer.

I kind of want to see that Skype chat.

[Asherdan]

Like: That "Comix" font header still being in play.

Like: playing with T's latent tendencies.

Don't Like: The implication that the internet is gaming us.

so, Onstad is old? Is that the joke?

The other day at work these ladies were complaining about the screens on our registers that display their purchases and the price for each item. "Do people not believe in privacy anymore? Everyone can see what I'm buying!"
I can't think of any response to that other than... "shut up."

maybe "food chain, get used to it."

Jimmy Somerville

Marc Almond

If I click on those links am I still going to have to see soulful photos of Jimmy Wales at the top of the page? It's as bad as the public radio fund drives.

Yes. And it's worse. He's sort of an odd looking dude. If I were him I wouldn't be photographed from so many different angles.

Wait... what?  Were the items... concealed in her cart/basket?  When you are in a public place... people can typically see the actual items you are buying can't they?  How are words on a screen less private than people seeing the actual item?  How are items you are purchasing publically, in a public place, related to privacy in any way?  Don't you work at a grocery store?  Does she want her cucumber to be concealed in a nondescript paper wrapper?  If so, what exactly is she doing with said cucumber if it is tied to a sense of shame/privacy?  I... uhh... *head explodes*

Sometimes I think that society can go to hell.

This reminds me of my ex who once yelled at me for saying we needed more D batteries in public where people could hear. In her head anybody hearing this would think we needed them for a sex toy as opposed to a flashlight or something.
