operation global media domination: social bookmarks

TIAHere is the code for the social bookmarking I’ve been putting at the bottom of my newer posts. If any tech-savvy persons out there would care to improve it with images, I’d be very grateful and promise to host the images myself.

Again, a word of warning: I, myself, have not tested these. But I’ve seen that I’ve been on Digg and Stumble and a couple of others, so at least they plant the seed.

Presumably you’re smart enough to see where you put in the URL to your post, and the title of the post. If you’re not, I cannot help you.

quote o’ the day: Jackie Mason and Frank Sinatra

via Former Frontier Editor: Jackie Mason is speaking:

Frank Sinatra saved my life.
One night at the Sands, four guys started beating and kicking me within an inch of my life. Just when I thought I was going to die, Frank walks by and says,
“That’s enough, boys.”

Frank, a little to the left and more twinkle, please!

Operation Global Media Domination: the psychic cost of famewhoredom

TIABoredom and aesthetic revulsion.

I mean look at this site! Those social bookmarking links work like a charm; not only have I gotten Digged (Dug?) and Stumbled several times (gee, sounds like  typical Saturday night round these parts, actually) I’ve gotten on several news services I ain’t never heered of. Of which I ain’t never heered.

We’re extremely correct here on the ol’ raincoaster blog, yo.

But as I was saying, those blogs are a PIA to format and paste in every damn time, easily adding 15 tedious minutes to the posting process, 15 minutes that could be better spent leaving snarky comments asking whether the Gawker Twin Hermiones really think tedious didacticism is the future of blogging, or whether Boris Johnson is ever going to answer my question…despite the meaninglessness of those activities, they’re still more laden with numinosity than formatting social bookmark links.

Besides which, I’m not sure they all work. Do let me know; what’s the point of famewhoring inefficiently?

At some point I suppose I’ll become technologically sophisticated enough to steal some buttons for the links, but until that happy day this blog is going to look like a desperate, clawing catfight of text-based famewhoring. I’m not sure even I think that’s worth it.

pic o’ the day: say hello to Mr Blobby!

Ain’t he a charmer? You can see he takes after his daddy. I wonder if it’s true what they say about noses and…

Mr Blobby!

The pic was taken by Kerryn Parkinson of the NORFANZ expedition by the Australian Museum. Mr Blobby is a Fathead (guess where they got the name?) or Psychrolute, and he is obviously loved for his warm personality. Or his staggering wealth; he’s no uglier than Aristotle Onassis, come to think of it.

Mr Blobby rolls with a posse, yo!Hmmm, is he single?
