Watch the World Cup on your computer

From BoingBoing. Seems, given the crap they've taken from some demented lawyerarchy, this is the least I can do.

Paul Boutin: how to watch FIFA World Cup live on your PC
Paul Boutin has written a tutorial that shows you how to watch the FIFA World Cup live on your PC. Link(Boing Boing would like to thank Baker & McKenzie, and their client, Infront Sports and Media for letting us know about the World Cup. Before receiving their letter, I didn't know what a World Cup was. Now, I do.)

VF, here he cums

From Gawker. Here's a work sample from the new editor of Vanity Fair online. Didn't I hear Atoosa Rubenstein's contract was up for grabs?

Itinerary

Taxis will crash you;
Subway folks stab;
Pedicabs have no a/c;
Buses are drab.
Ferries take ages

Limos are expensive;
You might as well walk.

Operation Global Media Domination: STFU

TIASo yesterday my power goes out at 2pm, just as I am seeding the Bullshit Jobs post with lovely linkies. It's still out. So, for yesterday raincoaster had precisely one, count 'em, ONE post.

And the record for the highest number of hits in one day.

So, let me see if I get this: unless I am posting about Michael Sandecki and Clay Aiken, Mentos and Diet Coke, or Orgasm Videos, you basically don't want to hear from me. Okay, fine. Be that way. See if I care.

Just you wait, your rejection will turn me back towards the Squid. You'll be sorry.
