Internet Honest-to-goodness

So many blogs are crap that the two substantives—blog and crap—will soon be synonymous. But every once in a while you find a post so honest-to-goodness and beautiful that it single-handedly exonerates the whole damn category.

Internet Bunny spam

For many companies, Orthodox Easter is a great opportunity for sending tons of crappy e-mails that are written worse than most unsolicited mass mailings commonly known as “spam.” The Easter greetings filter cries to be invented.

Internet Ride

Yesterday the post on Woody Allen’s titles got linked long and wide, from Kottke to Daring Fireball, Design Observer to Quipsologies and Subtraction, Metafilter to Waxy, and The Morning News to La Repubblica. Over 10k unique readers in a day. Thank you, folks.

P.S. Boing Boing and Typophile, too.

Internet Unfull

YouTube has full-screen viewing capability — why oh why Flickr has no such thing? By the way, did Flickr add any useful feature lately? Not one?

Internet Remorse

I’m guilty on 3 out of 25 accounts: #6 (posting more than once a day) but only in the sidebar, #17 (unfeedable comments) but I’ll do something about that, #20 (serif fonts) but I consider it a virtue. What’s your charge?

Internet Burned

FeedBurner seems to be having a rough day. The counter doesn’t load and their site is a mess. Adding more flare, you say?

Internet Feed botched

Sorry for the erratic feed operation—FeedBurner seems to be a capricious and cruel mistress. Besides, all those little SmartThis and FlareThat seem to be cutting each-other’s throats.

Update: Done. Works again. Sorry for the mess.

Internet Downtime, slowness

DreamHost hosted sites (including mine) experienced numerous outages these days thanks to a mighty DoS attack against D.H. DNS servers brought by the Easter bunny. The site may also be extremely slow at times, especially when posting comments — my apologies.
