Merry-Go-Round at the Dublin Christmas Market
Trying Jotunheim for Tumblr posting. Check out that date baby, we’re in the Anno Domini and you can stick that Common Era bilge.
Probably unchristian of me.
I’ve always found this criticism a bit perplexing. What do you have against crutches? As medical technology goes, they’re not terribly controversial. If you break an ankle, there’s really no substitute. It’s great to have a crutch around when you need it.
And that’s the essence of the…
Am I the last person to this party?
In the above screen shot the entire frame around the post is a clickable ad. I only realized when I clicked outside the text to return focus to the window so I could use my scroll wheel.
What fresh hell is this? Have advertisers been doing this for a long time? Have I been inordinately lucky in the turning wheel of the web?
As long as I’m picking nits, notice the author and the app in the iPad screenshot juxtaposed with the article title.
ZDNet Author? Boy, someone really wanted to take credit for this piece of… fine writing. Perhaps ZDNet is just evil, after the “full frame ad” I wouldn’t be surprised.
I’d also like to know what real business considers Garage Band a “business” app.
Man, I’m gettin’ old fast.
I found this via Swiss Miss and after looking at the video and glancing at their homepage (title link) I can’t tell if they’re taking the piss or not.
Their tagline is:
Rate Everything*
Everything about your life is exciting. To everyone.*
Really?
Everything about my life isn’t even exciting to me, and it’s my life.
*This text should be centered. I have tried everything** under the sun to get it to center and still it mocks me. WHY MUST YOU MOCK ME TUMBLR! If anyone knows how I can center it I’d be much obliged.
**Everything includes googling it several different ways and trying the various suggestions and changing themes several times in case it was a theme related issue. I haven’t tried editing the theme directly as that’s a bit beyond me ability and I find the will to live is gradually being sucked from my being.
Cut-outs
(for the benefit of you…young people)
When LPs were the primary medium for distribution or recording, manufacturers would physically cut the corner, punch a hole, or add a notch to the spine of the jacket of unsold records returned from retailers; these “cut-outs” might then be re-sold to record retailers or other sales outlets for sale at a discounted price. A special section of a record store devoted to such items was known as the cut-out bin or bargain bin.
While in no sense of the word am I a “young’n”, I did not know this.
