Black and red and white all over

Shield thine eyes before visiting The Daily Pork: The appearance of the site is rather...intense, but then again, so is their passion for pork.

Digression exemplified digitally

I'm trying to find the adverb form of the word 'analog' in the "opposite of digital" sense. The dictionary isn't immediately clear, so I'm Googling for the answer. I came across this message board, where one Nate Branscom asks the same question. He receives a multiplicity of uncited and unsupported answers before the conversation digresses into a conversation about audio formats in the 1970s or something like that. Go ahead: take a look and see if you have the patience to follow the winding thread.

No surprise here...

What American accent do you have? Your Result: North Central "North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.

...but I do pronounce "orange" (a frequently used word here in Syracuse) with two syllables. I worked to kick the Midwestern monosyllabic "ornge," while I was dating Marget, whose beautiful pronunciation of the word made me dissatisfied with my own.

The best of both worlds

I switched to Internet Explorer 7 tonight, and it's very promising thus far. I'd been giving Firefox a second chance this past month, but I found it to be as buggy and crash-prone as it was two years ago when I first tried it. Microsoft, as usual, seems to have done a very good job of incorporating the best ideas of their more creative competitors into a useful package. It's good to have tabs and stability. It even seems to be able to handle AJAX as well as Firefox can. Mozilla's got nothin' on it now!

The Man Behind The Curtain

I just did something I rarely do: I clicked on a banner ad. I feel that I made a solid decision, as this website both amused and astounded me. Amused and astounded you ask? Yes. I was amused by the content, and astounded when I realized that it was an advertisement for a porduct of Microsoft, a company from which I've never before seen the slightest sign of a sense of humor.

Understandable

While Googling around for information on UV radiation in LA I came across this friendly message:

Apparently someone (probably an automated bot) thinks my lil' ol' blog has some marketable value. I'm skeptical. Check out my BlogShares page.
