Being a Jerk is a Choice
I'm always intrigued by people who use their personal websites/weblogs as a place to complain about others. What's the point? I think we should use our powers for more good than evil. But I guess that's no fun and isn't provacative or edgy.

Special Deal on Web Hosting at DreamHost
If you checked out the top search queries on Technorati the past week you probably saw DreamHost in the top five for a few days. It was a little weird to see them above Hurricane Katrina for a day. There was a power outage in Los Angeles that affected their data center building. My websites...
