Friday Recap

Posted by Lisa Barone on 09/28/2007 @ 12:17 pm | Comments (0)

It’s kind of cold and gloomy here in Southern California today. Bad weather in SoCal means you get to treat yourself and basically run amuck. Susan and I are going to celebrate with some burgers and funnel cakes for lunch later. Maybe there will even be spiral-cut whole potatoes with tangy cheese powder. Heart attacks are delicious.

Yahoo Closes Down Podcasting Site
This made me kind of sad, but Read/WriteWeb reports that Yahoo will be closing down its 2-year-old podcasting directory effective October 31. Bummer. As the screenshot depicts, Yahoo doesn’t give any information regarding why they’re closing down the site, they simply offer an apology and expiration date.

There’s been talk that the reason for the … Read more

I think she knows which … Read more
