Yahoo Podcasts, MSN Video, & Google Video Alerts? Oh, My!
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.

A long, long time ago, when I was just a small girl, pudding was something that was yummy and delicious and would always somehow end up all over my face and between my fingers. However, now that I am grown, The Pudding is scary stalking software that eavesdrops on your phones calls and then tries [...]
Your Private Facebook Info Isn’t So Private

Friday Recap: Fruit Loops Edition
Hey guys. If I sound a wee bit sad today it’s because Susan is back in the office after being out for a glorious 5 work days. It’s taking me some time to get used to her again. To welcome her back, though, I was thoughtful enough to leave her a photo on her desk. [...]
