The future looks bleak, indeed, as the nation's first digitally patrolled highway rolls out ... link

Happytown!

(^ an homage)

So last night I left work, and inside of a quarter mile I was pulled over for not coming to a complete stop before a right turn on red. (Go ahead, roll your eyes along with me) Fortunately, it wasn't a K9 unit. So anyway, 4 years of owning a Jeep and <shudder> a VW Golf have left me with a clean driving record - I actually get the Good Driver discount on my insurance! - and I got off with only a warning. Point being, it was actually a written warning (think demerits in high school), with this at the bottom:

This warning has been issued to secure your cooperation in driving safely and helping to prevent traffic collisions. The San Diego Police Department believes that good citizens will comply with traffic laws when reminded of their responsibilities and the importance of safe driving practices. 

Boy, howdy!

Jersey: We Swear We're Pleasant

My alma mater, New Jersey, seems to be going through a bit of a re-branding effort. So in an effort to encourage visitors to judge us not just by the 7 mile stretch of the NJ Turnpike by New York that is flanked by the smelliest chemical sludge factories on the planet, I present to you the new slogan:

New Jersey, Come See For Yourself

... just please ignore the parts that suck ... in fact, just head south, or maybe west to the mountains.

Perhaps "Only the Strong Survive" would have been better.

By the way, the top 5 contenders:

:: New Jersey: Expect the Unexpected.
:: New Jersey: Love at First Sight.
:: New Jersey: The Real Deal.
:: New Jersey: The Best Kept Secret.
:: New Jersey: Come See for Yourself.

(Thanks Goldsmith)

Ron Moss for President!

"I won't change anything that will affect anyone."

Now THAT is a platform we can all get behind! My girl typed "www.takeyourmoney.com" blindly into her browser, and was summarily redirected to this little slice of genius. That's right - right now you're seeing the very genesis of a fad! Move over Toby and Ding!

Long live Ron Moss!

Million Dollar Idea

Here's an update to an earlier post.

This English kid needed money to pay his tuition and asked himself "How can I get a million dollars?", and shortly thereafter devised a devlish little idea - set up a 1,000 x 1,000 pixel page and sell pixels for just a buck a piece to whoever wanted to advertise whatever (as long as it was pretty 'decent'). Well, he's about to sell out the last 1,000 pixels. It looks like ass, but that's the beauty of it.

Kitten-Induced Vomit

"Cy, short for Cyclopes, a kitten born with only one eye and no nose, is shown in this photo provided by its owner in Redmond, Oregon, on Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2005. The kitten, a ragdoll breed, which died after living for one day, was one of two in the litter. Its sibling was born normal and healthy." Link
