Netflix Movies That Don't Suck →
Tuesday Tumblr: This is easily the best site of the week! I found it a little while ago and have gotten a series of great recommendations from it. It’s user submittable so the more people who read and submit ideas, we all benefit.
Check out this site. Follow it. Read it. Love it!
I sure do.

I love this quote and agree with it 100%. I went to school for 4 years for Creative Advertising which taught me I could never work in Advertising, or Sales, or Retail of any kind. I can’t sell people crap they don’t need. It’s against everything I believe in.

Yahoo! are shutting down del.icio.us, ending their careless stewardship of a once-great service.

Google Chrome CR-48 Notebook First Impressions
The moment Google’s announcement about Chrome OS and the Chrome Notebooks was over I raced to the site and signed up in hopes of receiving one of the elusive beasts. I figured the coveted CR-48 laptops were going to be handed out to tech bloggers and tech journalists.
