You can't tell me what to do. You're not my father.
New features from Gmail, apparently. And this one seems pretty cool. A little bit devious? Sure. Underhanded and unethical? If you want to look at it that way. Don't forget, however, that it's all about giving the customers what they want.
Oh, and by the way: Happy April Fool's Day.
I give you this piece of simple, unadulterated joy. I don't know why I love watching this video so much. I just know that I do. It only gets better the more you watch it, too.

Seriously - Chief Kickingstallionsims. How awesome is that? The last name itself is brimming with awesomeoness, and then to throw in the Chief first name just seals the deal.
I want to party with that guy.
From this morning's AP recap of the UCLA/Stanford tilt:
UCLA needed an extra five minutes to chop down the Lopez twins.
Stymied most of the game by the 7-foot brothers, the third-ranked Bruins broke out in overtime and defeated No. 7 Stanford 77-67 Thursday night to clinch the Pac-10 title outright.
The Bruins (27-3, 15-2) won their third consecutive regular-season title on their home court for the first time in three years and put themselves in solid position to earn a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
So, did UCLA win their third consecutive regular-season title, or did they win it for the first time in three years? Or was it the first time in three years that they had won their third consecutive regular-season title on their home court? Actually, I hope it's not that last one, because it doesn't even make any fucking sense. The truth probably lies somewhere in between, but me thinks it's impossible to tell exactly what it is the Bruins achieved. What this sportswriter achieved, however, is melting my brain trying to parse any logic out of that last passage.
As a former aspiring and not-very-good sportswriter, I know how it easy it is to fall into this type of writing, especially when it's late and you're on deadline. Homeboy probably just wanted to put the achievement in perspective. That perspective, unfortunately, is totally fucked after this twisted verbage rears its ugly head.Or, maybe it was simply the only good picture he had of the car. Either way, his honesty has certainly gotten him noticed.
"Moms brawl at Chuck E. Cheese party"
Just because. There's so much potential with a headline like that. So many questions.
Any surprise it was a couple of Masshole moms? I think not.
Well, it's Holli's birthday, too!
Happy birthday, Holli.
On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you. It must not have been easy to overrule your ego on this one. When you have thousands of people - including esteemed former and current politicians and dignitaries - urging you to run for president, it's probably a very flattering thing. And, in any other election, a third-party campaign from you would likely have a significant impact one way or another. But you wisely recognized that, in a likely Obama vs. McCain election, there was no room for you. Both will appeal strongly to independents, undecideds and moderate voters on both side of the aisle - the very type of voters your candidacy would thrive on. You would have been redundant in this election. Instead, you wisely chose to step aside.
For that, we thank you .
