What about a stupid wine bottle stand painted in glow-in-the-dark paint? Hmmmmm?

(Huh, I kind of back-doored into the full Kinja Experience on Lifehacker, posted this comment, and now it's not showing up on the original post here. Thus, a repost!)

So here's a bit of a random tangent... lately, whenever I've been trolling the electronics sections of thrift stores (especially the ones in more affluent parts of the state) I've seen a bunch of old DSL or cable modems. Can these be creatively repurposed, or are they just good for parts at this point?

(hooonk) GO MY FAVORITE SPORTS TEAM!

Uh, that's the case with a lot of companies. After one of the recent episodes where Limbaugh and/or Beck stepped in it big-time, a lot of companies that advertised on their shows found themselves in the target of a massive boycott. They had to go out of their way to tell stations that they didn't want to advertise on…

OK, so you shouldn't be entering your destination while driving and trying to figure out which Coffee Bean you're supposed to meet your friend at.

A LOT of people have said (or maybe a few people have said this a lot) that podcasting is going to go through the roof once in-car Interwebs access becomes ubiquitous. So it's not space talk, although it might have been Kevin Smith baked-out-of-his-mind talk.

Oh, come on. On the Media got HOSED by the committee. Going up against All Things Considered? You couldn't slot some show like AirTalk in there? And we all know the biggest snub here is Only A Game, but leave it to a public radio tournament to ignore a public radio show about sports. Bob Littlefield and Charlie Pierce…

Would that I could, but as the name implies, I can't at work.

And I spent so much time agonizing over whether or not I could afford the Kindle Fire deal that... it's already sold out. This might not be a bad thing.

Or you could just use eMule, like discriminating child porn consumers who eventually get arrested and written up in our newspaper.

Cano's next contract must include provisions for five strippers, four wives and three amigos.

Why would you have to run different ads if the Yankees win or lose? Either way, they still suck.

They serve a good purpose, though. Think BSG would have the same impact if they tap-danced around real profanity? Instead, they make up a word, use it as a swear, and since it isn't actually a curse, they can use it with impunity on basic cable.

I go triple-speed on mine, except for music ones (which play at normal speed). Then again, I also need that many, as I have 66 active subscriptions.

I still can't believe one of my friends actually had to ask why this dumbass's offer to patrol campus was racist.

It should be standardized. It just seems that burner accounts are gimped in the beta version of Kinja, in that they can't even include basic HTML. The full version has a different way to format comments, and burners can do everything a normal account can do.

Since basically every job I've applied to lately asks for one, yes.

Only one Gmail account, no POP/IMAP access (yet), and no one actually knows if you'll be able to have multiple accounts without paying an annual subscription? I find this hard to recommend at all, no matter how pretty or elegant it might be. The concept of add-on apps is nice, but that's nowhere near enough to…
