A list of Five potentially novel new year’s resolutions, from 5ives.com
- authentically behave as though you’re living in an unending Ronnie James Dio song
- renounce thermodynamics as prideful conceit borne of modern secular culture
- eat only animals that have appeared in Richard Scarry illustrations
- lick unused cutlery whenever people aren’t looking
- finally finish building backyard shrine to Karen Black
See you in 2008.
In case you haven’t heard, Digg, the link submission site full of Kevin Rose’s self-important wannabe BFF’s is up for sale. As far as I can tell (and admittedly, I am a light digger at best), ad revenue is Digg’s main source of income…though the user base doesn’t seem like it would be the most welcoming to potential new owners, particularly new owners who would be hoping to leverage the right ads against Digg’s traffic base in order to see some ROI from their purchase.
When one digger recently posted a link to Business Week, discussing a possible sale, the first comment was fitting, and seemed to sum up how those in the ad business view the average Digg user. IE, anti-web-commercialism, and ironically uninformed (Google is the web’s largest ad company, no?).
But, it is the new bubble, so someone will no doubt scoop up Digg, along with it’s jack-ass user base, for some nine-figure sum, and we’ll all see what happens from there.
Good luck to whomever buys this one, you’re gonna need it.
I’ve had this track from The National burned in my head all day long. I must have listened to it 10 times in a row on the way home tonight.
This is damn near a perfect song. Great voice, fantastic lyrics, and just a hypnotic pace. My favorite song of the moment.
