Yahoo! Mail removes ANY storage limit

Google better follow suit soon: Susie's at 98% and I'm at 92% full... Yes, that means I have received (way more than) 2591 MB of email since 7/4/2004.

Jib Jab skewers the news business in this video clip

It's to the tune of "Battle Hymn of the Republic" (with the lines "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord ... His truth is marching on." -- appropriate in this context!)

The Doc Searls Weblog: How to Save Newspapers

I think a lot about how to save newspapers, and though everything Doc says has been said before, I bet in a lot of cases it was him saying it the first time, too. It's good advice, and it pains me that newspapers just won't do things differently.

Can you go without computers for a day?

PMachine changed its name today to EllisLab

I'm disappointed in the change -- EllisLab sounds a lot less corporate than pMachine and I fear it'll be a harder sell to my clients. What do you think?

Overheard

“The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.”

...who said it?

“Almost every American I know does trade large portions of his life for entertainment, hour by weeknight hour, binge by Saturday binge, Facebook check by Facebook check. I’m one of them. In the course of writing this I’ve watched all 13 episodes of House of Cards and who knows how many more West Wing episodes, and I’ve spent any number of blurred hours falling down internet rabbit holes. All instead of reading, or writing, or working, or spending real time with people I love.”

...who said it?

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”

...who said it?

“I play with variables constantly.”

...who said it?

“Only the person who has learned Continual Love coming from a heart of Gratitude/Worship can effectively deal with the problem of loneliness.”

...who said it?
