Miscellaneous Post #2

I'm sure y'all have seen Sorry, Everybody, an absolutely brilliant idea for personalizing the giant numbers from the last election. It's just pictures of normal people with signs that say "sorry." (This website started out with one picture, just one, and then got endless submissions and 50 million hits in the last two weeks, and you just picture the folks who started it scrambling for the resources for that website, you know?)

And Sorry, Everybody accepts picture submissions from around the world of people accepting apologies, but some folks decided that wasn't enough: Apologies Accepted, full of pictures from Netherlands and Malaysia of people who say "it's okay." The only problem is that, unlike Sorry, Everybody, they don't seem to screen the pictures, so there's a lot of little jpg notes that lack people in them, and I think the people are the most interesting part. Also, it means that there's an occasional "yah, those Kerry-voting bastards should be sorry because they want the terrorists to win" or whatever.

( N.B.: There's also a hell of a mess of a site at werenotsorry.net... )

Also, I want this: Buffalo LinkStation. Wantwant. I mean, external hard drives are neat. Networked external hard drives that are also printer servers? Mmmmmm.

Also, my new favorite "hey, random!" icon, from the user-interests icon meme, by miggy. Because llamas!
