• I will REMOVE the fucking toilet seat if you don’t shut up@Everything2.com
  - This rant isn’t due to the fact that I am unwilling to help women with this admitted deficiency. Rather, I find it infuriating that because women are seemingly unable to check to make sure that the toilet seat is down, they take this anger out on me. It becomes my deficiency, I am less of a person because I cannot remember to put the seat down/lid up.
• Soldier’s Mother “Ecstatic” about Obama’s Bracelet
  - The mother of a Wisconsin soldier who died in Iraq says she was “ecstatic” during Friday’s debate when Senator Barack Obama mentioned the bracelet she gave him in honor of her son.Jopek says Obama’s comment rightfully suggested there’s more than one viewpoint on the war.

Wal-Mart Gives Consumers Number 1 Reason Why DRM is Not the Answer - ReadWriteWeb

Yet another good reason to avoid DRM.  I predict that we will see a lot more of this in the coming years.  Do yourself a favor, and buy music you can use, wherever and whenever you want.  There are plenty of sources for DRM Free MP3s, most of which are cheaper than the DRM versions offered elsewhere.  Look at Amazon, eMusic, and some iTunes music for starters.

Customers of Wal-Mart’s digital music service will be in for a big shock very soon, just as Yahoo Music customers were. Wal-Mart has announced that they will shut down their DRM servers on October 9th. What does this mean for Wal-Mart digital music buyers?

If you have purchased protected WMA music files from our site prior to Feb 2008, we strongly recommend that you back up your songs by burning them to a recordable audio CD. By backing up your songs, you will be able to access them from any personal computer.

Home Brew, Junk Yard Ale

Just cracked open the first bottle of Junk Yard Dog IPA.  I’ve had it conditioning in the fridge for 2 weeks now and thought I’d crack one open for a taste.  The carbonation is pretty light, much like a Fat Tire, but it doesn’t taste flat at all.  It has a strong hops aroma and bites a little at the start but finishes clean and smooth.

The recipe recommended 6-8 weeks of conditioning, so I’ll give it another try in 3-4 weeks and see how it’s doing.

Update on the Aftermath

I’ll be heading down to Galveston in a week or so to help family clean up.  If you are in the area and want to sweat your ass off in a mold and mud filled house, gimme a holler.  I can hook you up.

• Best SEO Blog
  - And each sub-folder could potentially be further sub-divided. Don’t be afraid to do this. Don’t agonize over how far away from the root URL any particular folder or page is. That’s amateurish search optimization because, frankly, it doesn’t matter how many folders deep your content goes. All that matters is how many clicks it takes anyone (or any robot) to reach the content. Folder depth does NOT equal click depth.
• Best folder hierarchy for SEO? - WebProWorld
  - Your directory structure does not affect your PR or pages' rank. Organize your documents in a logical manner that will make your life easier when operating the site.

  And using directories is good for SEO because it allows you to get keywords in your URL which is helpful.
