In case you experience any issues on my blog today, I’m in the process of messing with some stuff, so that’s probably why. Please e-mail me or try back again later if something doesn’t work properly for you.
Update: OK, things should be mostly OK for now. There’s still more to do (gallery and some more style stuff, but everything should be OK functionally for now). I’ll explain more later.
Now this is amusing, a feedback item received at dslr:

A google search on the domain (removed from the text) provides a usenet full of their spam, comment spam all over weblogs and well, if they don’t want a link then my mother is a turkey! (sorry mom).
Obviously geared at websites with hope the owners will fall for it and write a “Haha, look at these idiots, they don’t want a link” article with, of course, a link.

I’m sure most of you have heard this story by now, but in case you haven’t the main point is that the family of a marine that was killed in Iraq is trying to get Yahoo to give them the password to their dead son’s account, for the sake of basically getting his “last words”. They are trying several angles, but Yahoo’s position looks pretty solid.
Here’s why I support Yahoo on this:
This started as a comment to Dan’s post here; so read that first if you want the context of this response.
Actually, this is probably the best way for them to go. The current iTunes model won’t hold up too much longer, since even at $1 per song, people won’t continue to pay that much forever, so they have to come up with another idea.
Flat-rate subscription is the in thing right now; it’s been around for a long time in things like cable TV and internet service, and is now becoming popular with other consumer media products (video rentals specifically, with NetFlix & Blockbuster online). Read More
Word on the street is that the next great way to get rich quick is cashing in on well timed currency trading, Euro fluctuations, etc. Given the significant amount of spam I’ve received on this subject, I’m inclined to be skeptical of this whole thing.

… after that opening sketch on SNL I just watched.
This is another one of those things that I hear people talk about often, but I don’t really see the point. I prefer to have everything in it’s own window, so I can cycle through them with ALT+Tab. I know there’s a similar shortcut for cycling through tabs (CTRL+Tab in Firefox), but I don’t want to have to think about whether I’m switching within the browser or between applications and use a different keyboard shortcut for each. Man, I can be picky.
