Some fairly random Saturday thoughts...

Slashdot | Announcing Slashdot Subscriptions Didn't it occur to Slashdot that it's subscription service hurts the users who use it the most. The ones who made Slashdot what it is? Slashdot is a site that has been created by its biggest users. To create a subscription system that makes your creators pay doesn't make a lot of sense.

Speaking of things that make no sense at all. Tombstone advertising in the U.K. They pay for your tombstone so they can advertise on it. Leave it up to the marketers to take bad taste to an all time new low.

Please Explain this Jacob Shwirtz asks the questions that need to be answered in this great post. What were they thinking when they made this... Jacob has really cool blog. You will want to blogroll on it.

ThomasPacheco.org I know I am link bombing Google but this site is worth it. The site sells art to help Thomas Pacheco to cover costs that his health insurance does not while he is getting cancer treatment. If you have a blog or a page, dust off your link canons and add a link to the site. Thanks to Gary Turner for letting me know.

Burning Question
Most of you know that I am a big Calgary Flames fan. The question burning around the league is will the Calgary Flames keep probable league MVP Jerome Iginla? This isn't about just Calgary but influences the Mike Comrie's, Markus Nasland's and other young stars playing in Canada. Will Canadian teams become the Montreal Expos on the National Hockey League. 2004 (collective bargaining agreement expires) can't come soon enough.
