I just snuck the weekly links in this time. I have been getting in the bad habit of being overly tardy with posting this feature - something I am going to have to nip in the bud from this point on. This weekend was highly productive and I got to spend some quality time on the blog and other online-related doodads. This upcoming week should be relatively quiet in terms of work, meaning it should be pretty active on this site.
Lots of good stuff on the horizon. Keep an eye out for it.
Enjoy the links.

23.05.07 4:28 pmWhat do you expect, Wild Guess? PJ is obviously raising the standards for his link descriptions after such a harsh criticism on certain repeating words. The Alabama comment is dead-on accurate and brutal.
Speaking of words, I love this sentence written on the NIN website:
“As a reward for stealing Year Zero, we’ve prepared the next batch of multitrack audio files for you to download.”
Note the word “stealing.” I love it.

23.05.07 4:37 pmWild Guess & Kellie - After much typing and even more use of the delete key, I have decided to refrain from commenting on the Alabama subject. All I will say is that I made sure to added ‘no offense’ in that sentence.
That is all.

24.05.07 9:11 amStating “no offense” does not mean that none will be taken. Kellie, get over my criticism of PJ’s use of the word, “very”. PJ obviously has. No Offense.
