Three Extra Copies of Windows XP

Less than one week left!

In general it's not a good idea to hotlink other people's images on your web site. There are all the standard reasons: the ethical dilemmas of stealing somebody else's bandwidth, the copyright violations, etc.. There's also the completely practical reason: the danger that they might get mad and swap the image out from under you and make you look like a fool.

For example, consider the following MySpace user. He's apparently interested in AC/DC, Metallica, and stealing pictures of other people's laptops:

Search Engine Keyword Hits

In this year's search engine results I was finally able to overcome the end of false religion is near with searches for my name. The results also reveal growing interest in the zeitgeist with iPhones, GTI iPods, and broken Rock Band drum pedals.

Bugs, cereal bugs and bugs in cereal also made a big showing, and if combined would beat out searches for me.

Another interesting hit is 8bf3a13b - people are still searching for this, and I'm surprised that the answer hasn't been widely posted on the web yet.
