This is what I see when I try to log in.</p> <p><a href="http://www.imagechicken.com/viewpic.php?p=1224900326070836000&amp;x=jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.imagechicken.com/vi...</a></p> <p>Nothing. During this period when Uber says it desperately needs us to post, it posts a notice that it is moving "to a new home", and then takes our sites offline for what has been a few days, now, with no timetable given for coming back online. They almost seem determined to self-destruct.</p>Ex Nihilo / Joseph DunphyFri, 24 Oct 2008 22:10:47 -0000http://laughingsquid.com/google-psa-encouraging-young-americans-to-register-to-vote/#comment-2837488<p>That closes on something that comes uncomfortably close to being a call for a chain letter, at least as it sounds to me. Pay it forward might not be a bad idea in the real world, when it's practical, but I wonder if one might want to be a little careful about encouraging it online.</p>Ex Nihilo / Joseph DunphySat, 04 Oct 2008 05:25:40 -0000
