Meebo Me!

For the past year and change, I've been using Meebo as my chat client while I'm away from home (read:at work). I think it's a great service, and I love the fact that it has a chat archiving option. That way, I can log on at home if I needed to go back to a conversation for, well, anything I wanted to look at again. That has come in handy for me a few times.

Meebo has also developed a widget for websites called "Meebo Me". I knew about this a while ago, because my sister has used it on her site for some time, but I never got to experimenting with that myself. Well, those days have changed! As you can see on the main sidebar, I have added the Meebo me widget. If you see me on, drop a line and say hello. I'd love to get some feedback on future posts, which will be coming, gosh darnit! I'm determined to make something of this blog, and I have a few posts lined up. Now, I just need to motivate myself to sit in front of a computer long enough to type them out.

If you have a site and use the Meebo Me widget, what do you think of it?

The Facebook Redesign, from a German's perspective

I was amused, at least by the initial comment.

Promises, promises (aka Excuses, excuses)

I've been quite the busy lady lately. As I remarked to a friend of mine the other day, normally you think about the summer as a time of relaxation. I've been bouncing around like an ADD pinball on Red Bull and cocaine. At the same time, I've been having equal amounts of stress and fun. Okay, perhaps more fun, but the stress always comes first and can take a while to get over.

What the heck is the point of all this explaining, you ask?

As you can tell, my post count is still pretty low. I do intend to do something about this. But as I'll be away for the next few days, I can't guarantee any uptick in posting until at least next week. From there, I'll be working on a few topics I have lined up in my queue. Everyone will be happier for it.

Justice

Justice is definitely one of my new favorite bands. This song is probably one of their most addictive, and the video is just freakin' cool. Watch, be amazed, and D-A-N-C-E!

Excuse me while I barf.

Who in their right mind would name Chris Martin, of all people, a rock god???

I don't mind much of Coldplay's music (though for me, it seems to be "the earlier, the better" in my book), but for the love of anything holy, don't dub Martin or the band any kind of rock royalty for their ability to sell records and fill stadiums. They're following the formula, not experimenting and trying to change it.

I get this sinking feeling that Coldplay's trying to be U2 on top of all that. Please, we only need one of those around. Really.

I think I need to go to the bathroom and lose my breakfast now.
