Different Website, Dear.

On the web boards of a "free stuff" community, there was a link posted to a giveaway that wasn't supposed to be live yet. They found it, people went, the company realized it, and the company quickly password-protected the page to keep people from accessing it.

Comment: "This ask for a "user name" and password, and when I put it in, it would NOT accept it. What do I need to do??"

Oh, honey.

Good Podcasts

Here are some podcasts I've enjoyed recently.

Escape Pod - EP216: βoyfriend
A touching, humorous, sweet-but-not-saccharine story about how an artificial intelligence that really loved you would act.

Radiolab - Sum
An odd, dryly humorous observation of one's life unrolling before one's eyes--after death.

Hearing Voices - Nine to Five
Segments of interviews with people whose jobs are stranger and more interesting than mine, in unexpected ways.

Drabblecast - Clown Eggs
Nature, red in tooth and claw. I can't really describe this--but it's worth listening to!

And best of the lot--Escape Pod - An Almanac for the Alien Invaders
A deceptively detached, thought-provoking view of an alien invasion unlike any that I've ever read before.

Ninja Desk Kitten
