Back in August, I entered a contest on BoingBoing to win one of three computers HP is giving away. The contest lasted 1 week. Around 20 people entered. My odds of winning aren't bad. I'd guess 50/50 based on the number of entries, number of prizes, and the quality of the competition. But the people at BoingBoing running the thing haven't gotten around to declaring the winners. They even said recently that they would announce them last Monday, but never did.

So I could contact them to bug them, but then if I bug them, they will surely not pick me as a winner. So, as per the rules, I just keep going to the contest site to see if I won, because if you don't respond to your winning notification within 24 hours, they give the prize to someone else. I've been going to this stupid page every day for almost the last 2 months to see if I won. It's getting to the point that it's just not worth it.

I am so freaking tired of people saying "Bert and Ernie."

I have yet to find one person besides my brother who agrees with this, but:

IT'S ERNIE AND BERT. ERNIE AND BERT. ERNIE AND BERT.

The county is trying to assess us $9 an acre annually forever for cleaning a ditch that will do absolutely nothing for our property

Incredible.

What do they want to do?mow? How many acres? What's their problem? Is it tall grass next to a highway? Shouldn't that be their job?

My company changed insurance again in the beginning of October. Not a big deal except for higher co-pays and prescriptions.

However, the specialty pharmacy I have to get my one medication from is fucking around and I'm already overdue for it. First you call the doctor and have them fax the prescription. Then they have to check with the insurance company to see if it's covered. Then, they find out that it is covered, but they need a pre-authorization or some shit from the doctor.

See, we don't need health care reform (ie: government run health care)...we need INSURANCE reform.

Not that I give a big rat's ass, but that's what they're hoping for.

I just noticed it today. I'm like "where are the quotes, the reviews?" but now everything is all jumbled up so it's one long page. I think the whole thing looks horrible, especially the cast or movie list: it's like someone's high school Web Graphics project.

I'm glad it's not just me.

Oh God, they changed IMDB ???

Why do they change stuff?



I think I know the answer: they force you to look around for the features you use, and hope you'll stumble upon other features you've never used or known about before.
