Roundup Thursday for the Week of 3/16/08

The author's views are entirely their own (excluding the unlikely event of hypnosis) and may not always reflect the views of Moz.

Sorry this roundup is delayed. I had the damn thing about 60% completed earlier today, but then Mel brought in a pig full of beer, which we proceeded to drink during lunch. A couple of glasses later, I returned to my desk and inadvertently hit whichever combination of keys on my keyboard is the equivalent to the "Back" button on my browser, thus losing my post. After work, I went to the liquor store (wow, all this talk of alcohol sure makes me look like quite the drunkard...) and, after making my purchases, was prevented from entering the store's parking garage because two car thieves were getting busted by four squad cars' worth of police officers. Then, once I finally started to hunker down and get some work done, Jane distracted me with something horrible. Thanks, Jane.

To summarize, beer pig + crime scene + Jane's deviousness = delayed Roundup Thursday.

  • Hey, Matt Cutts is doing link bait! And I just...linked...to it...ah, damnit, he got me.
