Eric Newman: How to ask for help on the web, the bad way

Something in internet land directed me to Steven Hargrove’s page on status 301 redirects, which we use at work. The real story here isn’t 301 redirects. No, the undercover awesomeness here is in the comments, when Eric Newman begins asking for help.

Steven Hargrove: How to redirect a web page, the smart way:

“and i know the source is correct because it gave me a source to use and it looks right to me i know this program works because i see other web pages work and it specified that windows xp can work which that is what im using (professional)and i talk with other people and they have no idea on this and i have one more question what is redirect web page mean im makeing pages from a web program called “web page maker v2″ i put the source to use the program after i create the page and i know i told where to look for it to”

Also:

“Please answer my question Mr.Hargrove i need to know and i have one more question to ask how do i get a sponsorship because i need a bigger harddrive,fast internet,some connections, and a pro of doing this business thing so please tell me i know i sound desprite sorry.If this will make you feel better i will have a link to this site.”

Ah, if it were only so simple.

The Mighty Power of the Feed

After not publishing for approximately forever, Fafblog is back, and I only knew because I was faithful and reverent and had it in my bloglines.
Fafblog! the whole worlds only source for Fafblog: After the end of the world.

“Albatross or not albatross?” says me.
“Hmmm… albatross!” says Giblets.
We reach in the ol cardboard box an pull out a rusty coke can. “Not albatross!” says me.
“This is stupid!” says Giblets. “Albatross Or Not Albatross is the lamest game ever!”
“Now to be fair it was a lot more excitin back before we ran outta albatrosses,” says me.

It only gets better from there. Fafblog is the thing on the internet most likely to cause my actual real face to have an actual real smile on it.

NYC: The mirror collapses but the image does not

This post from three quarks really captures the difference between the nyc I seem to live and the one people see.

When I first told my dad I was moving to manhattan he was worried that the city would eat me up. I got here and was impressed with just how easy and safe it all was. In my years here I’ve only had two things stolen( three if you count the bike tires separately) and they were mistakes on my part.

Check it out.
