Yelp Hit With Extortion Lawsuit For Allegedly... →
*Big Long Sigh*
I knew it would come to this eventually. As a former employee, I am pretty sure Yelp will beat this one, but even so, it gets to the core of one of the reasons why I left: by not focusing enough on public perception of issues like these, Yelp is doing irreparable harm to their own reputation, regardless of the truth. Eventually no one will trust the reviews on the site enough to...

I spend a lot of time thinking about how to get rid of things in my apartment that I don’t need anymore. The problem is, most of it is stuff that I’m pretty sure no one else needs, either, just junk that I have accumulated over the past 10 years. I don’t want to just throw it away, I just want it to disappear. I would pay for someone to come over to my house and weed out all the...

Java-Log →
Fireplace logs… made out of coffee grounds? Claims it emits up to 78% less carbon monoxide and up to 66% less creosote than cordwood fires. I bet it smells pretty damn good, too.
YEAH WHATEVER, I TOTALLY PLAYED THE FRENCH HORN
kellydeal:
Because when it came to my grammar school’s “bring your kid to pick a band instrument night” my parents totally. would. not. let me play drums.
So, my interest in the French Horn came next because it was the really weird thing none of the other kids had any interest in.
Anyway, it’s been years but if anyone’s going on a fox hunt soon, let me know, and I could probably pull together...
