BAD SITE: www.PartyTentCity.com

I’m almost ashamed to even highlight the PartyTentCity website on Uncover the Internet, but it’s like a bad car crash, you can’t turn away from the horror of it all.
The top design is bad enough you think. Text ads everywhere, but you’ve yet to scroll down and see the other 98 “sections”.
I think there […]

Yahoo! Photos Shuts Down

Just received an e-mail from Yahoo! letting me know they’re shutting down the Yahoo! Photos service. They are of course migrating everyone over to your choice of options, with the obvious encouragement to choose flickr.
We will officially close Yahoo! Photos on Thursday, September 20, 2007, at 9 p.m. PDT. Until then, we are offering you […]

Emperor Palpatine Accepts Collect Call from Darth Vader

Alert: A few choice words in the dialogue. Some bleeped out.

This is perhaps the funniest Star Wars video I’ve ever seen. It keeps disappearing from the net and getting taken down but hopefully this one will be up for awhile.
The video was produced by the folks at Adult Swim.
Technorati Tags: Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, adult […]

New Version of PayPal in Beta

PayPal has been the de facto standard for online payment methods since I’ve been on the Internet and needed a way to pay people. Originally I used it for paying for items I’d won on eBay, but now I use it for payment of client invoices and even donations on some client websites.
I noticed today […]

Yahoo! LAUNCHcast Offline Today

In our office we keep LAUNCHcast humming all day listening to music to keep us active and motivated with different channels at different points during the day. We’re listening to it now, specifically the “Victor Wooten Fan Station”.
I just received an e-mail though stating they were taking LAUNCHcast offline today in protest.
Apologies to anyone who […]

It’s Officially Summer - NO SWIMMING

There’s probably something technically wrong for me uncovering something on my personal blog, but I just posted this picture I took and thought you all might enjoy it for the humor factor of it all.
Anyone else find this as funny as I have every time I drive by this particular corner in Anderson, IN.
Do […]

innertube Helps You Catch-up On Your CBS TV Habit

I’ve been really enjoying CBS’ innertube service. I had used it in the past to catch up on some of CBS’ most popular TV shows that I failed to TiVo, but now you can pretty much find any program you want that appears on CBS now.
This weekend I’ve been using the site to catch-up […]

New Version of Plaxo

I was pleasantly surprised this evening when I logged onto Plaxo to grab a friends phone number and saw a message about getting a preview of the beta version of their next release.
I went ahead and moved forward with switching to the beta version and testing things out and I can tell you that […]

Yahoo! Mail Offers New Embedded Yahoo Messenger

Taking a cue from Google, Yahoo! is now offering embedded IM capabilities with their Yahoo! Messenger client within the Yahoo! Mail interface.
It’s a really nice implementation in my opinion. Very clean and the obvious integration is nice.
I’m just wondering though if this is the potential cause of some of the problems Yahoo! and their […]
