Random Link(s) of the Day, courtesey of bad_service: Overstock shares fade as CEO warns of 'drugs or dead body' caper, and Overstock.com enters the Twilight Zone. I quote: This latest round of gaffes adds to a tradition for [Overstock.com CEO Patrick] Byrne that includes admitting that he lied about being gay and a coke-head to financial analysts and initiating a program to uncover a "Sith Lord" seeking to ruin Overstock.

Okay, normally I get annoyed at people who misspell my first name in e-mail, because ITIS RIGHT THERE IN THE ADDRESS! Also, I sign my e-mails, dammit, take the three seconds to actually check your gorram spelling! But in this case, I'm letting it slide, because this person (who I am in touch with several times a month!) has "Frank Janssen" in the Name bit for all e-mails she sends to me. Like, my e-mail address, completely different, male, name. WTF? Did I grow an ePenis while I wasn't looking?
In other news, I completely suck at leaving concise, non-rambling voicemail messages for people.
