I get to work the overnight shift at work for the next few weeks, roughly 10pm to 6am. So, not only will I have zero human interaction at home, but now I’ll also have zero human interaction at work, as I will be the only one in the building.
Now if I was hosting a late-night online radio show, that would be fun. I could also take callers and get to actually talk to people for once.
Oh no! Gmail went down! The world almost ended today. Guess what; My gmail was up and running all day without a problem. Take that, nerds. Your web likes me more than it likes you.
And even gmail didn’t work for a couple minutes, you know what I would do? I’d f*cking deal with it?
I hate web 2.0. Luckily, I’m already into Web 4.0.

TechLunch.com– We’re hearing reports that AngryKen.com, the blog-like site that was once entertaining, has been holding a severe round of layoffs that is reducing its workforce to only a fraction of its former size. It seems that most of the cuts consist of Angry Ken’s minions and sandwiches - unpaid employees who actively monitor the site to pick out the best crap and ensure quality control of user submitted nonsense.
According to our tipster, these layoffs have been long expected - it was simply a matter of when. Angry Ken’s budget cuts have extended to dinner, and rather than reduce the pay rate of management, Angry Ken has simply downsized its more expendable content control team.
Angry Ken uses this team to differentiate itself from sandwiches, which don’t advertise an active role in the editorial process and tend to sometimes display stories of lackluster quality. The budget cuts may save money in the short term, but in downsizing its editorial team, Angry Ken is making itself into even more of a hoagie clone.
Angry Ken has had a tumultuous history. The Internet initially launched the site as a “sandwich killer” at AngryKen.com in December 2005. A little over a year later, there were rumors that the site was being shut down in part because of domain disputes. The site was finally moved to the valley.
Update: Ryan Budke, AngryKen’s Program Manager, responds in the comments:
“Well, as Angry Ken’s Programming Manager and the one who runs the aforementioned team, I can say these reports are being blown a little out of proportion. We did let a few sandwiches go, but it was 4 out of about 35, so that fraction we were reduced to is roughly 9/10ths.”
Budke also says that while the Sandwich team has been substantially downsized (only about 2 people are currently working full time as sandwiches), this was a result of gradual attrition, not because of budget cuts.
You know, if you have a time machine, you should share it with the world and not hold on to it for your own personal gain.
Take Hollywood for example. For years, filmmakers have been going into the future to steal ideas from movies that haven’t even been made yet; like when Stanley Kubrik traveled through time and stole The Simpsons‘ idea for The Shinning. He changed one letter in the title and thought he could get away with it. Let’s also not forget Ghostbusters, a complete ripoff of The Frighteners starring Micheal J. Fox. Star Trek?. There would have never been a Captain Kirk without Captain Picard.
These Hollywood con artists need to be more creative and stop keeping time-travel technology from the rest of humanity.
