Microsoft Shoots Own Foot In Iceland

What's odd about this:

The original link (to a very obscure blog) was mentioned on Reddit last week.

I blogged it on Sunday night. Then, about 24 hours later, David Gerard sends the
same link to Slashdot, and it gets posted to the front page.

Maybe he read Reddit, maybe he reads my blog (and in which case perhaps I should
use it to criticize him more!), or maybe he saw it elsewhere.

If anyone cares, mebbe we could wager on where he saw it.

Your blog looks like it was designed by Homer Simpson, and the lead image really isn't funny for people who have been to a Target before, as everyone knows that's the cart pusher entrance.

Anyway, I'd guess that freak reads your blog.

Please don't think I'm out to "influence" or "entertain" people with my blog.
It is mostly for me to vent incoherently. Plus it's a place for my millions of
enemies to post death threats if they wish (they are too cowardly, it seems).

The ugly, barren look is intended to mock most blogs,
with their usual mess of ads and sidebars and dreck.....

If only I could make it uglier, while still keeping it quick-loading.....

I do not dare read your blog. So I'm glad he made it the news of the day. I found it on Slashdot.
