it seems like web-based-operating-systems (webOS, webtops) are beginning to become more popular. two posts from frantic industries lists 20 webOS’s and what they do/what to look for. personally i remember i had hosted eyeOS some time ago and i used goowy back when it was in its infancy. neither were particularly helpful, though the idea of hosting eyeos still appeals to me somehow.

Trying to clarify the lines between funny and tasteless, the language log has a comic reversing the roles of sexuality in comedy. Unfortunately for them I don’t like it when people define life in terms of sexuality. Straight or gay, life is too broad, big and important to be characterized and subsequently (IMHO) pigeon holed by defining one’s life simply by sexual orientation, race, or creed. But rather defining it by comics and video games, that’s OK by me.

Finally, I hate taxes and so should you. A simple flash interactive of a gorgeous information visualization poster shows you why.
