Random Things

Part I: Of Things Internet

So Facebook has updated. And by updated I mean screwed things around so royally that now even the creators of Facebook have thrown their hands up disgust and wandered out of the room.
Now we have MiniFeed, a device so useless that it can only be described as... well... useless. As Robert so eloquently stated, "Oh right, I can only have eight quotes but MiniFeed can take up 40,000 square feet of real estate."

The worst aspect of the whole MiniFeed fiasco is that, when Facebook pitches the idea of MiniFeed to you, it gives you the option to select Awesome! (and yes, the "!" is actually in the select box) or... well, nothing else, really. Just Awesome! So let me get this straight, Mr. Facebook, wherever you are. You're going to arbitrarily upgrade yourself, and then, instead of allowing your subscribers the option to not take the upgrade, you're not only forcing them to accept it, but they have to be excited about it.

Part II: Of Things Athletic

So a full week of college football has come and gone and we found out some interesting stuff this weekend. We learned that neither Florida State nor Miami actually recruited an offense this season. We learned that UGA and Iowa are both capable of beating up on Div. I-AA schools. And we learned that Notre Dame can barely beat a bunch of pests from Atlanta.

The NFL starts officially this Thursday. So I guess its prediction time for both the College ranks and the Sunday players.
