The blue guy with the big teeth is more cute than frightening, but there's another reason to run for safety if you see this sucker turn the corner. Guess who's driving it? Hint: the answer is NSFH — not safe for highways.

Maybe we'll write less than 10 Facebook-related posts today — but I doubt it. (Ed's. note: Don't you have a post about Facebook to write?)

That bastard did what to whom?
NICK DOUGLAS — It's springtime for Hitler on the Internet as erupts (okay, continues as usual) in war. Let's run through who's been stomping on whom (MySpace on Photobucket, the rapaciously opinionated blogosphere on Kathy Sierra), and whether any of the aggressors have been brought to justice.

Valleyspeak — the jargony language of Silicon Valley that no one ever asked for — sounds particularly silly when it's used for anything social. Just think of the way techies think about relationships — "friend list," "people aggregator," "instant-messaging buddies" — and it starts to sound like the way clinical autistics describe relationships.
