Remainders: It doesn't help that the ads sell something called "iLoad"
- New York-based e-mail startup Daily Candy gets a sweet deal: an investment valuing the company at $130 mil, which lets the company take down its "For Sale" sign and get back to the important business of making urban women feel inadequately shoed. [Gawker, link being fixed]
- So some big-city bloggers had a party for Six Apart's new Vox blogging service, right? And some guys sat in a hot tub on the roof? And probably someone called this the bubble? Hon, it's not a bubble until what's in the hot tub can get you drunk. Anyway, click through for topless shots of Gawker Media managing editor Lockhart Steele. [Teen Drama]
- Damn it, Gawker's stealing all the tech news today. As our catty sister notes, the New York Times is proud to name-drop Dodgeball.com founder Dennis Crowley, the man responsible for every New Yorker and San Franciscan constantly updating their friends on how drunk they're about to get. [Gawker]
- Pictured: The Times also uses a photo illustration to remind everyone of those wild days of free drink coasters for all. [NYT]
- Mooching off the "Get a Mac" commercials: You can make a clever parody or a creepy knock-off ad. (Please make the parody.) [iLoad]

Lazy news: New York Magazine finds the Internet again
Readers of the New York Magazine (ones who don't read Slate, the New York Times Styles, Forbes, the San Francisco Chronicle, or Wired) now know there's a boom on. Writer Kurt Andersen spends three pages (well, the last page is two lines, like the last page of a dictated-length term paper) telling the same story as the other papers, but with the cluelessness with which the New York media glitterati always approach the Internet. It's like seeing USA Today redo a trend piece, but without the humility. So spare yourself the read and use the Valleywag Lazy News Edition. More »

WWW Dodgeball glamour shots
Oh, they badass. Matt Spangler from thehappycorp sends photos from the WWW Dodgeball Tournament (if you can dodge a VC takeover, you can dodge a ball), mercifully leaving out the action shots. More »

Google hottie bats for the other team
The co-author of the hot new lez-lit handbook, Same Sex in the City: So Your Prince Charming Is Really a Cinderella? Yeah, she works for Google. Gawker alum Choire Sicha says Lauren Levin's bio calls her a "top ad-sales junior executive at Google," and I'll take his word for it. (The bio's nowhere to be found on the web. It must be on paper somewhere.) More »

Silicon Alley is back, decided the New York Times, and it's edgy. To prove it, the Times opens with the story of a dot-com poetry slam where one schlub fails to impress:
