AOL Drops Backing From Film For Lack of Product Placement

“AOL Drops Backing From Film For Lack of Product Placement!” is playing over at the Drudge Retort. It’s about that film “You’ve Got Mail”. I love writing fake press releases and news articles.

Zero time

An interesting thought, courtesy of PeterMe: Why does time start at 12? Shouldn’t it start at 0? 0 o’clock, 1 o’clock, etc. instead of 12 o’clock, 1 o’clock, etc.

It’s a similar problem to the first year’s start date…it started at year 1 instead of year 0. Except that years don’t loop back on themselves as hours do, so instead of 1=0 when dealing with years, 12=0 when dealing with time. Weird.

Still gainfully employed

My first day at work today. Woo. No computer yet, but I hope to have one in the next day or two. Everyone seems pretty cool. I haven’t determined yet if it’s going to be really intimidating working with actual designers or really fun and educational.
