Recovered from the Wayback Machine.

I went searching for anything of news to post here in the Bb Gun, but all I kept thinking as I reviewed the stop stories is: God, I’m bored.

How many times must Niall Kennedy change jobs before it gets to be old news?

ValleyWag hires Beth Gottfried as writer/intern, and she does a good job on the now-infamous Through the Green Background, Web 2.0 blogumentary.

Sigh. It’s all so innocuous.
