Blogthings

The only Internet content I love more than Tales of MU and webcomics is blogs. I am nosy by nature and inquisitive about life experiences that differ from mine, and, much like the webcomic list, the content and ideas in the stuff expressed below will probably appear contradictory. Some of it may offend you. Do not assume that some of it doesn't offend me, too, or that I agree with it all...but these are the blogs I look at of people I don't know.

Services & Stuff To Play With

Everything isn't about retail. With that in mind, check out these services and see if any of them might be right for you. Pope Lizbet tested and approved, and most of them are free.

• NEW! Catalog Choice lets you opt out of unwanted catalogues in order to save paper and reduce the amount of junk mail you receive. (It's free.) Go! Stop the onslaught!

Curiously, despite that boring description, it has the highest Quotient of Cool of any business I've ever known, both in terms of the people & what they do. Seriously. Whether your mailing list is fifty or fifty thousand folks, you need to check out Emma. Or just go read their staff page, because the descriptions are hilarious.
