I saw this on Little Green Footballs and I had to repost it here:

Cracked-dot-com :: Six New Personality Disorders [taken over by] the Internet

I say, “taken over by” because these are already existing DisOrders that have just manifested themselves anew in Internet Culture.

It has been awhile since I’ve checked the news of my favorite topics, and I learned that I found some new ones.

Check em out!

As you may recall, I take an evening “hike” on Tumamoc Hill a.k.a. “The Deathmarch”. Anyways, I’ve been walking this hike 2-3 times a week for almost two years now, and I’ve gotten in the habit of parking in one of the parking lots of the local doctor’s office complexes around St. Mary’s Hospital.

Granted, there are various “No Parking” signs around, and I was blatantly disobeying them. And for the past two years, it has been a case of “No Harm No Foul.” Especially since, the offices close at 5:00 PM, and the Deathmarch opens at 5:30 PM. So the lots are vacant between 5:00 and when the offices open the next business day.

Until this month.

The history of every major galactic civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry, and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why, and Where phases. For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question “How can we eat?” the second by “Why do we eat?” and the third by “Where shall we have lunch?”.

I was in a conversation, yesterday, on the subject of politics, and I made a pretty clever business analogy.

I don’t know if Cisco remembers the first Retailers conference we attended, because he was probably hiding from weird vendors. But there was a couple who were giving some interesting tips for Small Business Owners, and Retailers. Some of it was basic, and some of it was quite insightful.

Looks like the technology issues were not resolved, as Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com was down all weekend.

We’re back now, but I’m not holding my breath.

When I first moved to Arizona in 1996, I learned about the great weather Tradition of the Monsoon Season, where water seems to fall from the sky and floods the desert in proportions which are unimaginable. And when you thought the signs warning about Flash Flooding were a sick twisted joke, your compact car is trapped in a wash up to its roof and you are being towed out like a tourist.

When I first learned about the Monsoon, I was instructed that the true start of the season was measured by levels of humidity, temperature, and barometric pressure, then followed with measurements of rainfall. But most importantly, the dew point is the official factor in announcing the Monsoon.
Like an Indian Summer, there has to be an extreme change between two conditions.

But, I’ve learned this year that the “Start of Monsoon Season” has been re-invented, and its a mistake, in my opinion.

The system was down, yo.

No word yet on the cause, but at 3:30 local time, the webhost for Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com went down and all the sites I know that are hosted by it were not available.

As of late this morning, the site returned.

But we’re feeling much better.

I saw this news on a Talk Radio Blog, and I didn’t believe it, so I looked it up on Google and found an Arizona Daily Star article on it:
Operation WULF (Would U Like Fries) to sniff out impaired
So the Pima County Sherrifs will be undercover in Drive Thru restaurants looking for DUIs.

I hope no-one asks to be “Super Sized”.
