Happy holidays to everyone who is part of the PK.com readership. It gives me great pleasure to know you derive the same from my hobby — even you Red Sox fans who keep coming back even though you know the next Aaron Boone reference is only a week away.
To those who have been nice this year, I hope Santa treats you well. And for you women who've been naughty, please Instant Message me and let me know when you'll be in town.
In a week, we'll usher in a new year. I'll be posting before then, but it's never to early to measure what's important and what's not. We're a year older than when 2003 began. Here's hoping we're all a year wiser.
Today's Web Finds:
• What a Crappy Present — Why you shouldn't give kids CDs for Christmas.
• Porn Titles For 2003 Movies — It's only a matter of time before Bruce All-Tighty hits the gay porn shops on Christopher Street.
• Top 10 Web Design Mistakes for 2003 — Web usability guru Jakob Nielsen makes like Joan Rivers. His findings are applicable mostly to e-commerce sites because (everybody, now) that's where the money is.
• SmartMoney.com's Tips on Holiday Tipping — I know it's late, but the guy who wrote it is a good friend. He says you should give $10 to $20 to the trash collector. And who the fuck might that be?
• Fark Photoshop Contest: TIME Person of the Year — Some humorous alternatives to the nod that went to the U.S. soldier. Back in 2001, I said to a friend that the only reason Rudy Giuliani was POY over Osama bin Laden was because TIME was looking out for its bottom line. Then he reminded me why the Person of the Year issue exists: to increase the bottom line. At the time, TIME managing editor Jim Kelly said Bin Laden was "too small of a man" to be named POY, and that has proven true.
• Brooke Burke's New Photos in Stuff — And some web exclusives: more ass shots.
happy holidays to you too Paul :)
