The MST3K ship sails again…now called Cinematic Titanic

If you’re a fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and have been living under a rock the original cast of MST3K is doing a new thing. Same idea, same people, different title. Cinematic Titanic.

Check it out.

Nice copy of Yahoo there AOL.com….

I love using AOL’s radio website. The player has a fantastic lineup of channels to listen to and the sound quality is wonderful. I never look at the AOL.com site for the most part. Until tonight.

The only thing I can say is damn. How much more obvious do they have to make it that they’ve totally poached the UI from yahoo.com. NOT only that website but AOL’s webmail client is almost a direct rip of the new Yahoo Mail UI, but it’s uglier.

At least AOL didn’t copy Yahoo Calendar (which is awful these days) for their own web calendar. They poached the UI from Google Calendar for that ;)

“Learnings” is not a word!!!!

I keep coming across people using “learnings” as a word in documents. Here is an example (scroll down to the bottom and you’ll spot it). Just a note for the incompetent: “learnings” is not a word. Go look it up in the dictionary…I dare you. See what comes up? “Learning”.

If you want to sound like Borat then keep using “learnings”. If you want to sound competent try “lessons learned”.
