Kicking CAPTCHA and Improving Online Ad Experience - in One Fell Swoop?

Not a bad idea. It solves problems today and is an example of solid thinking. What risks there are, the gains are too good not to leap in and find out. (As long as I don't end up typing BUY R0LEX WATCH $99.99 thirty times a day. That sh!t would be wack!)

These People Frighten Me.

...and what websites were those? DJFetishJockey and LonelyGirlsClub.com?

Democracy's Trendy with the Tech Elite

Websites that've playfully reminded me to vote:

Facebook, right in the header.



Google AdWords -- in the Campaign Management dashboard.



MySpace, between pages. This is actually an interstitial ad for E-Research Council, but still.



Meanwhile, traditional media entities like PBS have partnered with Google to make this year's election the most transparent ever. Got a mobile cam? Covertly video your experience at the ballots. Twitter and My Fair Election are also using crowdsourcing to police the polls this year.

Other sites jumped the gun: betting destinations cast lots for Obama, and even Facebook Lexicon "suggests" (eh, I'm iffy about this) an Obama win.

We'll know in 12 hours.

What's Your Incontinent Underpants Style?

The above Target ad recently appeared on my friend's site Girls are Strange, shortly after she blogged about her newfound talent for changing toddlers' diapers without yakking.

I think it's brilliant. Not just because each one of the "incontinent pants" look the same. Something about the way they're rumpled in front strikes me as genius.

God Has Called You

...and from MySpace, no less.
