I'm down to rant -- why the fuck is it that I can never just watch one video on youtube anymore? When the fuck did that happen? Autoplay is some kind of default now, and it's never autoplay that's actually helpful. I fucking hate it.

Wow, your going to hate when each share of the hubwheel shows you a 5 second ad.

Check out google drive.

It'll take you five minutes just to figure out where your folders are.

For an idea of what kinda person my sister is, her entire workflow is based in Google Drive.

Yeah, I don't know why I talk to her either.

Is it a bad thing that I find it very useful? I don't know what to say other than its a really smooth transition between laptop, print stations and phone.

Saw that -- last week maybe. They gotta let me opt out.

Let me know if you've figured out how to make them honor my "fuck no I DON'T want the new google maps style EVAR " request. 'cuz they're ignoring that too.

Funny you mention that. Last night I spent WAY too much time reliving the whole Jay Leno vs. Conan O'Brien episode because of an "auto play" situation. That said, it was incredibly intuitive and seemed almost chronological. It was like watching a documentary on the subject.

What I can't believe is that I still need to borrow b_b's cable provider and login to watch the NHL playoffs!!

You watching?

I get Blues updates via the Cardinals' announcers, always happy for 'em. The two teams seem to be friends with each other.
