One of my pet peeves is new product X is announced in a category where product Y is predominant, and the headline reads "Y killer X announced". (PC World is especially bad for this.) Thing is, X rarely ever kills Y - no matter how much endless hype it gets. Sometimes X isn't even meant to kill Y - they're designed to solve different problems, and fill different niches (The columnists hyping X are always disappointed later when it doesn't kill Y like they said it would - obviously they know better than X's makers what it was supposed to become). To anyone who disagrees with me here, please announce Let's Call it Bob as a Z killer in whatever medium you have access to, where Z is your favourite website - obviously, because its on the Internet, and has content, it can replace any news or opinion site, and the availability of comments makes it capable of killing any social networking site.
Thank you very much for reading tonight - we now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

A blog. Named Bob. That clears things up.
About this Blog
Its named Bob.
The titles only describe the posts half the time.
I write about whatever strikes my fancy - usually its pretty random.
The title is from Titan AE, an animated sci-fi movie from the mid-ninetys, which is also awesome.
What more do you want? The answer to life, the universe, and everything? (It isn't 42.)
