Dave Winer has been in the news once again this week, so I went searching for a nice picture of him on Google images. Imagine my surprise when I found this on the same page. It doesn't really relate to much (like you were expecting what???), but I thought I'd stick it up here, if only to take the curse off that ghastly Melanie Klein cover. And the U2 thing kinda sucked too. Not to mention that fucking chocolate cake (which did, however, net me a very nice paypal contribution from the Land of Wagner, so it looks like I'll be eating for another week or so). Yeah, this is pretty much how they all look out here in the West. Gets a little boring after a while.

"Hey, I know! Let's go rope some steers!"

But not one to be easily dissuaded (ask anyone), I kept looking for a picture of TA Dave W that might somehow connect to the rather surprising news swirling around him this week. Finally, my persistence was rewarded when I stumbled onto this...

Some unfortunates were not aware until as late as Tuesday afternoon that their blogs had suddenly evaporated. Of these, several were not half amused.

Dave? Yeah, it's me. Hey I can't seem to reach my weblog. Is your server OK? ... You did what!?!? Dave, you know I've always been nice to you and made allowances for your severe personality disorders and the fact that you could drop dead any second from one of your not infrequent apoplectic fits over, as far as I can see, approximately nothing. But Dave? You really are an asshole. I want you to know that. And a fuckhead too, yes. just wait, Dave...
