More Global, uh Cooling News?

This article Bad news for Catlin Expedition: Satellite Data Shows Arctic Cooling in February and March really ticks me off. I just wish the earth would make up it’s mind.

Dude! Pownce!

So I wake up this morning and I’ve got a bright and shiny Pownce invitation in my inbox.  Cool.  Now what?

Pownce is kind of like twitter, right?  I also have a twitter account, but I never use it.  Apparently twitter is one of those extremely useless, highly addictive things.

Anyway, I have 6 invites.  Who wants a pownce invite?  I’ll warn ya’ though, it’s gonna cost ya’!  Ha ha.  How about a link exchange?  You provide a link on your cool, hip blog read by thousands of actual people to my uncool blog read by, well, actually I think even the spambots have stopped dropping by.

People hate comment spam, but I actually kind of liked it, because they were just about the only comments I was getting.  It made me feel a little less lonely.

Anyway, if you want an invite, leave a comment with the link to your blog. Maybe I’ll be in touch.

UPDATE: Oh yeah, I guess I left out this part – pownce.com/thedonkey is my address.
