Mary Rambin, banner designer, donned her Authentic New York City outfit to go visit the Michelin Men:

See my smile? Totally fake. Well, that’s an exaggeration. But I feel like I’m going to hurl all over the back of this cab the way this driver is weaving through traffic. What a weakling I’ve become!!

Decked out in a standard NYC outfit – black black and mor black – I’m headed uptown to meet with the men from Michelin who are responsible for the guides.

I sort of forgot she was going to be in town again, but yeah, here she is in NYC doing business lady things in her NYC clothes and she actually looks decent enough that I have nothing bortchy to say. Why is she in town, anyway?

Breaking news: tumblr has already been up and down again today. Is it because Marco has grabbed all the rum and jumped off the sinking ship?  Of course not. It’s because tumblr is so good at load handling!

Our servers are over capacity and certain pages may be temporarily unavailable.  We’re incredibly sorry for the inconvenience.

At least they are sorry. And hey, they ARE trying to find a new sysadmin to play foosball with while these errors happen!

Systems engineer

An architect who isn’t afraid of impossible challenges — or is afraid and will prepare accordingly.

What you’ll do:

• Architect Tumblr’s rapidly growing infrastructure
• Design and deploy new data centers around the world
• Diagnose and repair network, application, and hardware bottlenecks
• Tune network, hardware, and software configs to maximize performance
• Deploy and manage monitoring and diagnostic tools
• Guide our product team to keep new features fast and stable

What we’re looking for:

• Experience scaling high-traffic web sites
• Experience administering multiple Linux servers
• Smarts, humility, and equal willingness to learn and teach

If you have a tumblr, think Meaghano is awesome, like 500 dollar skinny jeans and cycling through trends faster than toilet paper, apply today and help the team figure out how cloud computing works so I can get back to posting memes.

Megatits McCain, “writer”, is wrapping up her book tour. To celebrate, she got back to cranking out her Daily Beast column. First topic? How crazy popular she is, but not because anyone cares about her. The blurb states:

When Meghan McCain went on her book tour she was amazed to find that the media was completely obsessed with her—and that Palin wasn’t too pleased with what she wrote.

I don’t know about you, but I actually do notice what’s going on with Megatits, and all I saw were some PR arranged appearances on various shows to promote her book and a couple of magazine spreads. I didn’t see any evidence of some nationwide hysteria over this omg rebelpublican. Megatits herself can’t seem to accept that nobody is interested in her or her stories about herself in her book – people just want to talk Crap about Sarah Palin.

Backstage at most shows, I would beg producers to keep the Sarah Palin questions to only a portion of the interview, instead of dominating the whole conversation. I found myself fighting to convince people interviewing me that my book was about things other than Palin and interesting for many reasons…

The fact is, no honey, it’s not. You are the privileged child of a politician, recounting your boring tales of the typical “problems” (you ‘almost’ overdosed on xanax the night before the election, attention whore) of a typical adult who grew up in the public eye. Nobody cares. We want to know if you have stories about Palin getting drunk and shooting bottles off the bumper of the campaign rv, not about how you felt neglected while daddy ran for pwezident.

Are women only interesting in today’s political discourse if they are Sarah Palin or Sarah Palin impersonators (no matter how bad or poorly knocked off the impersonation is)? Is this it?

I thought two years after the election there would be something or someone more interesting. But there isn’t, and now the question remains will there ever be?

I guess Megatits doesn’t pay attention. It’s all about Christine O’Donnell now, girl!

Meghan continues blabbering about how she doesn’t want to talk about Sarah Palin, because everyone just cares about Sarah Palin, and Megatits is more interesting than Sarah Palin, and she is tired of talking about Sarah Palin. But hey, seems ole Meghan got the message – if you want us to listen to you, drop yet another half assed “revelation” about how much Sarah Palin dislikes you:

Then just as I reached the point where I woke up and elected to stop focusing on the media’s obsession with Sarah and to continue my own one woman revolution (if you will), Sarah Palin made it known to me via an email to a third party that she was not pleased with me or what I wrote in my book.

Ok Meghan, listen: people want to know if your mom is really a pill popper. Folks want to know all the smoke filled backroom spinning by the campaign team, all the weird habits and offhand quotes of the candidates, we want DIRTY. Throw some real mud, or just call your book “I Talk About Me Because I Want Some Attention And I Love Budweiser!” and be done with it.

Sarah Lacy, the gentle natural way to fall asleep, is tired of all the hubbub over that whole “Arrington like totally getting a bazillion dollars for his blog” thing, and wants you to know she can pull an accomplishment out of her ass too!

will any companies give cancer research a donation if i shave my head? can i get a lock-sponsor?about 12 hours ago via web

@boblesko says he’ll give $10k to cancer charity if i shave my head and put pic as twitter avatar. anyone else? can i get $50k for charity?about 9 hours ago via web

Look honey: we get it, you’re sitting in a conference and you’re bored, and Sklarge gave her hair to charity, and hey, you have a book to promote. It’s great that you are giving your mangy mop to a good cause, but maybe think about it a bit before you  start cracking jokes about older cancer victims not wanting your grey hair.

The good news is you know a lot of rich people with nothing better to do with their money than throw it at a tax write off finance your bid for attention. The bad news is nobody else really cares.

Meaghan O’Connell, hairless ewok, evidently has this motivational fortune cookie tucked into the door of her kitchen cabinets. Notice anything? Not if you’re Ginger Midget!

Don’t lie. You guys would stand in front of your sink and stare at this every morning until you believe it, too.

I would stand in front of my sink staring at “into” with growing irritation, but I’m kind of a pedantic bortch that way. But hey, glad it makes you feel good, midge.

Twitter COO Dick Costolo will be taking over so that Ev can concentrate on product strategy, saying he is “most satisfied while pushing product direction.”

Whatever, new twitter is still ugly.

Nick McGlynn, of the sex tape McGlynns, set lady hearts pounding in LA with news of his arrival. I finally got a chance to harass him today and confirm he will in fact be continuing to host Obliterati, despite my fears that such a rich source of lols was lost to the west coast. That’s right girls – Nick will now be available in two cities. Take a number now!

What’s next for Nick? Raging success as an event photog? Becoming the pool boy for some aging movie star? Waking up on the beach with sand in his pants and his wallet gone? We await further news.
