Making Up for Lost Time

Well dangit. I was on vacation, and it has been two weeks since I've posted here. Allow me to do a super-quick link roundup of what I missed in the past week or so:

First and foremost, I missed the internet's birthday. Will it ever forgive me?

Wired published a great article on social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace-- is their private nature slowing down the progress of teh interwebz?

Gmail has a brilliant campaign going on right now, and they've extended their submission deadline. Hurry up and look!

Maybe we ought to spend less time labeling our parental styles and more time actually parenting.

Naturally, I take a week off and suddenly printers don't need ink anymore.

A 17-year-old girl overdosed... on espresso. No one has blamed it on advertising yet, but give 'em some time.

Finally, Charlie points us toward this sigh-inducing article about Second Life-- "Does Virtual Cheating Still Count?"

...Maybe I need another week off. (Thanks for everyone who flooded my inbox with fantastic links, and I apologize if I didn't credit you!) What else did I miss?
