Dooce is back. Her most recent How to Annoy Me post made me laugh out loud.

Also, I didn’t know before today that the term dooced is in the Urban Dictionary. Sometimes I wish I were that popular, but then again, it would mean having to read and manage more email. It’s too pretty here to do that.

Though the same can’t be said of Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist. According the a New York Times article, he does not get out much. It has been four years since Mr. Newmark, 51, took a day off from sitting at his computer admonishing spammers, scammers, ne’er-do-wells, meanies and others who would demean or pollute the community that bears his name. This innovative form of advertising and sharing information remains free of banner ads, popups, registration forms, and fees (except to employers). He also intends to keep it simple and has not been lured to sell out for lucre.

And today is Google‘s sixth birthday. I like Google for many reasons, such as their innovative search development (images, news, Froogle), the fact that they out-perform all other search engines I’ve ever used, and their really nifty doodles.
