Less Social Life=more blogging

So, many of you are probably myspace users, with different degrees of frequency, but regardless of the frequency you're probably aware of the fact that there about a million technical issues with it. I had assumed that these were mostly database and server problems since the load time on pages is waaaay longer than what it should be for pages that are relatively simple looking. Well, the web developer in me decided to play with my page a little. At first I was using one of those engines that creates the code for the page, then I realized that I get paid to do this sort of thing 5 days a week for another site, and that I have the ability to figure this out on my own. Wow, do they have bad front-end code too. It made me cringe. You'd think with the popularity and the fact that it is now part of a huge company they'd be able to hire a few decent developers to bring the code up to standard. Just awful.

A myspace question for females. What is the most common ad you see upon login? Guys seem to get a "True ad which usually contains a half naked model which makes True seem like it is a hair's breath short of a porn site. I find it amusing.

Random poll: Which do you find more amusing. A UPS ad that uses The Postal Service as background music, or a Mercury ad that uses a band called Morningwood. I'm partial to Morning wood, but that's just me.

Also of note: While watching Countdown with Keith Olbermann tonight, I noticed that two of the top three "Newsmakers" where mentioned on Deadspin today (the Bears fan changing is name to Peyton Manning, and the Chinese inability to hire a good translator).
