Someone broke her crown . This is the foursquare version of the fail whale.

Having problems with Gmail? I am too, there appears to be an outage right now.

Update: 4:32pm EST – Looks like it is back up

So continuing on our theme of junk mail. The US Census bureau sent me a letter telling me I am going to get another letter, specifically the census forms. This just seems like a big waste of taxpayer money, especially for a government who is in debt. Thankfully the census is only once ever 10 years.

I got a letter in the mail today from Netflix. It says they missed me, and I should come back and try their service again. It came with a 2 week promo code and everything. The only problem is I am already a member of Netflix, I have been for over a year. Netflix even shipped me a movie today. I just went and double checked online, and yes my Netflix account is still active, and I started an instant stream just to make extra sure, and yes it does work. Netflix stop sending offer letters to existing customers, use the money instead to go buy another movie to put on instant streaming.

I have been using Redbox a lot recently. I went to return a movie yesterday, but it wouldn’t let me. It said that the kiosk was full, and that I should come back later or try another Redbox. There seems to be something wrong with this process, because if I return the movie the next day, I get charged more money, sure it’s only a buck, but I should not get charged if I tried to return the movie and Redbox wouldn’t let me.
