What's next for Google Maps now that they've added Bicycling Directions?
What they totally need to add is Walk of Shame directions… it would figure out the shortest, least visible route home!

Has anyone else noticed these UI updates to bookmark menus in Google Chrome? I’m running 5.0.342.1, and the changes are a very recent addition.
AFAIK, as of a week ago Chrome used standard Mac system menus (or at least close approximations) for the bookmark toolbar menus. Now they seem to be using these bastardized, overly-stylized, next-to-useless excuses for menus.
How many problems exist here? We can begin with:
- fixed width, so most titles are cut off (very useful, I enjoy not being able to read my bookmarks)
- centered text (just makes the menu soooo easy to scan)
- no arrows next to folder items (sure, let’s break Mac UI standards just for the hell of it)
- non-obvious highlighting (awesomely subtle outline replaces standard system color)
What do we gain here? My authoritative list includes:

Of course, The Daily Show nails Chatroulette (and Brian Williams and Keith Olbermann were both hilarious)!

The precious commodity that we, as publishers, have to offer advertisers is the attention of our readers. Web page views are a terribly inaccurate, if not outright misleading, metric for attention.

This is one of the funniest SNL sketches I’ve seen in a long time. Just the idea itself is hilarious, and the execution is superb (the ending is meh, but the first 3/4 had me howling).
And Sudeikis’s character (and pants)!

That’s as far as I got before I realized I have to work today.
Wouldn’t it be rad if work was thinking about things like that? I guess on a good day it can be, but more please…

Writers tend to work early in the morning, or late at night, when brains are naturally able to focus deeply on one thought. In the middle of the day, distractions are unavoidable. I wonder if anything worthwhile has ever been written in the afternoon.
