Not surprising...

CANTON, Ohio (AP) -- Google users looking for directions to the city that's home to the Pro Football Hall of Fame have been getting maps for "Colesville," Ohio, not Canton.
Google Inc. says people first started noticing and complaining on Friday about the naming error, which was still not corrected as of Tuesday morning. Elaine Filadelfo, a spokeswoman for Mountain View, Calif.-based Google, says the Web-browsing giant hopes to have Canton's name fixed within days, once several programs are reviewed and revised.
Filadelfo explains that the mistake was made last week when Google did some updating of its maps.
There is no actual Colesville, Ohio, though maps issued by the governor's office show the state does have a Colebrook, a Colerain and a Coletown.

I don't care at all about Canton, Ohio, but I do care about the fact that Google Maps has sent me to the wrong location more than once. Too many to count, in fact. So has MapQuest. This is a problem because, you see, I was a championship map reader. I have a long-sleeve t-shirt to prove it. Unfortunately, Google Maps and MapQuest have waged war on map readers, making us the VCR to their DVD player. We're forced to use their sorry ass directions to look "hip" or "with it." This is only a minor slap in the face - when the directions are right. But try explaining yourself to your co-pilot when the directions take you to Wisconsin instead of Chicago. It's nearly impossible. "NO, I swear! I AM a championship map reader! I'll show you my t-shirt... Oh fine, you don't believe me? Well that's just great. Get yourself to Schaumburg then!"

Have you seen this show?

Have you seen Glee? It makes me smile. I haven't watched this week's episode yet so quit trying to spoil it for me. I can't yet put my finger on why I like it so much. It could be that I wish I could sing. Because I do. Wish I could sing. But, I think part of it is the way the show is written. It's clever. And it combines all of my favorite things about musicals into a TV show. It also takes me completely away from anything that may be wrong at any one time. Anyway. Watch it. DVR it. Whatever.

Ready for a change

My friend Jessica gets to work from home. There's not much I wouldn't do to have that opportunity. You see what I did there? That's a double negative. I mean to say, I would do anything to work from home. I would even video chat with this guy.

Okay, so I say I would like to work from home but I'm sure I would go crazy in a very short amount of time. I would, however, like to have unlimited amounts of money so I could make my house look like this.

At the bottom of this link-ridden rant is a tired newsie. I work really hard all week, keeping my mind active and my eyes searching through endless press releases and news articles to make sure that I don't miss anything. Then I take all the information I've gathered from my humble desk and I'm charged with telling everyone about it. All the while dealing with tempers and egos and a personal life which I rank above everything, and I mean everything. Meanwhile, I'm trying to not get fat because I sit down all day.

Just sayin'. I'm ready for a change.
