PayPerformancing: Oh wait, nevermind

NOTPayPerPost's acquisition of Performancing that was supposed to have happened last week isn't happening after all. That's right, they decided not to go ahead with it. Gee, um, why don't you your research before even announcing something? PayPerPost was unethical, now they are just plain ridiculous. I am glad Performancing is not going to be picked up, for their sake, at least not by PayPerPost. This doesn't happen very often, at least that I hear of, but it seems like somebody wasn't thinking very clearly before this deal "went down." Both sides (it isn't all PPP's fault) should have inked it before it was made public and official. Now, I don't own a start-up or anything, but I consider this be to in the realm of common not-so-common sense, don't you?

PayPerformancing, the acquisition

PayPerFormancingThe first thing I thought when I read that PayPerPost would acquire Performancing was "oh great." I am not a huge fan of PayPerPost and their less than ethical way of doing business. I wasn't happy about hearing that PayPerPost will acquire Performancing. You know, the site that is all about helping bloggers succeed? You'll be happy to know that despite this acquisition going down, the Performancing blog editor Firefox plugin many of us wear out daily, will be spun off into a new brand so that it isn't sullied by the likes of PayPerPost. Yay for democracy, or some kind of illogical sense on someone's part. I am sad now, I liked Performancing, the company and the plugin just the way it was. That's life though, right? To PayPerPost, I still am not a fan, but congrats on the nice acquisition of a great blogging company, please don't screw with it too much, m-kay?

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
