Madison Avenue's Mania for Metrosexuals Misplaced (Oct 17 2003 01:36 GMT) - George Simpson writes in MediaLife about Madison Avenue's ridiculous pursuit of the so-called "metrosexual" saying "A metrosexual is nothing more than a guy who finally figured out he'd get laid a lot more with a haircut, clean fingernails, his shirttail tucked in, and thus empowered, able to entrap dates in his apartment by cooking them meals." He says Madison Avenue has forced us to "endure this fiction that metrosexuals are an important new marketing niche squeezed, tweezed and teased somewhere between gay men, and the "hysterical heterosexuality of tits, beer, sports, cars, and fart-lighting."

Open-source FTP client (Oct 17 2003 01:34 GMT) - I stumbled across FileZilla the other day. It's an open-source FTP client for Windows. While I use tons of open-source software on Linux, I've rarely been impressed by open-source Windows software. This is an exception - it's fast, reliable, and user-friendly.I'm finally dumping the buggy FTP client that cost me $30 - FileZilla has a few features it lacks, such as a keep-alive feature that works and a nice download queue, and I haven't found a bug yet. |
