Google Plus+ Invitations

Image representing Google as depicted in Crunc...Image via CrunchBaseGoogle is betting that its new social network, Google+, will fix what it calls the "awkward" state of online sharing--but Google isn't sharing invitations to its latest project with everyone.
Users have been clamoring for invitations to Google+, which Google launched as a limited "field trial," noting "you may find some rough edges." Access to the project is currently by invitation only, and a limited number of users were given 15 invitations apiece to bring others on board.
If you're eager to begin trying out Google+ and can't find someone with a spare invitation, you can sign up to request a Google+ account here. Google has created an entry form that asks people to submit their first name and email address so they can stay posted as the service is rolled out more fully. "We’re still ironing out a few kinks in Google+, so it’s not quite ready for everyone to climb aboard," Google wrote. "But, if you want, we’ll let you know the minute the doors are open for real. Cool? Cool."

Father's Day June 2011 - Sh*t My Dad Says Canceled

One would think that, if a network television show based on someone's life was just cancelled, that someone might be very upset. Of course, when that someone got the TV show because he didn't care about things like TV shows, the reaction is a little bit different.
Justin Halpern's Twitter sensation, "" Shit My Dad Says", first became a book and then, incredibly, a sitcom on CBS starring none other than William Shatner as his cranky, tough talking father. When he got the news that it was canceled after one season, he called his dad to tell him. His reaction? Hilariously typical, according to the transcript Halpern later posted to his blog.

Here's an excerpt:

"You didn't know who it was and you answered the phone with 'Hey. What do you need? I'm busy?," I asked.
"Let's people know not to f*ck around with my time," he said.
"My show got cancelled," I said.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line and I wasn't sure if he heard me. I was about to say it again, when he spoke.
"Well. F*ck. Sorry to hear that, son."
