Plutor saved a copy of boston.com's new 404 page. It's OK, we can laugh now, right?

I thought for one second I had stumbled onto a local version of Buzzfeed. You know, USA Today for hipsters?

Thanks for my new catch phrase to describe BDC.. :)

I often refer BF to "Quasi-News for the ADD crowd"

headlines on BDC since the format change, I don't even consider them to be providing "quasi-news" anymore.

But tens years of living in Title Town has banished those demons forever. When you can cheer the Celts tanking and shrug at a 6-9 Sox start, life is good.

A great band called The Baseball Project (featuring REM member Peter Buck on bass) recorded a song called "Buckner's Bolero" on their 2nd album, Volume 2: High and Inside which tells a compelling story of "that game." If you're a baseball fan, you need to check out this band. Members of Young Fresh Fellows, REM and The Dream Syndicate. There is some smart song writing on their three albums.

Whoever has run the longstanding gag Twitter account about the travails of an elevator at Morrissey Boulevard apparently punched somebody's buttons today when he or she tweeted something like: "The new boston.com design is a lot like me - it doesn't work."

First that tweet was deleted (I saw it, didn't copy it down, then it was gone, so I'm paraphrasing, now the entire account has been sent express to oblivion.

Somebody forwarded a screen capture of the tweet that sank the Elevator:

Before I would check boston.com once in a while because it had some light news of interest. Once in a while. Now the page layout server seems to be blocked by my company firewall. The list of trusted sites is provided by Microsoft - plenty of small bloggers have figured out how to get their URLs on to the list. You would think the Globe could do the same. Certainly there is never enough on boston.com of interest to motivate me to figure out what is blocked.

If you're looking for the Boston Globe, its www.bostonglobe.com. Boston.com isn't the same thing as the Globe.

It is the same organization. They even post handy links to bostonglobe.com stories on boston.com telling you you need to signup.
