For the car geeks amongst us
Jan. 6th, 2009 11:28 amI really love my car, but I've found something sweeter (and SFW, unless your boss is anti-Sound of Music):
(the engine, complete with timing belt, is really the win here)

Time to jump ship before it sinks?

dragonvpm: LJ slash'n'burn. Nice of our Russian overlords to not mention any of this to us - oh, wait, they didn't leave anyone behind who *could*. . .
ETA: The math in that link is wrong - they cut ~2/3 of just the US tech folks, not 2/3 of the entire US staff, meaning ~12 of 28 jobs were lost not 20 of 28. It's still a pretty bad sign, particularly with nothing coming from LJ itself to confirm or deny any of this to us users. Here's cNet's article.
ETA2: LJ has made a press release that says pretty much nothing (certainly it does nothing to resolve the question of how many were cut). They couldn't even be arsed to send out that bit of palp to users?

The First LJ Panic of 09
Jan. 6th, 2009 07:04 pm(What, you think there's only going to be one? This is LJ!)
A great post that has actual information in it (e.g. not only numbers but the identities of those who got some terrible news today) and seems to be updated regularly: A sad day for LJ
