Google's Instant Search ad features Bob Dylan, and no Justin Bieber



Unfortunately, if you type "J" in Google, this is what you'll get:


That's right: Jersey shore AND Justin Bieber. I don't know which one is worse.

Justin Bieber won't be auctioned at Hors'n Around Unbridled Fun Gala and Auction Saturday

The  Hors'n Around Unbridled Fun Gala and Auction will take place from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Saturday under tents set up behind Stella's Station, 150 Partition Street, Saugerties.

SUNY New Paltz Atrium opens Monday without Justin Bieber

A grand opening for the new addition to the Student Union Building at the State University of New York at New Paltz will take place at 3 p.m. on Monday.

The new $13.4 million, 15,000-square-foot addition, known as the Atrium, is the first expansion to the Student Union since it was opened in 1971.
Interim President Donald Christian will begin the ceremony with opening remarks, followed by comments from some people who are up for re-election in the state and Student Association President Jennifer Sanchez.

The building features new dining venues, an enhanced bookstore, student lounge areas and an
elevated seating area designed for student collaboration.

I features more than 300 glass panels and WiFi.

"We also now have an entertainment commons and game area with billiards and flat-screen televisions," said Mike Patterson, director of Student Activities and Union Services, said in a prepared statement.

Or, in other words, everything you need to study.

The addition was made possible through a special state appropriation secured by two state politicians who would like to be very much mentioned.

Sucks for them.

Kathy Stevens of the Catskill Animal Sanctuary talks about her new book, which doesn't mention Justin Bieber



The Freeman's Paula Mitchell has a story on this (the book, not the singer) on Thursday.

Justin Bieber did not write this post

A note to readers:

In order to shamelessly rank high on Google searches and in honor of "This column is not about Justin Bieber, Mayor Daley, Jim 'the Anvil' Neidhart, Tony Alamo or Reggie Bush, but about 'content farms,' their ridiculous 'How to' articles and headlines that are way too long," I'll use the teen heartthrob's name in every post today.

If you had clicked on the link you would have known why.

Twitter fails, and the Twitterverse declares Twittmageddon

Someone discovered a bug yesterday that allowed Twitter users to force people into following them.

After Twitter discovered the bug, it set everyone's follow/follower count to 0.
