You buying a used Lexus? I don't think Lexus uses that marketing campaign anymore. The specific commmercial you refer to either on purpose or inadvertantly is for an older model lexus. The new models have different themes and commercials.
Is it God? Please, please, please let it be God....but, i hope it's the one true Christian God and not those - Hindoo Gods...who seem to be everywhere these days. What with their Yoga and vegetarianism and Goldie Hawn and Richard Gere!!
ps - I pray it's not that Allah dude either.....he is always so angry.
My guess: Sepia Mutiny was sold to a magazine/newspaper. New York Times bought Freakonomics blog. The Atlantic bought out M Yglesias and others. I wonder what magazine/newspaper would want this blog though.

FaceBook has just been valued at $20 billion (via the Microsoft minority stake) and following that news SM has been valued as anmol by some MSM or MS software/Media co??
Sepia Mutiny's orbit around the Earth will position it between the Sun and North America on Monday, blocking the Sun's light. At that time you should not observe Sepia Mutiny directly, even with sunglasses! Use a piece of cardboard with a hole cut in it to read Sepia Mutiny's shadow on the sidewalk.
Let me guess. NASA declares that they have proof that WE are the Martians. Life on planet Earth was first implanted by invading Martians, and therefore we are all decendents of these ETs. I wonder if Charles Darwin is turning into his grave!! Or may be - and I am dreaming - Abhi is going to propose someone on the SM !!!
$15 billion or $20bn its all the same, I purposely exaggerated to show my opinion that this valuation may be high. AMZN's market cap is $36 billion after being in business for so many years and FaceBook by swapping pictures is worth half that, sounds a little incredible.
By the way, hillside, nice utter neglect of proper comma usage to demonstrate your mad writing skillz.
Nothing screams "I am qualified to express an opinion as a professional writer" better than screaming "I am qualified to express an opinion as a professional writer," after all.

You cannot be serious Chocolat. Those fighting the good fight cannot be bought!
I think posters should be forced to register with SM, then fill out an intricate profile replete with highly detailed biodata. I'd like to see how I stack up to other posters in this regard as I've actively been working to damage my marketability for the past 10+ years. The blank spots in my resume reference various periods spent contracting scabies in LES Anarchist squats. Top that!!
Wow, congratulations! "SM: The Musical" is a fantastic idea, and I think it was a long time in the making. The true victory will be when the Bollywood adaptation is under production. Naturally, starring the "SM: The Blog" cast as the heros/heroines.
Your torments call us like dogs in the night. And we do feed, and feed well. To stuff ourselves on other people's torments. And butter our plain bread with delicious pain... Funerals, marriages, lost loves, lonely beds " that is our diet. We suck that misery and find it sweet. We can smell the young ulcerating to be men a thousand miles off. And hear a middle-aged fool like yourself groaning with midnight despairs from halfway round the world. (IMDB)
Fuck yeah I would eat the moon! Ribs are sooo good. I have fond childhood memories of getting ribs with my dad and eating them at home.
Which reminds me, I am in India right now -- and you see chickens, goats and cows running around eating garbage on the streets and grass that grows right out from sewage ditches. Then people eat the chickens/goats and drink the cows milk!
In the US I have been told that chickens are fed chicken feed etc. and I guess they are no where near sewage or garbage so I guess it is better to be a vegetarian while in India.

Whatever it is, it's probably related to the News and Events tabs - because Chaitan is shutting them down for 'maintenance' tonight. I'm guessing/hoping we'll have (i) reader ranking of news stories (ii) lifting of the 100-word limit to (say) 250) words (iii) - a combination of the first two - to effectively have reader-submitted 'posts', that are also ranked by other readers.
The ranking is computed in real time, but each IP can vote only once on any post. Also, no IP can submit more than two posts during any 24 hour period that begins at midnight EST. Every eight hours, the top 5 ranked posts move to the top of the News Tab. Any reader who consistently produces top ranked posts in the News Tab (e.g., gets in the top 5 for more than 15 days in consecutive months) will be invited to consider guest blogging for SM. To counter the inherent non-judgementality of SMers (aha!) which would manifest itself in a reluctance to rank posts - the number of clicks a post gets - normalized for IP, so only one click per IP would count - can be used to reality-check rankings.
I suggest that if this algorithm were coded, and implemented over the News Tab for the past six months, KXB would naturally emerge at the top, double-validating his guest-blogger status. Also, KXB, when are you getting yourself an avatar ? :)
Heroes is more comic book than it is sci-fi. They try to emulate that old school comic book feel where it is a little too much good versus evil and a little too unrealistic.
Hey Abhi - what's cookin dude? ;)
Whoa!!! It took me a while to make it out. Congratulations.
When did it happen?
аналитика.
Badmash? Why haven't you been blogging dude?
Google ads? :)
A wicked blog redesign?
You going to the moon?!!!!
does sunny leone work for wicked pictures?
::gasp::
You buying a used Lexus? I don't think Lexus uses that marketing campaign anymore. The specific commmercial you refer to either on purpose or inadvertantly is for an older model lexus. The new models have different themes and commercials.
Yoda stamp?
No. Leopard.
You're guest starring on Heroes?
New website design :-)
The great India melodrama in action. Blog update time!
Something related to HEROES ??
:-S
puli runs naked down 5th avenue like lady godiva? wait...that has nothing to do with SM. thats just a normal weekend plan around here.
Live interview with Barack Obama.
Didn't lady G. ride on a horseback? It was Protima Bedi who ran naked on Juhu beach. ;)
Don't think Puli doing either would be a sight to see
you know you want this
ok..i would need to jack a police horse first....
Is it God? Please, please, please let it be God....but, i hope it's the one true Christian God and not those - Hindoo Gods...who seem to be everywhere these days. What with their Yoga and vegetarianism and Goldie Hawn and Richard Gere!!
ps - I pray it's not that Allah dude either.....he is always so angry.
Jack as in steal, or jack as in handjob?
If you jack (as in handjob) the horse, may be you won't have to jack (as in steal) it?

I hate suspense. Just tell us already!
Maybe Manish is coming back.
fair and lovely ads

err 15bn - http://knowledge.computing.co.uk/2007/10/15bn-facebook-v.html
MOHINDER!
I'm hoping it's user registration.
See comment #34 for why.
I agree. If you come here for "community" not intelligence this is the place to be.

RC,
Feels like the dotcom time again, it is incredible that facebook is valued at 500 times its 2007 estimated earnings.
You cannot be serious Chocolat. Those fighting the good fight cannot be bought!
Sadaiyappan, what about the Bradbury novel?
But I did love that commercial just for the voice of Eartha Kitt.
my top 3 guesses:
(1) bobby jindal will become a contributing writer?
(2) live gambling for desis and friends?
(3) a shiny new matrimonial section?
Sepia Mutiny is going public and issuing IPO's??. I'll
bitebuy.Starting 'Dear Abhi' column for dispensing advice to the lovelorn ?
firefox?
Sepia Destiny
Abhi is the next presidential hopeful and choose to file his papers as a Republican.
Why do so many people think it has to do with Heroes? Am I missing something?
Something so wicked that it'll blot out the sun?!
It's amazing how folks assert that to write, one needs to be "professional". Since when do you need qualifications to express oneself?
- A Non-Writer
I know - Razib is coming on board.
a blog-suicide?
A halloween site makeover? Really, do we have to wait till Monday? You are stalling lives by doing this ;-)
Someone getting engaged?
May be ">this :)

Sepiamutiny is bought by Google?
The Heroes logo
Are you guys putting Helios on SM, maybe? Or buying a Mitsubishi? Or hiding behind the moon for a while?
Abhi has a super power!!
And the winner is 'comments are coming to Sepia News'.
Wow, congratulations! "SM: The Musical" is a fantastic idea, and I think it was a long time in the making. The true victory will be when the Bollywood adaptation is under production. Naturally, starring the "SM: The Blog" cast as the heros/heroines.

Hey! If the moon were made of barbecue spare ribs, would you eat it?
ooh evil one, must you let us wait?
Fuck yeah I would eat the moon! Ribs are sooo good. I have fond childhood memories of getting ribs with my dad and eating them at home.

Sadaiyappan, sorry to burst your bubble - happy reading!! Also, google is your friend - if you have the stomach for it, that is. ;)

Abhi has a Nature paper?
I almost had a paper in Science last year :) Ah well. My stuff can be found in the Astrobiology Journal.
For the record (re: all the other comments above), I am the biggest sci-fi freak ever. And I think Heroes sucks.
Heroes is more comic book than it is sci-fi. They try to emulate that old school comic book feel where it is a little too much good versus evil and a little too unrealistic.
Still waiting for it
