A fitting remembrance of the day Michael Jackson died and nearly took the Internet with him.

TECH BUZZ: The first of what can only be many Twitter books is upon us. James Bridle self-published two years' worth of his Tweets in a lovely, antique-fail-whale adorned hardcover book. I guess this is 2009's answer to publishing an author's journals and old letters. We can at least say it is; it sounds classier.

Yiying Lu, designer of Twitter's Fail Whale (or the adorable image that pops up when Twitter is overloaded), was featured in New York Times Magazine.

Twitter is apparently retiring the Fail Whale in favor of these two guys, Fail Caterpillar and Fail Ice Cream Cone. They obviously need catchier names, and early suggestions include the Twitterpillar and the Cone of Silence. But can they ever take the Fail Whale's place in our hearts?

The Fail Whale has broken free and is swimming once again. A little optimism from yours truly.

The image you see when Twitter is down (which is often), has a fan club . The stolen piece of illustration by Yiying Lu is spawning comics, t-shirts, and throngs of followers.
