No war for pipeweed
Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky did not appear on the audio commentary of The Lord of the Rings. I can see why.

Bush: Move zig for great justice

I hate you all
If you were driving on 101 this morning, I hate you. Why were you driving so slow? Why are there so many of you? What the hell? 86 minutes is a new record for my commute. I need to finish that time machine I've been working on.

And I thought Raisin Cane was bad
I love Penny Arcade. They are a sufficiently geeky web comic that pokes fun at the things I hold dear. But their dark vision of Strawberry Shortcake has gotten them in trouble. Just another case of jackasses fiercely protecting their intellectual property.

In case you don't know, and I honestly don't know why you shouldn't, Raisin Cane was the neice of Sour Grapes who only made an appearance in the comic book. I think I bought a 3 pack comic set at a truck stop. The two comics I could see were Casper and Fraggle Rock, and smooshed in between the two was Strawberry Shortcake. I must have read that comic a dozen times in the car.

This is what the fuck I think I'm doing
Madonna tries to chastise people downloading mp3s of her new album, American Life. Users of various P2P file sharing utilities download what they think is the CD only to get blank MP3 files with her asking "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" What does this get her? Apart from some cool sounding remixes (mp3), it gets her site hacked along with links to the real MP3s of her songs.

Philip J. Fry's
My housemate set up a blog to chronicle his trips to Fry's. He is completely insane about this place, but I can't really blame him.

Distributed Searching
Grub uses distributed computing to crawl the web with a cool graphical client much like Seti@Home. Neato. But who cares?

Computers that don't look or act like computers will eventually come to pass. I will fight it tooth and nail. But devices like this will make the transition much groovier.

Got pulled over today for driving in the carpool lane at 3:20pm. I wasn't even thinking. Why does our rush hour run from 3:00pm until 7:00pm? Bunch of leave-work early slackers in this town. That's a $271 ticket, by the way. Owie zowie.

Zack didn't die... he really did go to live on a tropical island with other dogs.
I thought my mother was full of shit. The vet put him to sleep and she was just trying to make me feel better. It turns out that there really is an island just for dogs. They really could have come up with a more creative name than Dog Island. And I really don't know what a dogologist is. I also don't know why they study dogology and not the dogs themselves.

Nobody sued Andy Warhol
Had he used Pfizer products instead of soup cans, perhaps he would have.

The Shitting Tree

     "Uh-oh," said Zack. He wasn't sure who was in more danger�Mittens or his butt. Mittens was always catching birds and mice and leaving them half chewed on the front doorstep. But she had never caught a butt before. Well, not as far as Zack knew, anyway. And a half-chewed butt on the doorstep wouldn't be something you'd be likely not to notice. Still, he didn't want to take any chances.
     Before Zack had time to do anything, however, Mittens leaped.
     But Zack's butt was faster.
     It bent over, aimed itself directly at Mittens, and fired a loud, deadly stream of gas. Mittens fell to the ground. Zack's butt took off up the street, its little arms and legs pumping away like pistons.

I like butt jokes as much as the next guy. Call me immature. But a childrens book whose antagonist is a butt is way cool. Sure beats the crap out of the Shel Silverstein books I read as a kid.

The Christian Right takes some cues from the porn industry
Now if you mistype the URL of your favorite blog, you get a lesson in Christianity and pop-up ads.

I don't really read Dave Barry's blog. It's just an example of what transposing two digits will do. And it's the highest blogspot URL on a Google seach for "blog."

There are some things that I have a hard time imagining together. The four words Britney Spears Semiconductor Physics should really never be uttered in the same sentance, let alone be found on the same page.
