    For you beer fans, now there’s a product for you! Since you are going to get a beer belly anyway, might as well make it useful right?

    Master: As I can’t make you happy.

    Dad listening to classical music on NPR.

    Big fan or too much time on their hands?

  • Lost Lost

    Anyone hear from Lost? Last post was Jan 3. I sent an email and got no reply.

  • iTunes – the open source version

    Songbird is an open source alternative to services like iTunes and Windows Media Player. Read more on BoingBoing. The names behind this are big including people who helped build Winamp (Rob Lord), Muse, Yahoo’s “Y! Music Engine” media player, and developers from Mozilla Foundation.

    The app acts like a specialized web browser for music. It sees the online world through MP3-colored glasses…

  • Seeking low cost, high volume van

    Anyone know someone at a car dealership looking to move a program van or some large capacity vehicle at low cost? I missed an opportunity to get a 12 seater van for $4000 and now I’m practically in tears over it. I would jump at a 9-12 person van right now. Anything that seats 7 or more is what we need. We need something sooner than later so keep your eyes peeled. Thanks!

  • Spammers recognize Half Naked Thursday!

    Wow! I just received a spam email titled "Re: H N T"! No, it didn’t originate from Osbasso. It was selling Viagra (as if married people need that! "Look honey!" "Dear, isn’t that going to get in the way while you paint the walls?").

  • Joss Whedon (Buffy, Firefly) Speaks on the Future of TV

    From a recent contribution by Joss Whedon to tv.com regarding the future of television. First, on great series:

    Lost has that one-of-a-kind alchemy that really can’t be copied. Therefore, look for the original series Misplaced, as well as Unfound, Not So Much with the Whereabouts and Just Pull Over and Ask!

    And technology:

    TiVo, iPods, streaming video — the way we watch TV is changing dramatically. It’s on our phones, in our cars — even projected on specialized eyeglasses. But don’t listen to the talk about having shows beamed directly into your brain. That’s science-fiction nonsense. Shows will be stored in the pancreas and will enter the brain through the bloodstream after being downloaded into your iHole.

    He hints to the evolution of Firefly but for that you’ll have to read the article.

  • Of Grasshoppers

    Student: I don’t want to face today.
    Master: It’s going to face you anyway.

  • Brittons (but not efnet’s Jonooka) Ask Americans Not To Litter

    “I’m trapped on an island in the Atlantic.” “What? Your island doesn’t have a waste bin?”

    “I recently found your bottle while taking a scenic walk on the beach by Poole Harbour. While you may consider this some profound experiment on the path and speed” of “oceanic currents, I have another name for it, litter.

    “You Americans don’t seem to be happy unless you are mucking about somewhere,” says the letter
