Google has a vested business interest in this project, but I am rooting for them anyway. Google wants to take that unused fuzzy space between TV channels and broadcast internet signals all over the country. They want EVERYTHING to be able to connect to the internet. I want internet in my car and I would love to see what happens to mobile phone pricing if they could use internet telephony effectively instead of just in wifi “hotspots” like today.
To support the cause go to Google’s campaign website.
How much you wanna bet…
In-Car DVD Players are Stupid

George Carlin is Gone
I once bet a guy in college that I could watch a George Carlin special on HBO without laughing. I did it, but it wasn’t at all easy. There is going to be a void left by Carlin dying.
Metallica Hates Bloggers
Metallica was against Napster back in the 90’s and today, they appear to be against bloggers.
Wha wha what?
What, exactly, did Metallica think a bunch of music bloggers were going to do with their newfound ear candy?

Value Proposition
Would you pay $100,000 for a Mercedes with 80,000 miles on it? The Seattle Seahawks sure wish they hadn’t.
The Golden Compass - DVD Movie Review
Whoever was in charge of the book, or movie script or whatever resulted in the finished movie “The Golden Compass,” really hates the church. I don’t know why, how, where, when, or whatever. In fact, I don’t really care. That isn’t my battle.
That being said, “The Golden Compass” was quite an entertaining movie. Between the little girl, the battling polar bear, the air pirates, Nicole Kidman as the Magisterium (SP?) and all the CGI action, I loved this movie. Really entertaining. I recommend it highly to anyone who likes fantasy movies and doesn’t have a hatred for kids stuff. I know a lot of people out there hate kids movies for some reason. If that is the case then you might not like this, but for everyone else, I think you will dig it.
I love the idea that everyone in the world has a weird “spirit animal” called a demon. I look forward to the follow up movies.
Wordpress Hoodie
How weird is it that I am so in love with my new online content management system (CMS) that I am tempted to buy a hoodie emblazoned with the big “W” that stands for Wordpress?

Ok, so it is definitely weird.
How weird?
F-word in Check Memo = Disorderly Conduct?
I really wish that this guy would have gone to trial to fight these fascist asses. I realize that it might not be in the best taste to write “Fuck You” in the memo field on a check that was used to pay a parking ticket, but I don’t think it violates any kinds of laws or represents disorderly conduct. In fact, I think it could easily be seen as a political statement or protest. Anyway, I wouldn’t do it personally, but I am far more offended that a police department would entertain a charge of disorderly conduct for this than I am that this guy put that in the memo line of his check.
In the end, he apologized and the charges were dropped, but he seriously didn’t have to apologize to anyone for that.
